How I did it: I started by being really hard on myself about the amount of processed food and junk I was eating, and made a real commitment to cut out junk food and replace it as much as possible with food in it's purest edible form (either raw or simply cooked).
I replaced most of my mcdonald's breakfasts with fruit, lunches with fruit and raw vegetables instead of my usual take-out and every night for dinner, a plate heaping with cooked veggies.
Lessons & tips: My biggest difficulty was finding the time to prepare healthy foods, especially since that time preparing food for myself was competing with time spent preparing food for my picky and meat eating children.
Switching to raw foods for breakfast and lunch actually cut down on my food preparation times. And for dinner I just decided to keep it simple by making the same dish every night, but slightly varied. I make a medley of roasted vegetables every single night by mixing whatever's at hand (potatos, yams, peppers, carrots, parsnips) with broth, olive oil and garlic and cooking it slowly, basting every so often.
I've also been preparing all the raw vegetables on sundays and wednesdays, so there are always carrot sticks, broccoli and cherry tomatoes in the fridge. Since the kids won't eat the roasted vegetables at dinner, they get a combination of raw veggies and frozen peas or corn each night.
I am glad this is over. Along the way, I thought that it probably wouldn’t change my eating habits that much but getting breakfast (grapefruit) ready just now, I made up a little bowl of blueberries and strawberries for Sophie and Will and snacked on them, too.
I think I will probably still count vegetables and fruits up in my head throughout the day!
I don’t think I could pack another fruit/vegetable in yesterday. It’s healthy and everything but I was stuffed! My lunch plate was a small sandwich on a roll and nothing else but fruits and vegetables. Very colorful and healthy but I don’t know how else to jam in more fruits and vegetables!
edit: Oh! that sandwich had a big wad of lettuce on it!
Maybe if we count potatoes, I have another serving but that could be dangerous. Potatoes should stay in the starch category.
So still no better or worse. But we went to this fruit and vegetable market just outside of town and bought 4 times as many strawberries, cherries, grapefruit and bananas as we would get at the grocery for the same price so now it’s like a fruit smorgasboard in my kitchen!
