Today is my 4th day 100% raw and I am wondering if loosing weight to fast is an issue.
I started on monday with the 100% raw (have been raw until dinner for a little more than a year prior,m witha few goof ups) and on tuesday I weighed myself to have a baseline..153.9 lbs, right out of bed, naked weight.
Today I weighed myself and I am at 149.8 lbs, right out of bed, naked....that is a lot of weight in just two days, no?
I should mention that I am 6' tall, so weight really isn't something I have to get off, but would like to get a few pudge areas taken care of..
I usually work out fairly hard, but have stayed away from the gym this week, as I tend to get ravenous when I work out hard and I didn't want to set myself up to fail. I will go to the gym today though..
Do you think I have lost muscle or just plain weight? I'd hate to loose muscle, since it is so hard for me to gain it, being tall and slender...even when I was on a higher, "more according to regular folks normal muscle" protein diet..
Diet is fruit or green smoothies until lunch time, then big salad, spinach usually with 1/2 of a avocado and other veggies, snack on almonds, only an ounce, more fruit if hungry until dinner, dinner is salad again or zucchinipasta with raw marinara sauce (yumm-o)..so far.
I know I need to change my diet up but I am doing it slow to learn the right way..excalibur is coming tomorrow, I have read almost the whole book by Alissa..few more recipes to look through..
Any thoughts, ideas or what have you would be appreciated..
