I’m back! Still going raw, and I’ll be a bit more regular in the future… life just caught up a bit, but I’m still raw, and that’s what’s important for this 30 day challenge. I’ve mostly filled up my meals with cashews, apples. oranges, dates. bananas, and celery sticks. I did make some raw cookies,…

Day 9 – Football season
Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!! I am man, and as man, I must watch football. I love my nachos, chips, wings and pizza, but that’s the kind of talk that got me to where I was in the first place. So, what can I munch on instead while yelling at the tv for the next 3-4 hours?…
Day 6 – Hands Off My Nut Meat
The kids have told me that every Tuesday night is officially Taco night. I know they like tacos, and all things Tex-Mex (and I think they also like to speak alliteratively by saying “Taco Tuesdays” as many times as possible until they’re sure I know what I’m supposed to cook for them that night). Me, personally?…
Day 5 – Mixing It Up
I know me and just like I said, I’m getting bored with simply eating unmixed food. It feels like I’m snacking all the time, or eating off of a really healthy hors d’oeuvres tray. So, I’m going to make my first dish, outside of making a salad today. It got this recipe from an Ani Pho…
Day 4 – Nothing Like A Good Date…
Do you know what? I love dates. I love the taste of them. I love the sweetness they provide me when I’m going raw, because if you were/are a big consumer of sugary products (and most of us were as kids, and perhaps as adults… candies, most morning cereals, specialty drinks from starbucks, “fruit” juices,…
Day 3 – Amped Up…
I realize I missed a blog post yesterday and there’s a reason. That’s because once my caffeine fog lifted, I woke up yesterday and found myself with WAY too much energy. I got up around 5:30 (on a saturday, like an old farmer or something), my headache was gone, my body felt energized and I…
Day 2 – The Upcoming Storm…
Ok, it’s day 2. I’ve packed a great lunch again… baby carrots, 2 oranges, raw cashews, a few prunes, and a few bananas. (By the way, I’m a big time banana horder… I usually buy about 8-10 pounds a week, and I just snack on them and do a variety of other things with them….
Day 1 – 30 Days of Rawness…
Ok, I’m on it. I went to the sueprmarket yesterday and loaded up on some good, raw, wholesome food. I stocked up with tomatoes (plum and grape), oranges, lettuce (boston and a spring salad mix) raw cashews, cantaloupe, red onion, garlic, and like 10 pounds of bananas. For breakfast/lunch, I had some decaffeinated tea, 3…
Juicin Up…
Morning folks. Still going raw, and still going strong. Lost 2 1/2 pounds last week and I’m really feeling great. I’m going to start my day off with a great blast of carrot/apple juice with a hit of ginger. AAAAAAH! Check out my sexy carrot juice pic! (look at it… you know you want some…)…
Bringin it Raw…
Ok, here’s the true story of my raw food adventures. My girlfriend and I were constantly trying to work out and lose weight. Some attempts were more successful than others (we did the whole p-90x series and loosely followed the diet plan) The one thing we noticed was the P-90s diet plan really was a…
