Sorry - Im a newbie and have a few questions. Ive been searcing all morning but I have a 3 yr old that is craving my attention so I was hoping for a cliff notes version on some questions for now
I live on Long Island NY. Whole Foods is the only organic supermarket we have (VERY EXPENSIVE!). Where do you shop and more important what are major essentials. I was reading about sea salt, agave (sp), amino acid powders(?) etc.... I am going raw as a trial to see if I can do it. Im on day 3 and so far this is what Ive eaten the last 2 days
B - grapefruit and a plum or clerey stalks
L - chopped onion, celrey, cucumber, pepper, carrot and lime juice. 2 apples for dessert
s - something blended strawberry or blueberry with ice and water. no sweetener (not as yummy as it could be but it was ok) and a extra piece of fruit like a clemetine
D - same as lunch but add a half of avacado
D - 2 or 3 apples
I have not lost any weight yet but its only 2 days ;) I can see family functions being a small issue and eating out being an obstacle. Is it possible to be mostly RAW and Cheat "healthy" sometimes? Also I am a bit bored with what Im eating and will definitely be trying some of the recipes you all posted and Im getting Alyssas book for more ideas. My last question is weigh/hypothroid related. I have always been a healthy eater and consider myself maybe 10 lbs too chubby but am only chubby by Hollywood (and my own) standards. Since I do not have a lot of weight to drop and have hypothyroid issues do you think I am eating too much food or too much fruit? I was told fruit turns to sugar a fat if its not burned off. I do work out but have very painful chronic back issues and some weeks I cant even get out of bed.
Anyway - thanks for listening to a newbie ramble. I appreciate any advice you guys have :)
