Day 4: 14 Days Raw Vegan

Picture from Dig

So, yesterday, I ended up having a zucchini salad with one shredded zucchini, a chopped tomato, a third of an onion (chopped) and a third of a yellow bell pepper chopped too. It tasted awesome! For my main dinner, I had a banana and 3/4 of a pineapple. I couldn't finish the pineapple to I saved it for my breakfast. Unfortunately, I didn't get any breakfast till 1:25pm because I woke up, worked out and started getting ready for the day. My breakfast was an extra large peach, an extra large nectarine and an extra large pink lady apple with about 500ml of a banana and (leftover) pineapple smoothie. Yum! I dipped some of the fruit in the smoothie and it totally transformed their tastes. It was amazing.

So, today, I ate raw till 4 because of a family event that expected to eat cooked food at. I managed to eat vegan  by having some fried plantains and a salad so that was good. For a snack before dinner, I had raw spinach with a small clementine and a couple of grapes about 30 minutes later.

I would say that today went pretty well. I'm going back to eating raw tomorrow and on Wednesday, I'll switch back to raw till 4.

My body's still detoxing well and I lost less than a kilogram overnight last night.

p.s I'm really craving vegetarian/vegan sushi, but it's not like I've ever had it before. Dunno, why.

Day 2: 14 Days Raw Vegan

Picture gotten from YoungAndRaw

Today was better than yesterday, but I don't think I had enough calories especially with my active lifestyle. I had a little over 1045 calories today.

So, for breakfast, I had a nectarine, peach and pink lady apple salad. Yum! And for lunch/dinner (was too busy to eat anything between or after), I had over 1.25 litres of a green juice that had peaches, nectarines, a quarter of a watermelon, spinach, kale and basil. I seem to have a newfound love for basil like it's AWESOME with strawberries and it's just amazing with everything when used raw.

Anyways, today, I didn't really feel sick. My body is still releasing quite a lot of liquids and their clear now like as clear as water (tmi, sorry).

I stepped on the scale today and I've lost about 2kg. Like what, 2kg in 2 days?! Wow! My aim for this is a detox not really weight loss, but I don't mind the weight loss as long as I don't lost more than 4kg more.

Oh! and I've decided that for 7 days I am going to eat fully raw and then for the other 7 days, I'm going to eat raw till 4pm. I changed things up a bit because of issues with my family, getting my calories in quickly, social issues with family (I have to go to a family celebration and I'm expected to eat cooked food there) and....well....I'm not used to eating a lot at a time or eating many times in one day so this is a struggle for me. It's hard to get all my calories in. I'm going to continue eating fully raw for 7 days, maybe drink my calories in a homemade green smoothie every now and then because I pack in LOADS of calories in those just so I'm sure I have enough calories every day without having to return to the kitchen every couple of hours to prepare something to eat.

One thing I don't like right now is that there is little to no variety in my house so I'm pretty much eating or drinking the same thing daily (or just switching up or excluding one or two things each time) and that is pretty annoying.

I still plan on eating raw maybe once a week or for most of my meals in a day in future, but then, I would have variety to help because, I am a vegetarian who loves her fruits so give me as many fruits as possible (apart from cherries, I'm allergic to those) and I'll eat them gladly! :)

Day 3 tomorrow! :)
