Red Cabbage Obsession
Ok, Ok, so last time I wrote I said that I would be doing the detox diet all this week. Let's just say I decided to cut it short. I did the two pre-detox days and felt so much better after them that I decided to just continue to eat a 100% raw diet for a week or two and cut out the fasting part. I haven't weighed myself in over a week but I do feel a lot lighter and more clear headed than I did last weekend.
I was rather hungry on my way home from work last night. When I got home, I actually found myself sitting in front of the tv eating a head of raw red cabbage. I am completely obsessed with red cabbage. I love it! It's great in salads, with hummus, with nori sheets, even by itself. I feel that I could survive off of red cabbage and water for months. No wonder my boyfriend, John, thinks I'm crazy. Just listen to me babbling on about cabbage. Haha.
This morning I enjoyed a small organic banana (which I usually only eat in a weekly banana and berry shake... I usually throw in whatever kind of berries I have around the house - blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries - you really can't go wrong with this smoothie. Throw the fruit into the Vitamix and enjoy. No need to use ice or any liquids) Then I cut up an organic apple and sprinkled flax seeds on top. Really easy to eat while sitting at my desk at work. For lunch, I had a spinach, red cabbage (tons of it), tomato, avocado, and carrot salad with lemon juice. (all organic, of course :) ) Typically, I eat half of it around 12:30 pm and the other half around 3 pm. So I still have half of it to enjoy in about an hour. It is amazing how easily extra weight comes off while eating 100% raw. The first place that I notice it is in my stomach... you can eat a lot and it practically disappears.

hi jebby, i actually jumped right into it one day. i felt better right away. i have been eating more cooked foods over the past year and have found that my head and brain just feel cloudy. I am more tired and just don't feel as good. Your comment on my post really got me thinking and is motivating me towards turning back to raw foods. It isn't easy but it is well worth it.
