Day 2

The first day went well. I abstained from food at a Christmas party that I went to in favor of my hummus salad waiting for me at home. Shocked at my resolve. I was also surprised by how I haven't really been hungry. I nibble on the meals here and there, but I haven't finished a whole meal yet. Not only does this mean I have old meals to munch on, but I think that the food is more satisfying.

I do have to say that there is a lot of chewing involved in raw eating. Broccoli is the best, since it gets soft in the various sauces and dressings, and soaks up the flavors. It's a sponge of flavor.

The best part of the raw food thing is avocados. I don't think I could eat enough avocados. I made a huge bowl full of guacamole, heavy on the fresh lime juice. Delicious. I followed it up with a dessert of a grapefruit, which was it's own delight.

I am feeling a little congested, which they said could happen in the first week or so as your body rids itself of toxins and preservatives. Other than that I feel pretty clear headed, and I have way more energy than I thought I would. I was a little tired yesterday which could definitely have to do with kicking the caffeine habit.

The biggest craving I've had so far? Lasagna. Mmmmm... Also, the green soup they gave me for my breakfasts is not going to happen. Ew. (The picture is the hummus salad)
