Reality check! So here we are at day 1. I have been eating a lot of cooked congesting food lately and I have gained weight, lost energy, lost mental clarity, I feel bloated and congested and my joints are hurting. I am experiencing some headaches too. So, I know how to fix this.....Go RAW baby Go RAW!

bloaty tummy that looks like a muffin top (girls this is NOT a sexy look so stop it!) hard to get in my jeans!
My skin is dry

16 oz vanilla almond milk with a banana and a little agave
Lg green salad with half head of red leaf lettuce, a lg handful of baby greens, half an avocado and the tahini dressing that Ben makes here at Vod

I'm coming over tonight after work!
ReplyDeleteHave been wanting to try raw foods -- besides the usual fruits, carrots and celery, etc. -- and see what this new trend is about.
Maybe you'll have recipes? I guess a cook book is out of the question :) ~~Lynn
You can count me in, I will be following you. I need to get back on track too!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Schall's Vodsagna is delicious! I was full after dinner just like after eating cooked lasagna (whether traditional or vegetarian) but I had lots of energy for the rest of the evening. Thanks Schall - I appreciate your input and as I make out my menu and grocery list, will be including raw selections for each day. ~~Lynn
