In the last few months, I successfully passed all of my classes, ate entire loaves of manna bread in a day, planted my first vegetable garden and made many mothers happy with beautiful bouquets.
Despite all of these accomplishments, I have very few raw recipes that are new and exciting!
I still haven't remade those date bars,
but I think I will tomorrow.
some raw or just general lifestyle movements worth mentioning include
1) sleeping without a pillow [who knew?]
2) daily meditation on how AWESOME life is
3) taking psyllium husk every day
4) getting library books
5) growing my own food
So why the title?
Since working at my wonderful flower shop job, I happily gorged myself on these huge, way too juicy oranges the entire shift... breakfast, lunch, snacks, you name it. I was easily eating ten a day, perhaps for the last month and a half. Now, I know many people can really thrive on a high fruit diet, the 80-10-10 for example... but after the last few months of observation, I don't think I am one of them.
On a 80%+ raw food diet with quite a bit of variety, I felt lame, tired, and always hungry.
So I stopped eating oranges completely, and only had berries and apples for my fruit for about a week,
and now I am feeling much much better.
I've followed Gabriel Cousens books for as long as I have been into living foods, and a big part of his programs involve a very low sugar diet. A year ago, I followed the strictest phase of the Rainbow Diet for 30 days and felt great; now, with this recent orange situation, I am going to revisit this concept, both in my own diet and with what other people have to say about this.
On that note, Billie Holiday and I are going to call it a night. Until next time.
