30 Days and still Goin

Ive eaten 100% raw for more than a month now. It was hard the first 2 weeks but after that everything went well. Heres the summary.

First couple days, I had a mild headaches. Probably the body reaction to the massive amounts of vitamins. Detox symptoms basically. 

Pissing a lot. Shitting a lot. No odor. 

Mental clarity.

Rise in awareness and confidence.

Happier and lighter feeling. 

Lost 4 pounds. Working on gaining it back though.

Require less sleep.

Wild, Vivid dreams.

More relaxed. 

Higher level of energy.

basically eating raw is the shit.

I ate some cooked vegetables after the initial 30 days. It didnt feel too good. 

I have had No caffeine or alcohol. Plan on keeping it that way until my 21st in march. When I do plan on getting hammered.

In conclusion, eating raw for 30 days was a blast. I am healthier now both physically and mentally. 

I am now a vegetarian and will eat some cooked vegetables. 

I plan on going back to 100% raw in about a month. ( i need to save some money )

This was a fun challenge.

Couple more days.




Im proud to say that this is how my refrigerator has looked for the past month. Filled with lots of fruits and vegetables. I have eaten soo many different varieties of fruits and vegetables that I'm not too sure which are left to eat. I still have a couple days left so on my last day I will sum up my opinions. 

I went grocery shopping and spent around $150 so I defi
nitely feel some damage in my bank account this month, but its not half bad. I only spend about five to ten dollars more than I would be spending everyday.

I went on a trip to Frisco and it was pretty mellow. Got there at night so I had only 1 full day to see everything then left back for Los Angeles at night. I got to see everything that needed to be seen, but didn't have time to absorb much. 

Went to the landmarks such as alcatraz, china town, the gate bridge, china town, all the different towns, sausalito, the tea garden, and a bunch of other places. I like the town and the atmosphere, but I don't see myself living there. I brought tons of fruits and vegetables on the trip so I didn't need to buy any food besides water. 


TODAY.

Breakfast: 4 bananas + 100 g spinach + 15 carrots + 1 cup water +1 tsp organic flax seed = all blended.

Pre- lunch- large salad with tomatoes and bananas + 1 fuji apple 

Lunch: 1 large bowl rice with mixed assorted vegetables.

Pre dinner: 2 bananas + 2 kiwis + 1 pear 
large salad with cacao + 1/2 bell pepper + 1 banana + grape tomatoes.


Dinner: Large bowl of rice with assorted vegetables.

I have been maintaining my weight and is now exactly the weight I was on day 1. 
Its not easy eating all day trying to fill the daily requirements, but the benefits far outweigh the work. In all honesty, I have to desire to eat meat or fish of any sort. Im happy and my taste buds are fully satisfied eating 100% raw. After the 2 week point it has more or less been smoothe cruising.

I have a new project aligned for me after this raw diet challenge so be tuned. This next one will be a real challenge.

Day 23 halloween

So I have not written this for a week.
Found it to be too repetitive and I got busy to make time to write.
I'm still doing good. This is not as hard of a task or a goal than I thought. After finding it to be easier and easier to eat raw as the days go by, I see myself being a lifelong raw foodist.

My usual daily meals are as follows.

Breakfast: 4 banana+ carrots+ spinach  +1 cup water shake. This seems to be the perfect shake to start the day. 

Snacks: I munch on various fruits such as Fuji apples, oranges, clementines, berries, blueberries, raspberries, pears, bananas throughout the day or I make myself a shake here and there.

Lunch: 
large bowl of salad with 1/2 bell pepper, cacao nibs
, goji berries, 1 sliced banana + dressing
Then I eat a bowl of rice with various vegetables. Basically a vegetable rice bowl.

Dinner: 
I would usually eat another bowl of rice with vegetables and then eat another large salad right after.

I end up eating enough to keep my weight as stable as possible but It does fluctuate a little. Without the amount of rice I am eating I would no
t be able to keep my weight stable.

I am drinking tons of water throughout the day too.

Still no alchol, sugars, junk food, meat, caffeine, or sodas. Although I am getting cravings for junk food from time to time because I feel the food I am eating to be very repetitive and desire some change. I feel as if I can do this forever as long as I switch up and change the types of fruits and vegetables I eat.
old pictures. fun shit.

My mind is definitely feeling clearer than when I was eating meat. I feel lighter in every way. 
I have one week to go.
cheers.
