Raw Food Diet - Day 26

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Today was pretty normal but certainly on the positive side. For the most part, I enjoyed following the raw diet today and had good energy. I spent most of the day working on my book, doing tons of editing. I didn’t feel like my mental endurance or creativity was any higher than usual, but it was [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 25

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Today was another positive day. I felt great overall.
I think the dry skin on my hands is getting better, albeit very gradually. Only two fingers on each hand still look pretty bad.
My appetite wasn’t as high this morning as it was yesterday morning, but I still ate more calories than usual.
I really wanted to eat something other [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 24

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Today was wonderful. I felt very energetic and alert the whole day with scattered bursts of low-level euphoria. The diet seemed much easier to follow, and I didn’t feel nearly as much resistance as I did during the past few days. I’m not completely in love with it, but at least I’m not hating it.
I did my [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 23

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Today was pretty good energy-wise. I feel mentally tired right now, but that’s probably because I put in some intensive work on my book today. No euphoria or heightened mental clarity today. In fact, the work seemed a little harder than it should have been. I had to tweak the wording endlessly to get it right.
I [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 22

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

Today was good physically, although my energy felt a little lower than usual. I haven’t had any special feelings of euphoria for a few days now. For the most part, I’m feeling about the same as I did before this trial, at least physically.
The psychological aspects of this diet seem to be going downhill. I’m [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 21

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Today was good energy-wise. I don’t seem to be having any more issues related to detox or adaptation. I feel at least as good as I did before this trial.
I was more motivated to eat fresh fruit today vs. yesterday, so it was better than just going through the motions. I especially enjoyed the watermelon [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 20

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Something very strange happened today. I was nearly out of produce, probably not even enough to last the rest of the day, so I definitely had to shop today. After a simple breakfast, Erin and the kids and I piled into the car to do our usual weekly shop. I turned the key to start the car and [...]

Suggestions for Future 30-Day Trials

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Logging a complete 30-day trial such as my current raw food trial tends to hijack the blog for a while, but people seem to get a lot of value from these logs even if they have no interest in pursuing it themselves. Time permitting I may do more public 30-day trials in the future. It’s one thing to discuss [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 19

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Today was wonderful. I had great energy throughout the day and found it easy to concentrate. I also had some spurts of euphoria. I included a lot more greens today as some people suggested, so that may have a beneficial effect. I feel fantastic right now.
Blood Sugar
I’ve been monitoring my blood sugar from time to time, [...]

Raw Food Diet - Day 18

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Today was another good day, although I wouldn’t say it was quite as good as the other days this week. Overall I felt pretty much normal today but not uber-fantastic.
I had a typical weight workout at the gym this morning. I notice the weight training workouts have become more taxing, but I’m using heavier weights than [...]
