So I know Mc Donald's Franken food goes against everything I am trying to do here, but I just saw a billboard for the McRib and got sad. I love the McRib. I know it doesn't have cheese but it is still fabulous. Maybe next year once this experiment is over I will get to enjoy it but as of now I am still sticking to my guns, or raw food if you will.
So if you have been keeping up with my posts you will have read that I bought a juicer and a dehydrator, two essential tools for this program. Well I lied. I had intended to buy a dehydrator from a woman on craigslist but when I went to her trailer park....she led me out to one of her many cars, rummaged around inside and produced an extremely dirty dehydrator. Literally there were leaves inside. So I politely said no and ran to my car. I tried several other people on craigslist but some of these people had dehydrators I swear were from the '50s. So I broke down this morning and bought a square one from Walmart.com for $60. I wanted a square one because a lot of recipes seem to work better with them and you don't need to move around the trays. Also this one has a thermostat you control which is SUPER!
So, today I have had a smoothie and various nuts and veggies. Still not made anything but I did make another trip to the organic grocer. I got some dried mango. I probably won't buy this again once I have my own machine since I have no idea how high of heat they were dehydrated at, but I wanted it alright! Also I bought a coconut and tonight or tomorrow I am going to attempt coconut bacon. Sounds wierd but tasty.
My migraine raged into the night. I really think I did not eat nearly enough yesterday. Oh and today I started a 7 day cleanse. The Food Matters video said that if you change to this life style all the toxins you have in your system should be flushed out through your bowels. Well I am not impressed with this cleanse yet. What I assume is the fiber mixer just clumps in water. I was gagging. Not pleasant.
Now I am going to go and make a gigantic salad that my dog is going to beg me for. I am also really tired. However, I woke up really early today ready to start the world. Conflicting I know. There is something I am a little confused about, should I take vitamins while I cleanse? I take the green stuff in my smoothy but I don't know if I am over doing it. I think I will take some tonight with dinner. Good night raw foodies.
This site is for those of us who are thinking of changing to a raw food diet. This is a place to find recipes, share stories and explain the ups and downs of the raw life.
