High Raw Food Diet Challenge - Day 1

I am in the process of positive change


It was a sunny day today, which made beginning a high raw diet easier.


Before I slept last night I shuffled through some old affirmation cards and found myself the affirmation above. Affirmations and inspirational quotes can be a fun way to keep yourself on track. They're a useful reminder of your goals. It can be hard to start eating a high raw diet, but I found this morning easy when I kept this affirmation in mind. I'm planning to choose one each night to sleep on for the following day.


The other way I made it a little easier for myself this morning was I had about a litre of green smoothie already made up in the fridge and ready to go. After a large glass of the kale, apricot, spirulina and banana mix I started to power up. I added a teaspoon of cacao to the rest, seeings as I'm attempting to give up my coffee habit too. (Did you know apples are better for perking you up anyway?) For breakfast I chopped up 2 apples, a pear and a kiwifruit - easy.


Lunch was a chunky vegetable salad of broccoli, red capsicum, purple cabbage, baby spinach, carrot, avocado and lemon juice, along with the rest of the kale smoothie. For an afternoon snack I ate some brazil nuts and an avocado with chilli sauce. Dinner was a spinach and sunflower seed salad with garlic dressing, a slice of multigrain bread and a chickpea veggie-burger.


Although the day had started off well, things started going pear-shaped around midday. I'd forgotten about having to eat more when eating high raw in order to keep up my energy levels. I felt calm, but very tired. I ended up going to bed early.


Often when people feel urged to take better control of their health it's because messages are accumulating from the universe. Then there's a final trigger that gets you really moving; a health scare, a change of season or even the thought of the summer bikini. For me the trigger was a bout of disgusting motion sickness on top of a dragging cold. I haven't felt so unwell since I was pregnant, but I couldn't help thinking I kind of deserved it. I've been making increasingly poor food choices over Winter, and it's all caught up with me. I'm sure I'll have to endure a week or so of detoxification before raw food health kicks in again.


A side-effect mentioned by many raw foodists is that purifying your body with a raw food diet will fine-tune your sensitivity. When you're removed from the security and complacency of your food coma, you may realise that your life requires some significant changes.

Choosing a kindergarten for your child, every parent would prefer professional educators, comfortable conditions for the child and the possibility of obtaining useful knowledge and skills. One type of information dissemination are stands for kindergarten http://stend1.com/. Information on the stands is often very instructive and calls for any positive action, or, on the contrary blamed for the negative actions and warning of the consequences of negative behavior for the whole child, and for the people around him; it makes sense to stand placed on the walls of the kindergarten - teaching the child the game way, because a small child who can not yet be able to read the information available in the form of pictures, which with the help of tutors will be able to stay in the memory of the child and to form in the mind.
