Going Raw

So I just turned 31 today, and over the past few months I have had this feeling of unhealthiness. Yes, many of you reading this may say..."So what, you're getting old, you're supposed to feel unhealthy, it's natural."

Well, over the past 31 years, I have probably been one of the "unhealthiest" eaters I know. Burgers and fries, chicken nuggets, Wendy's, fast food, take-out Chinese have been the staple of my diet. I have actually never considered those unhealthy for me, and since I am a big believer in mind over matter - I think, unlike my friends it never really affected me. I never had the over stuffed or sedating effects that the star of "SuperSize Me" claimed to feel. However a close family member just recently - and quite suddenly - began eating raw vegan foods - and anyone who has tried to cook for two can attest to how hard that is - well cooking for one is even harder. So as a result I have been eating a lot of what he eats which believe it or not is not just salads. There are a lot of "prepared" foods - prepared meaning dehydrated - and believe it or not, I think I am going to begin eating raw as well. It is still an intellectual notion in my head of..."but what about my monthly cravings?" Well to be quite honest, at this point, whenever I think about a burger my body revolts. It literally is this nauseating reaction to cooked food.


I don't know how I got to this point but I'm here. So after doing what is called the Lemonade Diet or the Master Cleanse to start my "body on a clean slate" I think raw food is how I will go.

Stay tuned on how it goes.....
