Wikipedia explains it as: "Raw foodism (or rawism) is a diet consisting of uncooked, unprocessed, and often organic foods or wild foods.
Depending on the type of lifestyle and results desired, raw food diets may include a selection of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds (including sprouted whole grains such as gaba rice), eggs, fish (such as sashimi), meat (such as carpaccio), and non-pasteurized/non-homogenized dairy products (such as raw milk, raw milk cheese, and raw milk yogurt).[1]"
I looked into it and decided to do it. I got my Aunt and another friend on board to do it with me and we were going to start on the 29th but after getting back from Puerto Vallarta I decided that I needed to start sooner. We decided to do our best but not be hardcore about it. So I went to Aldi and stocked up on fruits and vegetables.
I spent $14 and got:
- 2 Avocados
- 1 Bag Romaine Lettuce
- 1 Bag Green Beans
- 1 Bag Baby Carrots
- 1 Bag Celery
- 3 Green Peppers
- 3 Colored Peppers
- 6 Kiwis
- 6 Bananas
- 1 Baby Watermelon
- 1 1/2 cup black coffee (coffee is on the "no" list, but it was less than my normal intake)
- 1 Serving Green Juice (It's a premade juice smoothie that contains 2 2/3 apples, 1/2 banana, 1/3 kiwi, 1/3 mango, 1300 mg spirlina, 400mg chlorella, 100mg broccoli, 100mg spinach, 50mg blue green algae, 50mg garlic, 75mg barley grass, 75mg wheat grass, 50mg ginger, and 50mg parsley)
- 1 Apple
- 2 Cups Watermelon
- 1/2 Lunch Salad (I made it myself and it contains 1 Head Romaine Lettuce, 1 Celery Stalk, 1/3 Cucumber, 1/2 Red Pepper, and 1 Cup Green Beans) I had some Blue Cheese that was going to expire soon so I added that, but it is on the "no" list. I did not like the raw green beans.
- Dinner was a little bit of cheating: 1 Grilled Chicken Breast, 1/4 Green Pepper, 1/4 Red Pepper, and 1 1/2 Cups Romaine Lettuce with about 1 Tablespoon of Berry Vinigarette Dressing (the dresssing look ok for the majority of it). I was still hungry so I had a Banana afterwards.
