I’ve been 80-100% Raw Vegan for the last month…give or take a weekend. The thing that most surprises me is that eating the same things all most every day is not that bad. A lil boring at times, but not a bad thing. Most days I eat some combination of the following:
Smoothie: Some combo of Bananas, Strawberries, Mango, Spinach
Grapes
Baby Carrots
Raw Nuts: Sunflower seed, Walnuts, Cashews
Water
Raw Honey
Dates
Huge Salad: Romaine, Spinach, Orange slices, sprouts, etc
There is something very comforting about knowing what I’m going to eat. My mind wanders off less. I’m not pondering french fries. I’m not considering shrimp or McDonald’s double cheeseburgers. Why, because I’ve already made up my mind about what I’m going to eat way ahead of time. It’s really quite good, actually.
Hi there,
I agree, repetition is a good thing. I’m encouraged to hear about your raw lifestyle and how you ‘fall off the wagon’ every once in awhile. I understand completely. When I fall off I get back on again because I start feeling the difference in my health and energy. Thank you for sharing your experience with raw food. I’ve just started a raw blog. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Keep up the good work.
