Like my title says, I'm not 100% raw (yet), but this week I've been dabbling with increasing my raw foods. I've been pretty much focusing on eating 4 x per day (every 3hrs), and eating the raw foods mono. I have been eating some cooked foods.
So basically the week was like:
Mon - no schedule (just eating whatever I wanted, whenever)
Tue - 4 meals, each at least 50% raw (and the raw foods were mono, so an example would be 3 bananas and half a bar of chocolate)
Wed - 4 meals, again, 2 of them totally raw (and mono) and the other two at least 50% raw (and again, the raw part was mono)
Thu - I ate some raw foods, but it was mostly like Monday (mostly cooked and unscheduled).
Wow, I could fee such a huge difference yesterday. Felt totally sluggish. And I was noticing on Thursday morning (before eating anything) that my skin was looking better. Just couldn't believe how different (worse!) I felt when I ate mostly cooked foods again.
Interestingly, on Wednesday I felt that I would have been happy eating totally raw all day. I've no idea why I didn't - I think I like to test myself. But really, this week has been interesting to learn more about raw.
I'm going shopping in a bit to stock up on fresh fruit and veg for the weekend :D
