Advantages I've noticed being raw for only a couple days

[twinyoga]

Here's a few things I've observed in the few days I've been completely raw.

1. Grocery shopping is much easier. I only go down two or three aisles. They include the bulk section (nuts, seeds, oats, grains); the aisle with honey and seasonings; and the produce section. I was in and out of the grocery store in less than 20 minutes.

2. I didn't spend nearly as much as I thought I would. I hope this continues. I'm not buying all organic, though. What I am doing is going to one grocery store for the bulk items and a farmers market for the produce.

3. Less dishes and cooking time! I made two soups, a salad, and cookies yesterday in less time than preparing a full cooked meal. My only dishes were a couple bowls, a blender, knife, and a cutting board.

For some reason I'm still hestitant about staying raw, but now that I made it 100% today, I will do the same tomorrow.

Yay, Debbie! Good for you. :) All those things and more will start to become clearer to you. Pretty soon you'll be feeling so good you'll wonder how anything else could possibly matter. I'm starting my 30-day raw challenge today after a few weeks on a downward cooked spiral, so I can hardly wait to start experiencing these benefits again!

Yes! I just use one section of the super sized food store (veggies and fruit) and I marvel how the bulk of the store (95%) is just junk!. Don't think I ever noticed that before going raw. What a waste of space!
I've also enjoyed how easy the prep is and the clean up. One less thing to do.
Going raw is a huge committment towards your body and your health. It's a step by step process - but you did one day at 100% That's great!. Once you get used to the change (the new routine), it gets easier.
