A 30-Day Raw-Diet-Transition Challenge
Posted by January Harshe on December 20, 2007
I have decided to start a 30 day challenge for myself. This can help me finish my transition to a raw food lifestyle. As you know I have gone back and forth, but every time I read about eating raw, I get excited. I feel drawn to it. So, here goes. I’m about to make up for a life time of a diet lacking in fruits and veggies. My healthy diet before probably won’t be able to compare to what I about to embark on!
JOIN ME!!!
Start anytime during the 30 days! If you want you can email me (january@theskinnyonjanuary.com) with your thoughts, ideas and a sample day of what you are eating and I might just post it on our site.
Day One- I Am What I Eat:
-A green smoothie made up of banana, orange, spinach, grapes, frozen strawberries. I call it a green smoothie if I happen to get anything green in it at all. Some people like to make sure to get half and half. I’ll work up to it!
-Nut Butter/Chocolate Balls (recipe filed under Recipe category to the right!) These saved me today.
-A cut up mango
-Raw crackers
-Fruit salad with bananas, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, raisins, raw agave,,,this was so tasty!
-Homemade hummus…I made this w/garbanzo beans, raw tahini, lemon, garlic and cumin. The beans weren’t "raw", but I am ok with that. I can’t go crazy at first b/c then I won’t stick to this change.
-Did a drive by on almonds and pecans every so often
-Small serving of a green smoothie. This one had orange, clementine, banana, frozen strawberries and organ wheat grass!
-Synergy Kombucha
-Drank water all day
-I made the salad in the picture a week or so ago. It has sprouts, radish, carrots, cucumber, pumpkin seeds, spinach and Bragg’s. It was yum!
Thoughts of the Day:
Well, I think that if you are going raw, you should have a raw dessert on hand. When I was like, "hmmm, I need something yummy" I went to the fridge and had the nut butter/cocoa balls. Also, when I got the munchies I had the raw crackers. Other than that I ate fruit and veggies all day. I felt totally satisfied and enjoyed everything I ate.
Tomorrow:
Continue to eat raw and move my freakin’ a**!!!
