Today was the 1st day of another 30 day raw food challenge with a group I started 2 years ago on Facebook. It is a very nice support group with lots of recipe ides for the challenge. Here is a link to the group if you would like to join us. 30 Day Raw Food Challenge-
I came home from vacation last week and feel like a cleanse is in order. Raw foods help me to overcome junk food cravings, increase my energy and get that inner glow happening =).
When I have been sharing to people about needing to cleanse from my vacation and letting them know how horribly I have ate, their first question is if I wasn't eating vegan. No, I was eating vegan, but you can be vegan and eat horribly. Fried foods, sweets...etc.. I have to let you know that I loved every bite of it! We ate at some amazing vegan places....but still, it's no way to sustain a livet. A vegan can eat french fries and soda as regular mainstays in their diet, and they will not be healthy- SURPRISE ;).
No matter how or what you eat, the focus should be to eat a "Livet". Clean eating: organic, unprocessed food as it comes from nature. So my goal for the next 30 days is to get back on track. Don't get down on yourself, just make it right, one step at a time. If soda is your vice...cut back. If you eat meat for every meal, everyday, try cutting it out once a week. Find ways to make small adjustments that will lead to greater health. Always drink lots of water. Increase fruits and veggies- they make you happy. Give thanks for the things we have control over, and pray about the things we don't. I love you family- we are one!
