I added the idea of trying a raw diet to my list of things I want to accomplish in the next 18 months because I wanted to see what kind of a diet worked for me. Will going raw really be as "uplifting" and wonderful as everyone says? Will I want to shun chocolate and cake and all the other things that are toxifying (is that even a word?) my body?
I have no clue. Simple answer. I figure I can do it for a week and since tomorrow starts my official "Lose 75 lbs in 18 months" challenge, I figured going raw was maybe the easiest thing to do.
Tomorrow is actually a fast day in the Jewish calendar, but since I am still nursing #5 I only have ot fast into the afternoon, and then I can officially start my one week of raw eating.
I know it is going to be hard. I love bread. And peanut butter. And while I am sure I could sprout my own wheat and make some form of bread, I'm not going to. Likewise making my own peanut butter. With five kids under 6 running around my house, I am goign to have to settle for the basics of the raw diet.
I am hoping that I feel better by the end of the week. That going raw helps me discover all the fruits and vegetables that I truly love and also helps me discover a few that I have not tried. I don't think going raw is going to be a permanent change, but I could be wrong. Go on world, surprise me! Make me want to drink raw wheatgrass and raw carob candy bars! Sounds awesome! Well, maybe not. Like I said, I only have a very basic desire to rediscover all the wonderful fruit and veg out ther ethat I have been ignoring for chocolate spread and popsicles. Truly, my diet is crap. And chocolate spread is delicious. Do they have raw chocolate spread? No! Don't tell me. Let's focus on peppers.
