So this morning I woke up wondering if all the food I'm
having in these past few days affected my
weight, well I was extremely happy to report that my weight
didn't change a bit, I almost cried. I'm following this raw food diet and I eat a lot, and when I say a lot for me means that the binge
eater that is in me, is super happy
on how things are going here. I feel really happy in the morning having my huge bowl of fruits; it leaves me happy till lunch time without any
issue. Then for lunch, again I have
a super-giant
salad with anything I want in it – same thing for my dinner. I cannot be happier than that
and it's amazing to see how raw food finds
its way through the digestive system so easily and quick. I have 3 times a day bowel movements, I cannot ask
for more than that really.
This morning my breakfast
was a big bowl of fruits with a cup
of strawberries, 3 cups of papaya, 1 apple, 1 mango, 3 dates and a tbsp of shredded coconut to give some
colour. It took me more than half hour to eat it all! For lunch I prepared something even bigger than my breakfast, already
excited thinking about it. Yes, because yesterday I used my new spiralizer to cut my veggies and also my
apple, it works wonderfully and it's
so easy to use and clean really, actually it saves me some time in the cutting vegetables
process. So my salad will be: tons of zucchini noodles and cucumber noodles
with some diced tomatoes, spinach and lettuce. For the sauce I created my own
pesto version with basil, shelled
hemp seeds, lemon, a tsp of coconut
oil and a clove of garlic – all raw.
I can't wait to taste my new recipe, but not now though I'm so full of my fruit salad that I can't even move…and I'm
already in the office!
Yesterday evening I went with a friend to one of those vegan restaurants, he knows I'm always
dealing with food concerns so that was not a big deal for him, in any case it
turns out really well for him too, he enjoyed the meal. Initially I thought
that I could not trust a restaurant 100%
when it comes to eating fully raw,
but I wanted to give it a try since this vegan
restaurant is very well-known in
the city anyway. Everything was good, I had a big salad with everything in eat and some peanuts on top with a raw
tahini sauce with it; it was
really delicious especially the peanuts of course, it gave the salad an amazing
flavour. For this reason I'm thinking to buy some raw cashews this weekend, pass them into my food processor and keep
it as salad topping or for here and there maybe for other meals too. I thought
I would see my weight creeping up this morning for the huge salad and the peanuts but life is good and my body appreciated the meal as I did.
Another thing that I want to try is the reduced fat raw peanut butter; I got this idea from a video I
watched yesterday on YouTube. So basically I have my peanuts powder with no sugar added or anything is just 100% peanuts, not organic though, I
cannot find this type of product organic yet. Anyhow, with the powder the fat content is reduced up to 90% so that's a good news for me that
I'm trying to eat low fat at the
moment, so to eat it I will just add water
to the powder until I reach the consistency that I like and it will become like
regular peanut butter but without the
fats. It is clever in my opinion
for who wants to indulge in this type
of sweet without the guilt; obviously
everything should be eaten in moderation,
that's me that I just had a huge fruit bowl saying it, no kidding!
