Well, I’m going to try something new for Thanksgiving tomorrow; two different carrot cakes. One gluten free, sugar-free, the other raw carrot cake. This evening I prepared the carrots in the food processor. I’m making raisin syrup by soaking raisins tonight as a sweetener. I’m looking forward to trying the recipes and tasting the cakes. Will let you know how they come out tomorrow. Have an incredibly wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!
I’m so excited about continuing with this detox. I feel I could be doing a better job. I realized that making these posts helps with the accountability that helps with motivation to keep going. I’ve strayed a bit from the original food choices I had selected to use over the 28 days. This was mostly due to curiosity about a new way of eating raw and some boredom with the set of recipes I had to support this detox.
So for Day 11, I made another kale and tomato salad which I’m coming to love. I included raw almonds and bit of goat cheese for protein. Earlier I had a green salad. I still didn’t feel too hungry at the end of the day but quite satisfied. I can tell that weight is coming off but I haven’t been on a scale for a few weeks. Guess it might be time for that pretty soon.
Without this detox I probably would’t be finding these great recipes to try and being so conscious of how these fresh, new foods are affecting my body. Think about joining me in your own detox. Believe me, it’s worth it.
The first full week of the detox has been completed. This is becoming an enjoyable experience. What I feel after one week is less brain fog. It’s good to feel that I can remember things better, all by letting my body get cleansed.
Okay – for day 6 of my detox I almost wanted to go out and buy a bag of potato chips; the well-baked, salt and cracked pepper type that gives a great crunch. But I resisted and I’m glad I did. So after that little crisis I got into my huge bag of baby carrots to get my crunch.
Five days in and I’m feeling fine! It’s getting more exciting to try new foods each day on this detox. One thing I’m learning is to have something to eat before you get too hungry, and eating raw vegan will let you get hungry more often than eating animal proteins and fats.
