1st day raw

So i woke up with the intention of totally changing my way of eating. I weighed in at 182 lbs which is almost 10lbs more than i was wheni started this blog back in december. My eating has spiraled out of controlled once again, with a pattern of trying to low carb it and only making it through about 2 weeks. Years ago I had luck eating that way long term  but for the past 4 years it has been a total daily struggle so… something completely different.

I love fruits and can eat lots of fruit all day but haven’t let myself because of the sugar and the fact that I am so sugar addicted and lose control. Well, I don’t know anyone that got fat eating fruit!! So, I am reading about how you should eat fruit first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for proper digestion. It’s interesting. I want to learn about the right way to combine foods and how much fruig/veg/nuts/seeds i need to eat daily. i also love to eat salads, raw veg and nuts/seeds so really i think i can handle this.

I skipped breakfast so I could go to the library for Raw Food books then to produce store for some fruit/veg to eat! I felt full and happy all day yesterday, no headaches or anything, here is what i ate:

Lunch
2 bananas
2 red plums
1/4 pint blackberries
about a cup or more of cherries
1 liter water

snacks
2 more plums
green grapes
cherries

Dinner
romaine & onion salad w/olive oil & balsamic
water

snack
more of those awesome cherries
water

I had stuff on hand to make a smoothie but was so full I never managed!!

Plan for day 2: have the spinach smoothy for lunch to get some green leafies! start using fitday and drink lots of water!
