Be ready to pay for your indiscretions against your raw food diet! But also learn a little more about yourself and your ideal dietary needs

Well I made it to my destination without a hiccup and even blended my week’s worth of green drinks when I arrived, but there are just those weak moments that catch you off guard.

To top it off there were many of my old favorite restaurants and foods that were just whispering in my ears, telling me one meal wont hurt, eat me, eat me …EAT ME!!!

So I caved a few times, although during the day I was able to stick to my raw green drinks. Part of me also had a curiosity about what would happen if I ate some of these foods again after 3wks plus of my raw food lifestyle.

Well, I am happy to say that I have proven to myself that Raw Food as a lifestyle is definitely what I am going to strive to maintain. I realized that every time I ate something that was not living I paid for it dearly. I can honestly say I have never felt things like I experienced in my body like I did that week. I have never been so utterly aware of my digestion. That is a good thing, but it felt like something was in my belly playing twister! I could picture every moment of the digestion and how hard it had to work to get through my little meals that were off plan.

This was very different than eating off plan on a fad diet. This was an awareness to my body, what it needs, what it wants and what it has to do when I am not taking care of it properly.

I was able to distinguish between specific foods which gave me some more insight into my own personal optimum diet. Dairy, to my surprise, did not bother me as much as other things. Gluten in any teeny tiny amount was killer!!! I could feel it start within minutes of eating anything with gluten.

So currently as I am scrambling to unpack, and get back on my rhythm I am trying to regain my happy go lucky digestion too! As soon as we arrived home my sweet daughter picked me the most amazing raw salad and we had a wonderful Summer Solstice Celebration.

You better believe when we wrote out the things we are releasing from the first half of the year I added any non raw food habits and cravings. I am letting them go and letting my self be free of them for good! Once you experience a pure and clean digestion and you feel the awesome benefits, you can’t help but start craving that instead!

Until next time…
