I tried raw food in 2005, and it was the best I’d felt in a long long time. I looked better. I felt so healthy. I just could not believe that lost 30 pound in 2 months with little to no exercise. It was truly phenomenal. So tomorrow I will begin a 100 day quest toward living 100% raw.
I’m doing this for my health, my lasting beauty, and the peace that come with not worrying about weight and bad health (that comes with the Standard American Diet). I weigh about 195 currently (I’ll due an official weigh in at some point..soon). I turned 30 in February and I’m just tried of saying over and over and over and over that I’ll lose the weight by _______ [pick a date, any date]. Now I know there will be nay-sayers and people who ask about protein sources…blah blah. I know what works for me…and I do have a doctor. I think people put way too much faith in our current medical system without common sense. Junk food is junk. Processed food with dyes, preservatives and other chemicals is not good for the body. There is a reason why cancer and other diseases are so much more rampant than they were 50 year ago. I could go on and on…but I’ll do that later. That’s why I have this blog right. What I also know is that seeing is believing. So, I’m going to let you…the public…in on my raw food diary. I’m going to let you walk with me on this journey. You’ll see and hear about my ups and my downs. You’ll see my before photos and glorious after shots. I can’t wait.
I’ve been preparing for about 2 weeks. I’ve kept my diet at around 70% raw. It’s been…interesting. Well, actually it’s not that bad…the cravings are just nerve racking. I’m a sugar addict so I’ve had at least some candy or chocolate everyday. I’ve also had chips, popcorn and diet coke. I’ll have to give all that up. I think that in the long run I’ll probably be about 90-95% raw for life. We all have some slip ups from time to time. However, for the next 100 days I’m committed to being 100% raw.
Wish me luck!!!!!
