Jon and I are on our second day now of our 10 day raw food cleanse. I was going to do the cleanse by myself, as I wanted to see how I would feel. But when I told Jon about it, he said he wanted to join me. We are not intending to become raw foodists, but rather just wanted to experience it for ourselves. Probably sometime around day 8 or 9 we will talk about how we want to eat moving forward. But for now, we fasted (water only) for the first 24 hours, and then only raw fruits and vegetables for the next 9 days.
The first day (fasting) I'll admit was brutal. By 5 pm I had a raging headache. I still feel a little head achy, but considerably better. Tonight I am going out to join the other homeschool moms for social get together at a restaurant. I will bring a green smoothie with me.
Today I logged onto www.fitday.com, a free service that counts your calories, fat, carbs and protein. I hadn't intended to count any of that, but it is interesting.
On the whole this is the easy way to eat ever. No cooking. Just peel (or not) and eat. Sometimes I blend up a few fruits and some greens (kale, spinach, romaine) for a green smoothie. Way yummy!
