been doing fairly bad on my raw diet since last thursday. we had a staff tasting day with a bunch of products to try (wine, beer, cookies, chocolate..) i did get to try some raw cheese and raw chocolate from love street foods. the chocolate was sweetened with a coconut nectar sugar and lucuma powder. lucuma is a up and coming sweetener, made from a peruvian fruit that looks like an orange-fleshed avocado.
and i've also been hearing some bad things about agave; that it is never truly "raw" is made with the root and not the higher quality leaf, the companies are corrupt?
so i ate a lot of non raw that day. and the day before i was cooking for friends in my home and i ate dinner with them. then over the weekend i was at my parents' house. i had fruit that i brought, but i also ate steak, turkey sandwiches, cereal with cow milk, chicken burritos...
ugh, i totally noticed a difference in well, the bathroom. my passings were noticeably harder then in the weeks before. i thought i'd gained like 4 pounds, but it turned out it was all poop. gross!
well, today i had a raw breakfast but i ate some other things at work, we had a lot of free samples out, but i got a lot of dried fruit and grapes as well.
gotta get back on the wagon! i have a small backlog of ideas that i want to blog about, so i should really try to update once a day.
Entries like this are a good reminder that raw foods are something everyone can get into. Who wouldn't be tempted by turkey sandwiches? Well... vegetarians and vegans most likely... But back on track. Good to know that it wasn't a sudden influx of body weight. Unfiltered entries, lol.
