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.

The Two Day Juice Fast/Detox Is Over

We just finished the last of our 5 juices for day 2 of our juice fast. We can report that we both had minor headaches- me both days and Pam mainly the second day. The weird thing is that we have not been hungry even though the total calorie count for both of us for the 2 days is 3200 calories. So much for side affects.
The juicer worked like a champ. The hardest thing to work through the machine is spinach. It wants to cause a log jam - especially when I try to do it too fast. Only the afternoon snack juice was less than great. It needed some Tabasco to spice it up and we didn't bring any - Bad Bad, Bad.
We are really looking forward to fresh fruit for breakfast and we have some carrots and cukes cut up for the drive back from the ocean tomorrow. Next weigh in on Monday....
