Raw Food Diet - Day Thirty-one
Friday, July 31, 2009
The last day!
I was quite surprised when I weighed myself this morning; I am down over 15 lbs since I started the raw food diet at the beginning of the month.
For breakfast I had a banana, 16 oz of orange juice, half a cup of walnuts, and a handful of almonds. I had a light lunch today; a
GoRaw Live "Granola" Bar and more orange juice.
I went to the
Giants game tonight so I brought some stuff with me: a bag each of
Living Intentions Rosemary Garlic Pistachios & Almonds and
Sun-Dried Marinara Almonds & Pistachios. Before the game I had more
GT's Organic Raw Kombucha Divine Grape, a plum, and some tomatoes with
cheese and
crackers.

Raw Food Diet - Day Thirty
Thursday, July 30, 2009
I had a bigger breakfast today, a banana and grapefruit early and later a bowl of
Cacao Crunch cereal and
milk.
Lunch was kind of weird as we had our company picnic today. I grabbed a bunch of stuff and brought it along. Over the next couple hours I had a banana, a plum, a bottle of grapefruit juice and a bottle of
GT's Organic Raw Kombucha Divine Grape.
I had a fairly light dinner tonight, partly because I was exhausted and partly because I had a fat upper lip from playing football at the picnic. I had an apricot, about 12 oz of orange juice, and a couple glasses of ice water.
When I weighed myself in the evening - normally I do this in the morning - I was a up just a tad.

Raw Food Diet - Day Twenty-nine
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
3 days and counting...
I am hovering around 13 lbs less than when the month began.
A typical breakfast today, cereal and
milk, though I had to mix
Living Intentions Cacao Crunch and
Acai Blueberry as my supplies are getting low. I grabbed some fresh squeezed orange juice, too.
Around lunch time a coworker and I walked to
Whole Foods to replenish my raw food stash. When I got back I cut up a mango, and had some
flax krisps and a new raw
cheese I found today:
Organic Valley Wisconsin Raw Milk Cheese Jack-Style. I also had some
GT's Organic Raw Kombucha. This time I tried
Divine Grape, and it was actually very drinkable. Most of the other flavors I tried were not easy to drink at all so this was a great find.
Kombucha is supposed to be very healthy for you. It does have 20% of the important B vitamins per serving so that is good.
I ate some random food for dinner again tonight. I had a
Gopal's Carob-Quinoa Rawma Bar, some
Living Intentions Rosemary Garlic Pistachios & Almonds, and a couple
UliMana Hemp Nut Brownies. I also enjoyed a couple glasses of ice water and
agave nectar.

Finishing up the fourth week on a raw food diet...
Cereal and

Osawa Raw Soy Sauce. When I got back I snacked on a couple

cereal and
milk, and a bottle of

Raw Food Diet - Day Twenty-seven
Monday, July 27, 2009
Another Monday, another week of
raw foodism. It's a lot better than that might sound.
For breakfast I had
cereal and
milk, as well as a banana and a grapefruit! I guess I am starting off the week hungry.
Just before lunch I snacked on some almonds. We went with one of our coworkers and his 2 year old daughter to
Amici's. There isn't a lot on the menu for me so I just had some salad (romaine lettuce). When I got back to the office I had some chocolate treats, mainly
UliMana Goji Cherry Truffles.
For dinner I did some more random stuff. Before softball I had a banana and
pickle. When I got back I had
cereal and
milk with the usual fixings and washed it down with some delicious orange juice.

Raw Food Diet - Day Twenty-six
Sunday, July 26, 2009
I went back to
cereal and
milk this morning. I added 5 tbsp each of flax seeds, hemp seeds, and
goji berries.
For lunch I had the other half of yesterday's pineapple, a
fresh pickle, another
UliMana Hemp Nut Brownie, and half a Healing Springs Grape Kombucha (tea).
I had a light dinner tonight: the other half of the kombucha,
UliMana Hemp Nut Brownie, and some Rainbow Grocery raw berry trail mix.
My weight is still hovering around 12 lbs below when I started the diet.

Raw Food Diet - Day Twenty-five
Saturday, July 25, 2009
I have been struggling a bit when buying fresh fruit. Often it is not ripe when you buy it so you have to leave it out for a couple days. This attracts fruit flies. Then you have to make sure to eat it during the small window during which it is ripe. There is also the act of transporting it carefully from the store/market back to your house so that it does not get bruised or cut.
This morning before I left the house I ate about a third of a nectarine that I had purchased a few days prior because it had started to go bad and had a couple bruises. I also enjoyed a banana on the way to the
Noe Valley Farmers Market (with
Nola). While there I had a
Juicey Lucy's Ambrosia drink.
For lunch I snacked on a
fresh pickle, some
mulberries, and tried a
Sandhya's Ayurvedic Health Food Rejuvenation Ball. It was pretty good. Of course I washed it down with water and
agave nectar.
We had friends over for dinner (and Wii). I had some
Living Intentions Sun-Dried Marinara Almonds & Pistachios to snack on; they are so yummy and others agreed. I had
cheese and tomatoes, cut up and ate half a pineapple, and a couple kiwi fruit. I also enjoyed some fresh squeezed orange juice and then for dessert I tried a
UliMana Hemp Nut Brownies.
