At first I accidentally titled this post as "Raw Food Die" which I find funny right now even though I've grown to love things like raw parsnips and ginger.
I do think I'm done being militant about the detox diet though. Here's what I will keep doing (a definite lifestyle change):
1. Eat fruit in the morning on an empty stomach.( I did this years ago after reading Fit For Life but didn't stick to it)
2. Keep making green lemonage (really good, green, kale-based drink)
3. Eat raw food throughout day with other stuff and eat raw until after lunch-maybe until dinner if I'm really good.
4. Eat a lot more fruit and vegetables than I did before.
I feel better, lighter but I got a cold-possibly because I compromised my immune system by putting my normally pig-appetite into shock with the new diet. Or maybe my cold would be worse if I hadn't gone on this, I don't know. All I know today is that I had chicken noodle soup and I felt better.
Also, as a family we will be purchasing little or no white flour-based grains, less sugar and less animal products-and eat more veggies-at every meal.
I need some good music now after just thinking about food for 10 days. So, this weekend we will be seeing the Rosebuds and Frightened Rabbit.
At our house The Rainbow Connection (and the Muppet Movie we borrowed from the library) has been on repeat. It really is a touching song and great movie. Aside from Kermit in the swamp, my favorite version of the song might be Debbie Harry and Kermit's duet. There are so many great covers of it though.
And our new tour dates have been posted. Hope to see you all when the snow melts!
