The day started much later. I woke up at 10am so I slept around 10 hours. Lately I used to be sleeping 9-10h a day so that’s pretty normal. During the work out I felt less energy than normal and my form was a bit weaker. Nothing crazy though. Another day of vegan detox diet…

Here is what I ate for breakfast:

1 liter of grapefruit juice mixed with 1/2 avocado and 3 tablespoons of flax seed

Mixing grapefruit juice (freshly made) with avocado and flax seed was pretty interesting. Avocado didn’t really change the strong taste of grapefruit and flax seeds were floating over the smoothie. After that I felt very energetic and refreshed. I’m going to use this raw food recipe more often now.

Lunch:

2 apples

10 nuts like almonds, walnuts with lettuce, spinach, cabbage

I felt really full after that. I was surprised to discover that nuts come together really well with lettuce and other green leafy vegetables. 2 apples were a very nice addition as a snack.

Snacks:

Cucumber, parsley, tomato, 10 olives, 5 prunes, 5 dates and squeezed orange as a salad dressing

Great mix vegetables and some sweet dried fruits. I ate prunes and dates at the end as a dessert. Squeezed orange can work even better than lemon.

Dinner:

Large salad with 60% green-leafed vegetables and 1/2 cup of raw nuts, plus an orange blended with parsley and 20 olives

The problem is that I couldn’t get suggested sun-ripened olives. Olives I bought were salted and after a meal I didn’t feel to well. I will definitely stay away from olives and eat instead avocados or flax seed or oil from olives. On the whole the salad was ok. I’m still not a big fan of all salad meals but I hope it will change.

The day went pretty well. I didn’t feel as energetic as the second day. I was more low energy than normally. I guess my organism is still craving some of the foods I used to eat. I still have a thoughts about eating some bread, or yellow cheese or meat. I was used to eating them a lot in my previous diet. I fill pretty full most of the day but cravings for sweet and salt are still there. It will be interesting to see how it progresses. The thing is that I have no idea how my body will respond on this raw food detox diet. It’s one big unknown.

Here it is, the second day of my detox

The day started quite interesting. I woke up at 5:00 am and I was pretty surprised I was so awake. I tried to sleep a bit more but after 10 minutes I realized that I have to get up. I started my running/work out routine like every day. I noticed more energy and better performance than normal. Below you will see my raw food detox diet.

So here is what I ate for breakfast:

Honeydew melon blended with orange, lemon juice and handful of cacao beans

That was a pretty interesting smoothie. My smoothie maker didn’t quite blended all the cacao beans as there where some small, solid parts of them. Cacao beans gave a more bitter taste. Even thought melon and orange were pretty sweet the cacao beans gave more bitter taste. In the future I may experiment in giving less of them. It tasted much better than the yesterday’s smoothie.

Lunch:

Small green-leafed vegetable salad with kale, spinach and other with 15 walnuts and squeezed lemon

It tasted really good. I was surprised by the taste of kale. It tastes great! I think the key is to mix up as many different salads and cabbages for more unique taste. If you are going to eat only a standard, green salad, it will be hard to get through it. With more diversity, plus some nuts and lemon juice, it taste so much better! All in all, I was pretty happy with this meal.

Smoothie from 4 grapefruits

Awesome, really refreshing. I always use red grapefruits for the best taste. It’s great in a detox period too.

Snacks:

2 handfuls of goji berries

1 handful of walnuts and almonds

1 bowl of cherries (frozen)

That was one of my favorite meals. It tasted good, refreshing and a good mix. Nuts and berries definitely go up together.

Dinner:

Large salad with lettuce, endive, parsley, collards, kale, spinach, diced radishes, cayenne pepper and a lemon squeezed

2 avocados

1 liter of vegetable juice made from 60% green vegetables like chard, celery, parsley, lettuce, spinach and 40% other vegetables or fruits like apple, cucumber and yam

Large salad tasted really good with a mix of different salads. Cayenne pepper gave a nice taste in a mix with freshly squeezed lemon. At the end I tried to eat 2 avocados but it was too much for me. I will need to work on a balance between green-leafed vegetables and fats. Also 1 liter of vegetable juice was definitely too much for me after a big salad and avocados in between. Still, really good meal, a lot of green-leafed vegetables and fats.

During the day I experienced a bit more energy. Even though I was on my legs for like 19h I didn’t feel asleep. I experienced a bit more pissing than usual and one time my heart started to hit quicker for no apparent reason. I guess I’m in a ‘raw food detox’ phase and will see how the next day will go

David Wolfe

In this series I’m planning to report my first 30 days of raw food detox diet, my experiences and thoughts. I will post it daily for more detailed posts. So here you go.

In the morning I got UPS with my superfoods package! I got very excited and opened all the packages right away. Here is what I ordered:

• Spirulina from Hawaiian 100g
• Chlorella Algae  from China 250g
• Wheatgrass from China 500g
• Coconut oil virgin raw 200g
• Maca from Peru 250g
• Goji berries from China 250g
• Cacao beans from Peru 250g

That’s all costed me around $100. It’s a good idea to separate each superfood to a separate jar and name it for further reference. Good and secure storage is important. Check for temperatures requirements for each superfood as it may vary. Also, wherever you ordered such products, you should receive information about how often and how much you can it a day. In most cases you will be able to take 1,2 tablespoons 1-3 times a day. Superfoods may not taste the best but they are perfect when you make a vegetable juice or a fruit smoothie. They are advocated by many raw food experts because they contain a lot of crucial amino acids and minerals that help to absorb all the proteins and other nutrients you take.

I smelled and tasted each superfood and here is my first impression.

Spirulina smells really… bad It’s really dark green and very dusty. Use it in moderation as it can change the taste of your smoothie quite significantly.

Chlorella Algae similar to the previous. Very ‘earth’ smell.

Wheatgrass has quite moderate taste and smell. Definitely I ordered too much for the first time – 500g. 250g would be fair enough if you are just beginning. You need to mix it with water, like 1 ounce water and 1-2 tablespoons of wheatgrass.
Now, the taste is not the best but for detox and cleanse it’s the best thing! Mix it with blended apples or oranges for better taste. Also make smaller smoothies to drink it faster. Some people call it a wheatgrass shot as it’s a good idea to drink it all at once.

Coconut oil has a really delicate smell and taste. I read that it can be used for cooking, baking and frying. It’s great for a bread too, instead of butter. It can be also used for smoothies as it’s a great source of vegetable fat.

Maca is made from a root of some plant in Peru. It has a light brown color with specific smell. There are many benefits of this superfood like better organism regeneration and anti-agining effects. Again, perfect for any kind of vegetable juices.

Goji berries are very small, dried fruits. The taste is pretty good, nothing fancy. Perfect for smoothies and snacks. Goji berries have an amazing amount of antioxidants, over 10x more than blueberries! If you are looking for better skin and hair, anti-aging, that’s a superfood for you!

Cacao beans are very interesting superfoods. It tastes like a bitter chocolate. It has an amazing amount of antioxidants (even more than goji berries) and it’s one of the most complex food there is. That’s the main source of every chocolate. If you love chocolates, you will love real, natural and organic cacao beans. They can be used in fruit smoothies to change the taste and as a snack.

Now, I’m using all-raw diet suggested by David Wolfe in his book “The Sunfood Diet Success System”. It’s a weekly diet that contains 4 meals every day. I will start from this to find out the favorite recipes and customize my diet later on.

So here is what I had in the afternoon:

Blended super smoothie:

• apple
• strawberries
• half of orange
• spirulina 2 tablespoons
• chlorella algae 2 tablespoons
• coconut oil 2 tablespoons
• cup of water

The smoothies was very green with some white dots (coconut oil), not the best looking The taste was not as bad as it looked. Berries and apple definitely reduced the intense taste of chlorella and spirulina. It took me quite some time to drink it all. Now I may try to add more water like 1 and 1/2 cup and more fruits for a better taste. I may also reduce the amount of superfoods because I thought it’s a bit too much. Other than that it’s a very good, powerful smoothie for the beginning of the day.

The next one in the middle of the day:

1 Shot of wheatgrass juice

I put 2 tablespoons of wheatgrass and around 1/3 cup of water. Now the taste was not the best. It’s better to drink it in one time. I may try to experiment in adding some apple, orange, grapefruit juice and mix it all together.

Sandwich made with dehydrated flax crackers, avocado, clover sprouts, sliced tomato, diced zucchini and red onion

I didn’t have flax crackers so I just ate it in a bowl as a salad. I’m not used of eating such salads so the taste was average.

2 grapefruits smoothie

It’s one of my favorite. Really refreshing and great for summer. Energy booster too. For less bitter taste try red grapefruits or oranges.

3 sticks of celery

I never ate celery before and I must say it has a very intense, ‘grassy’ taste. I could eat just 2 sticks as they were really long. Celery is great for smoothies too and it has a lot of detox effects. Not one of my favorite in a case of taste.

The last one was dinner:

One large lettuce, cucumber, tomato, clover sprout and green onion salad with one handful of raw sunflower seeds, two avocados and a fresh-squeezed lemon

I diced avocados too in small squares and ate in a separate bowl. I added a bit too much of lettuce and couldn’t eat it all. I was quite hungry but I discovered that you can really feel full eating just salad. I discovered that avocado is perfect for it. Avocado is a very interesting fruit, fat fruit. It’s one of the healthiest and natural sources of fat that you need. All in all, this meal tasted pretty average. Quite bitter in my opinion and I craved for some salt or sauce for it that I used to get. Hope my tastes will change after time. I mean it wasn’t that bad, just different. I will have to get used to the taste of avocado too.

So that’s it. Because I started eating a bit later this day I ate only 3 meals. Pretty excited about this raw food detox diet and looking forward for the next day.

Hi

My name is Lucas Adamski and recently I got fascinated by the raw food subject. I’m 21 and I live currently in Poland. I started to read different things on forums, blogs, watch videos, seminars and buy books. I discovered many wonderful experts that claim themselves as ‘raw foodists’. Honestly, I have to say that I never heard about this term before. The thought of eating only fruits and vegetables couldn’t even come to my head.

But here I am, on my blog, trying to advocate this way of living I’m so happy to see you there and I applaud your curiosity to look around this topic. There is so much misinformation online and only the avid searchers will find the answer they are looking for. You have proved that you are one of them. Congrats!

The aim of this blog is to share my personal experience about raw food detox diet. As you maybe know, your first few months on a 100% raw diet will cause your organism to detox. It means that all the toxins will go away from your organism through different channels like bowels, skin, emotions, sicknesses. I’m going to use the diet recommended by David Wolfe in his book “The Sunfood Diet Success System” (highly recommended!).

In the last 3 months I tried to switch from ‘normal diet’ into more healthy, by introducing more fruits and vegetables into my diet. Because I’m working out regularly, I tried to eat more proteins – meat and salads. From now on I have a better understanding of proteins and what role do they play in your organism. I will share that in my future posts.

My goal is to go through 30 days of raw food diet, 100% raw, no exceptions, no BS and 100% committed. During this journey I will share some of the food I will be eating everyday, my favorite recipes and things I will discover. I hope this raw food blog will be helpful for you with your own transformation. My transformation is beginning NOW!
