Day 1 - Decision is taken to start today!
Hello my dear friends.......
We have a Raw Food Coach onboard but this is not the reason for my decision....Though her presentation of the Raw Food Diet may have participated in my enlightenment!
After having spent a rainy week end eating too much fatty cheese....so much that I became sick....and after having been badly sick over the past few years, I have spent this sick week end doing some research on the raw food approach.
I am ready to give it a try.
The purpose is NOT TO LOSE weight. The purpose is too feel healthier and more energetic.
I wake up tired, I have a hard time sleeping.....don't feel that good these days!
Just for the record, my weight this morning is 48.5 kilos for 18% body fat (according to the CDC I am technically underfat!)..we shall see if this diet impacts my weight and body fat or not.
I placed an order yesterday on www.eatraw.com to get all I need...and I put some green lentils in a dish with water to make them sprout. I need to ask Kaleah (our Raw Food Diet coach) if this is the proper way!
Will share more tomorrow......
oops...I forgot..I started the day with a hot tea...this I won't give up because I know how good it is for me (especially on a rainy day :o)
Because my order has not arrived from Eat Raw yet, I had the following breakfast: an apple, some sprouted grain whole wheat bun + raw basil/tomato pesto. Because it was chilly this morning, I ate standing above my oven with its door open :o)...and not to lose any minute, I contracted my glutes all the time I stood there!
Ok now the challenge is that I am having a business lunch in a restaurant.....what will I find there???
Well, I am back......Got a blueberry fresh juice + carrots, cucumber, sprouted soy beans and spinach. I was luck..there was a vegan organic bar!
On my way back, bought some raw bread, lots of beans to sprout in my kitchen and raw honey for the sweet tooth :o) and some cool raw nuts...funny! usually with roasted salted cashews, I cannot stop..here after a handful (and a small one) I just stopped naturally.....
Truly yours,
Valerie
