Being raw so far has been interesting.

Overall, I still genuinely like the food I’m eating. I’ve noticed how much more food (in terms of mass/size) I eat compared to everyone else and yet I keep dropping weight.

On Saturday night I was a this big party and they didn’t have any organic/raw wine… so I didn’t drink anything that night. Honestly, it would have been much more fun with alcohol involved but I was happy with my determination. Also, at the after party everyone was eating pizza and I wanted a slice pretty badly. But I had an apple instead. Everyone got pissed off and assumed that I was judging them for eating bad food. I got a kick out of that :)

I have lost about 10 lbs so far. People who don’t see me everyday comment on how much more defined my face is and how much smaller my neck is. This diet is perfect for girls trying to lose weight.

I can really see myself doing this full time when money is not such a concern and I am properly prepared for it. I’m thinking June. But before I do this again, I really need to bulk up with muscle and do higher weight-oriented workouts and continue to do them while on the diet. I was doing lots of cardio before this month and in the beginning of the month, but I soon realized that it is not a good use of time for raw food people. Lifting, yoga and stretching is where it’s at.

This month I’ve had a heightened sense of clarity and I’ve been more emotionally aware than before. I recently realized what I need to do with my life. I don’t think eating raw will help you figure out all your problems, but it make me really think about how I am handling my life. I’ll take the credit for figuring out what to do about it…

I will never look at food the same way again. You really have to shut down part of your brain to believe that the processed chemically-filled stuff that comes in boxes is food. Why do humans think that they can make better, tastier and healthier food than mother nature? Because some fat rich corporate person makes a lot of money off of it and he employs his minions to market the hell out of the food that is made.

And on that note, good luck with your raw diet goals!
