I'm doing a 30 day 100% RAW food challenge, and posting my food intake here to make myself accountable. I'm tired of low carb, 3 meals a day.

RULES:

- I ONLY eat when I'm hungry. Let my body tell me when it's time to eat.

- Consume raw fruits and vegetables only

- I make and drink a half-gallon container of orange/celery/apple juice per day

- Exercise every other day for 30 minutes

- Weigh and post in this thread every day

DON'TS:

- Don't count calories

- Don't count carbs

DATES: July 16 - August 16

WHY AM I DOING THIS

Some diets I see are frightening. 100% processed food? Where's your nutrition coming from. If one person adds a banana or strawberry into their diet today, then my job here is done. I'm simply going extreme, because I love fruits and veggies!

WHERE DOES MY Protein COME FROM

Column 4 is protein:

Blended smoothie:

Celery/carrot/orange juice:

Have u heard of E3 live? It's super good for you. I used to drink a lil bit in the morning. You only need a lil bit. Especially when u are raw cuz u absorb everything really well. As for the Protein you're getting, that is also absorbed really well. R u still taking all the Vitamins and whatnot? I am looking very forward to going back to raw after getting sleeved. I am tempted to do it now but after losing so much and then gaining it all back, I really need the sleeve as a tool to keep me on track.

What do u plan to do after the 30 days? U are gonna feel like crapola once you start eating other things

Anyhow, so glad to hear your success!

taking all the Vitamins and whatnot?

What do u plan to do after the 30 days?

I'll checkout E3, thanks! I still take 7 different vitamins. After 30 days, I'm adding fish, and sticking with this for at least a year.

You drink 12 cups of celery juice a day?

Lol, you don't have to be a smart ass about it!

Perhaps you need a burger!

Have you thought about tofu? I know you want "raw" but some on a raw diet make that concession.. Silken tofu goes nicely in a smoothie. But also after you finish your 30 days tofu is a a great add in to your diet.

I am hearing most soy (tofu) is processed from GMO soy Beans which is causing many serious health problems in people. I advise to stay away from anything processed and in a package :-)

I only shop in the produce section in the grocery store. Very easy and cheap and very healthy.

They sell chocolate dip for bananas in the produce section....

Oh and there are plenty of tofu brands that are non GMO...

EEEK! I need to know where you are shopping. My kids want those darn 4.99/pd cherries and grapes. I feed them pringles instead. Cheaper. JK!

It's how I roll.

I was vegan when I did raw but wld love to add raw milk next time around. Sooooo fricken yummy!

I don't know where u love but I used to live near Santa Monica and they have a few raw restaurants. If you're ever there, u must try planet raw or euphoria loves rawvolution. Heaven!

Mmmmm!!! yes You re so right about the raw milk. I make sure to have a tall glass of Raw milk daily that I get from a local farm. They also have non-soy, non-GMO fed free range eggs. I eat 2 raw yolks daily. Yummy! I have only recently included milk and egg Proteins, because I am trying to recover from major plastic surgery. E
