Pretty by Nature

Raw Food Detox:Update

by Noel Boehm on March 16th, 2008

So after only a few days in, I have abandoned the raw cause. I just like cooked food too much. I can really see the benefit and I did have some yummy raw meals that I fully plan to make again, but I just can’t see doing it every day for every meal. But…but I have been able to stick to a mostly vegan diet, if not raw. It’s been surprisingly uncomplicated. I made the vegan lasagna we talked about the other day last night for dinner that was mouth wateringly delicious, if I may toot my own horn, and was so filling. It wasn’t raw but I used most of the recipe from gone raw but warmed it up. I have been sworn to never say the words “cashew cheese” again however. So I will just say that it contained raw cashews that were blended in a way that resembled a ricotta-like cheese in texture and creaminess. I used thin slices of zucchini instead of noodles and the filling was a mixture of mushrooms, carrots and yellow peppers.

Do I look better after a few days of eating better? Maybe. Or it could be that I just brushed my hair but I definitely FEEL better. I have more energy and I feel lighter. So when you feel better on the inside and are properly nourished and hydrated, how could you not look better? So going forth, I have pledged to eat a primarily vegan diet with some raw mixed in. However, if I feel like eating a little crap , I will occasionally. Although I suspect that the further I get into this, the less I will feel like eating crap. What do you think? For me it’s a more attainable goal and after seeing how I feel after just a few days, I am on a high. I am addicted to feeling good now. By the way the hubs is embracing it after lots of bellyaching and snide remarks. I had him at cashew cheese.
