Round Two: A New, Thoughtful Way of Eating


As you know, yesterday was my first day off as a raw foodist. Since my 30 days of raw have been met, I'm turning the page to prove to myself that I can carefully integrate a few cooked things along the way and still avoid medication and stomachaches. The pics above are a quick snapshot version of my intake for yesterday.

Starting out with something cooked was important to me. Having craved eggs and toast since day one of thirty, I thought that was a perfect place to begin. It was delightful. My rye toast was dry and the egg had salt and pepper on it. No stomachache, so eggs and toast will remain as a staple on my permanent menu.

For lunch, it was slightly more difficult to decide what I wanted. I finally settled on a green drink and some meat for my protein. Did that ever hit the spot. Still no stomachache. I was thrilled.

Dinner was served at Lupe's, our favorite Mexican restaurant. I ordered a meatless tostada without sour cream, meat, or rice. Instead, I had beans in my tostada. At this point, it became a religious experience. Choirs of angels surrounded my tastebuds. It was definitely out of this world! I washed that down with a few glasses of water followed by another couple of glasses of water later in the evening. Still no stomach issues. Amazing! I went to bed with a smile on my face and thrilled to be thinking in a healthier direction.

P.S. My blood glucose numbers stayed in a healthy range all day long. My lowest number for the day registered at 84.
