30 Day Raw Food Experiment

Re: 30 Day Raw Food Experiment

Brent, are you trying to lose weight as well?

You should have cottage cheese and cucumber and pepper, mm! I had that last night and it was yummy :) I also had a wheat free wrap that was only 130 calories with some tuna and cottage cheese and some other stuff thrown in.

I noticed for the first week going gluten free I had intense cravings for everything I cut out, and I also felt miserable. After awhile it get's better. I'm surprised your not pooping more with all that fruit, you should add some more veggies to your diet for roughage.
 
Re: 30 Day Raw Food Experiment

Nope, not trying to lose weight. I'm 5'9 and weigh about 160 pounds or so.

The only thing non raw-vegan I've had is a little artisan bread as a platform for the veggies and stuff, so cottage cheese might be further than I want to go with his experiment (dairy). There is a recipe for raw vegetarian cottage cheese which I might try if I think I can stick with it after my 30 days...

That's too bad. I discovered cottage cheese recently and love it so much. The only problem is the sodium. Actually, I think I'll go scramble some eggs with cottage cheese right now :)

Your body will be going through a shock period. One of the best things you can do is to help your Colon free up some of the stuff it might be holding on to for the last 7 years... I BE Very serious about this. No one likes to go near the subject but, start searching why it is you need to empty the cess pool (colon) prior or during a Raw Diet.


Keep the "ruffage" up. Also, any and all Raw Green veggies. Stay away from dark brown or black.

Do you have a Rice Cooker? I highly recommend you get some Brown Rice. A Rice Cooker is fool proof. If you get one let me know.

Yes, I know, Brown Rice isn't "Raw". However, if I may:

Ah, don't be surprised if your body manifests all sorts of -shit hit the fan- aches and complaints.
 
Re: 30 Day Raw Food Experiment

There it is. The cravings for all the things you know you can't have.

I get gluten cravings around my period too :P haha I daydream about whole wheat toast with margarine.

Day 3:

Cravings are setting in... I really want some damn Beefaroni right now.

Breakfast:
Made a smoothie with 2 bananas and various leafy greens. Ate 3 large oranges, a bunch of grapes, 3 stalks of celery, a sliced up papaya. 2 bananas, a handful of raspberries and blueberries and 6 strawberries.

Lunch:
A cup of raw nuts and seeds and a huge salad (romaine lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, and an avocado. Lemon juice for dressing).

Dinner:
10 strawberries, 2 bananas, 1 slice of watermelon, a cup of blackberries.

I feel like I got plenty of calories today, not hungry at all and way more energy than normal. Did feel a bit feverish right before lunch which is in line with detox symptoms, or blood-sugar issues like another poster described.

Major cravings for junk food though... I spent a good portion of the day thinking about a nice big hamburger...
 
Re: 30 Day Raw Food Experiment

This girl and I went to dinner about a week ago and I had to abandon my experiment. Women before science.

I HAVE been eating quite a bit healthier though, I actually get nauseous at the thought of fast food or overly sugared stuff. My complexion has cleared up immensely, I've got more energy, when I wake up in the morning I'm actually AWAKE... I imagine if I had made it the whole 30 days I'd have eventually learned to shoot lasers from my eyes and travel through time without the aid of a magnet.
