So a week after the 30 Raw days ended I am pleased to announce that neither of us gained weight so the results have proven sustainable, but neither of us lost weight this week either so more work is necessary. There were no ill effects of going back to a diet with cooked foods and some animal protein. We continue to juice once a day during the week, and are considering going to 2 juices for a while to try to kick start some more weight loss.
After close examination we found that Costco also carries cucumbers and tomatoes that are certified pesticide free, which isn't as good as organic but certainly less scary than the normal produce with a lovely coating of toxic crap.
I replaced the plastic sheeting on the greenhouse with polycarbonate sheets and we are gearing up to plant our garden. We have always used organic fertilizers and now we will be more careful than ever to produce the cleanest produce we can. We will likely join a CSA (community supported agriculture) which will give us a share of their organic crops. There are three notable options for this type of buying. Terry's Berries http://terrysberries.com/Join_our_CSA.html , Spud http://www.spud.com/about/whatsnew.cfm?msg=0#Logme , and Terra Organics http://terra-organics.com/ . Check them out. This is a great way to support Local organic growers.
More soon.....
