Day 6

I can't believe it's only been 6 days.  Raw seems a lot easier this year.  I don't know why.  It almost seems like last year was my practice run at it and now I'm doing it for real. 

How does raw feel?  I'm sure for each person it is different, so I'll tell you how I feel on a raw diet. 

Hungry?  Sometimes... especially at the beginning.  I was really hungry day the first few days.  My body was most likely cleansing out the carbs and alcohol I had been giving it.  Now, I'm not as hungry.  Today I made a huge bowl of sprouts, avocado, tomatoes and topped it with my not tuna pate and red pepper hummus.  I feel full.  I also have made myself drink more water!

Energy?  Heck yes!  I have a lot more energy and a sort of mental clarity.  I almost feel more creative on this diet.  Or maybe more able to accomplish tasks.

Sleep?  I wondered if I'd sleep better on this diet.  I don't know yet.  This is yet to be determined due to some late nights at the bakery and friends visiting....  I'll try to remember to get back to you on this.

Overall?  I think raw is going well.  I thank the Goddess that I have a dishwasher to get me through.  I wouldn't be juicing every morning otherwise.  The food processor and blendtec are a godsend.  I'm hoping to fuel up the dehydrator soon! 

So far -3lb/this will be day 5 at the gym!
