Raw for 7 days (day 2: 3/21/10)

Went to bed late, so was feeling tired, but this food is refreshing and I just feel so much better eating it instead of some of the processed junk I'm used to. Not that what I eat is all horrible, mind you: I don't eat fast food (save for the occasional French fry or the like), I don't eat bread (save for rice bread or any offered gluten-free alternative), I eat no animal products (*sometimes*, like once a year, I allow onion rings! They have gluten, too, so this is very bad!), and I don't consume much processed sugar. I think I consume enough processed foods, like corn chips, to warrant an overhaul, at least temporarily. For much of the colder months, I was craving more cooked, rich foods, and though I still ate some raw fruits and veg, a lot of what I was consuming was processed, cooked, or both. I could feel the unhealthiness of many of the things I ate. So now I'm focusing on feeling the healthiness!

I think today I'm feeling a little hungrier than normal, but I'm not glutting myself, so I am OK with that for now.

Here's what I had:

1/2 cup combo of frozen pomegranate seeds and wild blueberries
handful raw almonds
1/2 grapefruit

"Cherry Pie" Larabar

organic Fuji apple (small)

2 "Rawcos" (see entry for 3/20)

2 oz. GoRaw "spicy flax snax"

large tossed "Caesar" salad:
-organic Romaine lettuce
-avocado dressing (avocado, water, lemon juice, olive oil, flax oil, pink salt, black pepper, cayenne)
-Brazil nut parmesan (Brazil nuts, garlic, pink salt)
-Lydia's Organics green crackers (as croutons)
-organic mixed tomatoes

(The salad was a slight variation, though it mostly adhered to a recipe. It was absolutely heavenly! I thought about adding avocado slices, though since the dressing has a lot of avocado already, I am actually very glad I didn't. This was a simple, delicious meal to make, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.)
