Uncooking Adventures

It is 1 in the morning, I should be sleeping, but I have all this energy from a new food lifestyle. Anyone reading this who knows us, knows we have been vegetarian/vegan for quite a few years. I have wanted to do raw food since 2003, but have been too intimidated to take it beyond enjoying gourmet raw at raw restaurants. We have, of course, have had lots of raw included in our diet by way of salads, guac, etc. This takes it to a whole new level! We finally took the plunge a few weeks ago to give it a go. What a success for me! Devin will be doing 80-90% raw, but needs the extra umph of some cooked foods. I am feeling great again. It is just what my body was begging for. I am now entering a 21 day cleanse, which I will follow with a repeat of the 28 day transition. I don't know why I was so intimidated, it has really been easy with the help of this program, www.thegardendiet.com. My body is alkaline, which means less inflamation. My clothes fit and my skin is glowing. I am stronger than before. I know I probably look better with a few extra lbs, but I sure do NOT like the way I feel. I will keep you posted as to the progress. In the meantime, I am finally interested and having fun again with cooking, er, um, rather NOT cooking.
