Welcome!
2 Months have already passed, and yes, I’m still on a raw food detox diet 
I’m actually doing pretty well.
Here is what I eat now everyday.
Breakfast:
Green Smoothie
- 2 bananas
- 1 peach
- 1 mandarine
- handful of blueberries
- handful of rasberries
- 2 teaspoons of spirulina
- 2 teaspoons of chlorella/maca
- 2 tablespoons of flax seeds
- 3 tablespoons of agava nectar or 2 tablespoons of Gula Java Cacao
- 100g of salad, spinach, any green (3 handfuls)
- 400ml of water
This green smoothie is an absolute blast! It’s the most balanced meal I came across in a liquid state so it’s very easy to digest. In fast, this 1,5l smoothie has so much power that you can actually FEEL IT after you drink it.
Everyday I experiment with different fruits. Although I always stick with bananas, as they are really good for eliminating the superfoods tastes.
And what’s best about it is that it STICKS. It sticks for you whole day. You will experience the boost in your first 3-4 hours. Great for morning and to ‘wake up’. I think that even if you will just drink this smoothie, and for the rest of the day you will eat fast foods or cooked foods, after time, you will switch to more fruits and vegetables. Why? It has so many nutrition value that I doubt you will have even a SLIGHT desire to eat anything unhealthy.
My new discovery – Gula Java Cacao – is absolutely amazing. Tastes like a cacao with milk you were drinking as a child. Even if you mix it up with sea goodies like algae What’s good about it, is that it has a sweeter taste than a regular raw cacao. It just tasted better and it can eliminate the bad taste of a salad in your smoothie.
Snack:
A Big Bowl Of Sweets
- peaches
- blueberries
- rasberries
- apples
- pears
- kiwis
- ananas
- figi
- oranges
- mandarines
- nectarines
- melons
- dried fruits
- nuts like brazil nuts, cashews
- goji berries
It’s my favorite meal. Really sweet with an addition of nuts. I listed the most common fruits you can get in any store. Each day I mix them up. More diversity, better.
Dinner:
Green Smoothie
- 2 bananas
- other fruits, like peach, blueberries, apple
- 2 tablespoons of flax seeds or coconut oil
- sometimes, 2 tablespoons of wheatgrass
- 3 tablespoons of agava nectar or 2 tablespoons of Gula Java Cacao
- 100g of salad, spinach, any green (3 handfuls)
- 400ml of water
- dried fruits, nuts for a snack
Very tasty smoothie. Because there is no more superfoods, I can add more salads, and still get a good taste. Really refreshing and an energy booster.
Supper:
An Extra Big Bowl Of Greens
- few handfuls of any salad, green vegetables, parsley
- 2 tomatoes
- some cherry tomatoes
- cucumber or onion or bell pepper
- pumpkin seeds
- some nuts like cashews
- dried tomatoes
- ’sour-sweet dressing’
It took me a really long time to come up with a green salad that I really like. And I think I finally found ‘my recipe’. In any raw food detox diet you really want to focus on eating as much salads as possible. It’s the most common mistakes most new raw foodists do. I always to try more and more greens if I can. It’s one of the rare things were more is better
I always chop everything to small pieces. Salad, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, onion, pepper, dried tomatoes, it’s all sliced into small pieces. It will taste better once you eat it.
Adding ‘additions’, like pumpkin seeds (can be also sunflower seeds or other), nuts or dried tomatoes will add some nice diversity to your salad. Also, it will taste so much better.
What is a ’sour-sweet dressing’?
- 2 tablespoons of applesauce
- 4 tablespoons of ‘garlic sauce’ (garlic + lemon + water)
- 1 tablespoon of agava nectar
- 1/4 teaspoon of himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon of ginger
Just mix it up together and you will get a very tasty, golden-colored, hot, a bit sweet & sour salad dressing. Don’t add too much ginger. Add more than 1 teaspoon if you really like hot spices.
Summary of the first 2 months on a raw food diet
There are many things I like about this diet and some not so much
First off, I lost some weight, like 4-7 kg. I was not really happy about this as it’s hard for me to gain any weight. I’m planning to gain 5-10 kg in next coming months. It will be harder though, as most likely gain weight = gain muscles. It’s really hard to gain lots of fat on this diet.
I actually lost all the fat I had in my body. I would say even too much. But that’s how the detoxification works. Actually, it’s still happening in my body. I gain 1 kg and lose 0.5kg. My weight is not constant. I’m just going to observe it for now.
My strength has increased. It may be just because I work out everyday. My stamina has increased too when I’m running. It’s nothing that significant. But I feel really strong and really good most of the time.
My energy is really high during the first 6 hours of the day. It’s from 6am to 12pm. Then it goes down a bit and after my dinner smoothie it goes up. I currently sleep 7 hours a day and it seems enough for me.
There is something in spirulina that gives you a ‘hightened awereness’. I don’t know what it is. It’s almost like a drug, but very subtle. It sticks for a whole day but you really see this effect in the morning. It may be my morning jogging, then work out, then green smoothie, that can be this ‘holy combination’. I really don’t know. But it feels so good.
My skin looks smoother than before. I really never cared too much about my skin but I noticed a difference.
Cravings for sweets, bread, meat, cooked food decreased after first month and after second I totally forgot this kind of food exist. I actually crave now the supper meal that is a big bowl of greens. Absolutely love it. And you sleep like a baby after it
I got more in touch with my body. I know when I eat some food that doesn’t digest. When I feel a desire to eat some kind of fruits/vegetables I eat it. Few weeks ago I ate a lot of kiwis and ananas. Now, I can’t eat it. I eat other fruits. I just know when it’s too much.
People around me got really interested in my diet. My family, friends really started to get interested in this new, ‘live food’ lifestyle. That’s really amazing to see. I even met my friend’s friend who want to start a raw food diet. I think there will be more and more interest in this kind of ‘caveman’, ‘back-to-the-basics’ approach to nutrition. No more ’seasonal diets’ but back to what really works. What always worked. That is healthy & organic fruits and vegetables
