One couple's story of a one month raw food diet.

We have apparantly seen too many documentaries on the evils of processed foods and the health benefits of a diet that is "closer to the ground." This adventure will include a two day juice "fast" and January 2011 we will eat only raw foods. This is a little scary for us as red wine and chocolate are not on the diet. Even air-poppped popcorn isn't.

Our goals include more energy, better health and weight loss. We will do our best to document what we do eat and what changes we see in our health.

Please comment if you want more information than we post so we can share what we can.

Sludge: Part II

So sludge isn't something you have to develop a taste for. It sucks every time you drink it. Wah Wah Wah. Okay I'm all done feeling sorry for myself.

Today was another easy day - sludge not withstanding- on this little adventure. I am happy to say that Pam has passed me on the weight loss progress. She has now lost 10 pounds and I'm still stuck on 9. From where we really began about a year ago I still have her though as I have lost 61 pounds and she has lost 32. If you add those up it's a 6th or 7th grader. For the first year all we really did was eat better and exercise more.

For dinner tonight we made a basil and spinach pesto and tossed it on julienned zucchini "pasta" along with some broccoli salad. I would serve either of those to guests. They were both very good.

We still have another glass of sludge later, but that will end day 24 on this adventure. Six more days to go! For those of you wondering, the bottle of organic wine remains unopened. We were able to find a raw chocolate bar, but it was very nasty. Anyone want the rest?
