Day 10 – Raw Diet

June 11, 2009

Today was probably my best day so far.  My physical and mental states all seemed much more balanced.  Gastric wise, still doing better (not 100%, but acceptable for this stage), and my energy is great.  I probably had the most energy on a more consistent basis as any day so far.  I came home super [...]

Day 9 – Raw Diet

June 10, 2009

Okay, so today was my first day where I was fairly comfortable.  Energy was good, gastric issues were mostly all resolved, and my meals were simple.  I continued to eat my greens in the form of smoothies and juices, and I ate some fruits as snacks throughout the day.  I think I will continue my [...]

Day 7 & 8 – Raw Diet

June 9, 2009

So the raw diet has been a more daunting challenge then I had anticipated.  The attack has come from several sides.  Both from the mental battles and cravings angle, to the physical struggles with my gastric system.  I am not ready to give up, I have not tried everything yet by any means, but it [...]

Day 6 – Raw Diet

June 7, 2009

Day 6 of my raw diet challenge, and this was probably my highest cravings day yet.  Had a good workout in the morning, and that tends to drive my appetite up along with my cravings.  Today I really wanted something with meat involved, even things I do not eat normally.  Later in the day I [...]

Day 5 – Raw Diet

June 6, 2009

Wow, five days have come and gone, seems like it has flown by.  The raw diet 30 day challenge is going well, still a few bumps, but I think it is getting ever so slightly better each day.
Instead of meditating this morning for my Level Up challenge, I ended up doing some stretching and yoga [...]

Day 4 – Raw Diet

June 5, 2009

Well, I have to say, all in all I am not feeling too bad on my raw diet challenge.  Actually, I feel downright good, especially for the little food I have eaten this week.  My energy is good, and outside of some passing pain my back, I am already feeling better physically then I would [...]

Day 3 – Raw Diet

June 4, 2009

Well I am now wrapping up the third day of my raw diet challenge.
Things are going much better then yesterday.  I slept very well, and more then usual.  I had a very vivid dream this morning, although it was not about anything spectacular……instead of vivid images of flying over some lush forest, I had some [...]

Day 2 – Raw Diet

June 3, 2009

Well, its official, I am now in full body change mode.  Still on board and moving forward with 100% raw diet, this is where the willpower is tested.
I would call it detox, but I am not 100% sure of that, so will just say that my body is in transition to a new food/energy source.  [...]

Day 1 – Raw Diet

June 2, 2009

So in combination with my Level Up challenge, I am running my 100% Raw food diet.  Due to the complexity of my tracking for this, I am going to have a seperate post on my progress within the Raw diet portion of my Level Up 30 day challenge.
Today was day one of my raw food [...]

A large component of my upcoming Level Up Challenge is going to be going 100% raw.  I am going vegan, so no raw milk, fish or other meats included.  Just vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruit, all in raw form.
Current food lifestyle
I eat a fairly natural diet currently, with almost no pre-processed items at all, I [...]
