Eating nothing but raw foods for five days has been the most challenging part of this whole diet. More difficult than giving up Chocolate, having nothing but pureed soup after five, and preparing almost every meal myself!
I cannot imagine a life of nothing but raw food! I craved bread, baked sweet potatoes, caramelized onions, sauteed eggplants, steamed vegetables. I thought about the vegetarian green curry I could no longer have and the Indian lentil dish. I dreamed of brown rice topped with vegetarian celery stew in broad daylight.
How glad I am that it is now over. I go back to the Vegan diet I once found so restrictive with renewed excitement. I can EAT!! I can eat almost all that I please! Well, except for dairy, meats, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, saturated fats, etc. But still, there is so much that I CAN eat now. Fruits, steamed kale, organic peanut butter with toast, bananas, and a tad honey, grilled portobello mushroom sandwich...
I absolutely cannot wait to get started!!!
