Raw food trial – day 24

November 2, 2009

I was having some problems with my internet router tonight, so I spent an evening fiddling with my computers instead of thinking and writing about raw foods. I think I will stick mostly to the meal plan updates for the remainder of the 30 day raw food trial.
Unless I experience something new, that is. Like [...]

Raw food trial – day 23

November 1, 2009

I ordered some raw almonds earlier in the week, hoping I’ll have the entire weekend to attempt making almond milk (and things related) again, but unfortunately the package has not yet shown up at my door.
So, instead I spent the day playing video games and reading – or rather listening to audiobooks.
As result, just a [...]

Raw food trial – day 22

October 31, 2009

Today, I decided to try a fruit I had never tried before – a pomegranate.
At a first glance, this fruit looks pretty normal, but on the inside it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. And if it wasn’t for YouTube, I’d have no idea what to do with it
The first thing I found out [...]

Raw food trial – day 21

October 30, 2009

Well, it looks like I made it through the first 3 weeks on a raw food diet!
As of this morning, the scale showed 147 pounds, which makes me 8 pounds lighter than I was three weeks ago. This happened even though most of the time I am not paying attention to what I am eating [...]

Raw food trial – day 20

October 29, 2009

Today was the first day, since I started the raw food diet, that I had to work not from home, but from the office.
I was wondering how I’d survive the day without my fridge and the VitaMix, but it turned out to be very easy. In the morning, I packed my cooler lunch bag with [...]

Raw food trial – day 19

October 28, 2009

This was the second day in a row that I woke up feeling very thirsty. I had a glass of water right before bed last night, and it only helped a bit. But at least today I did not wake up before it was time to get up. Tonight I’ll have a pint of water [...]

Raw food trial – day 18

October 27, 2009

I woke up this morning a little bit more than an hour earlier than my alarm clock was set to. I was very, very thirsty. My lips were very dry, and my throat was sore – although it was a different feeling than when getting sick.
I had 2 glasses of water, and that seemed to [...]

Raw food trial – day 17

October 26, 2009

Today I’ve done some experimenting, so let’s jump right in…
Meal #1 @ 8:00am
It’s Monday morning, work begins in 30 minutes and I’ve just gotten up – perfect timing to test my theory of whether a large ratio of fruit to greens is what I need in my green smoothies, in order to avoid digestive problems.
The [...]

Raw food trial – day 16

October 25, 2009

Today was another lazy day, as far as the raw lifestyle goes.
Although I have been planning to make a recipe that I had not tried before, I decided to take it easy instead. This decision was partially prompted by a quick survey of the content of my fridge, which resulted in a realization that [...]

Raw food trial – day 15

October 24, 2009

It’s day 15, which means that I’ve successfully made it through the first half of my 30 day raw food lifestyle trial. Here are my impressions so far.
Eating raw is actually much, much easier than I had expected. During the last 15 days, I have not experienced cravings for any cooked foods. I think that, [...]
