Hello my friends,
I've been transitioning to a Raw lifestyle over the past few weeks, and am currently eating 75% Raw, which I'm quite happy to stay at for the next month or so (some of the detox symptoms have been very unpleasent to say the least haha).
Anyways, after several weeks of lurking, I just wanted to give you a look at my general diet, and perhaps receive some feedback, especially as to where I can improve.
BREAKFAST
60g of Organic raw oat groats
50g organic almonds
2 organic medjool dates
1 handful of organic blueberries
(all blended to make a wonderful porridge)
LUNCH
Quorn chicken sandwich (1 pack of quorn chicken slices on
2 slices of organic wholemeal bread, with pease pudding)
1 organic cucumber
40g organic cashew nuts
MID-AFTERNOON
Green Shake:
100g spinach
2 organic bananas
1 organic apple
1 organic mango
1 heaped tablespoon organic raw mesquite powder
EVENING:
Half of a honeydew melon
Juice drink:
200g Kale
5 carrots (organic)
2 tomatoes (organic)
1 lemon (organic)
1 apple (organic)
2 inch piece of organic ginger
I've read a lot regarding insulin resistance due to a high fat intake when consuming high sugar, so I would also appreciate any comments on how my current diet fares with that.
Thankyou in advance for your help. I am truly grateful to have found this site, and to have the opportunity to learn.
Peace and Blessings,
Craig
EDIT: Just to inform you that I exercise 6 days a week for an hour at a time, doing mainly resistance training (bodyweight exercises).
