Raw Diet Day 2 Progress!!!!

Day 2: I lost 5 pounds in one day! Holy cow!

I know it's all water weight, but it still feels good! I'm now 1 pound under where I was when I was eating 50-75% raw.

Half way to my goal! (A 1/4 of the way to my ultimate wedding weight goal.)

Day 1: Wish me luck girls!

I did this last summer and I lost a ton of weight and felt awesome! I've kept my diet about 50% raw since then but have been slacking lately.

Starting today I'm going to eat 90% raw until our trip to LA on the 30th! After that I want to keep it between 50 and 75% raw until the wedding!

The fridge is stocked with fruits, veggies, and nuts, and my green smoothies are ready to go!

.......I soooo want a gigantic deli cheese sandwich right now. lol

All about the Raw Food Diet

Pretty much everything that you would be eating is uncooked and unprocessed. It's a lot of prep work, but it's so worth it!

One of my favorite things to make is Raw Manicotti. It's thin sliced eggplant with a raw 'cheese' and homemade marinara. It's so good!

Re: Day 1 of my Raw Food Diet!

I've done this and it is hard! mostly for social reasons though, like when you go out to eat there's not a ton of options aside from salad.

But you do feel ALOT healthier

Good luck!!! I did a 100% raw food diet for 3 weeks 2 summers ago as a cleanse!! It was great!! It def took a lot of discipline but I felt great, and my skin was soooo soft!! I plan on doing it again closer to the wedding. You do lose a lot of weight doing it!!!

Re: Day 1 of my Raw Food Diet!

I lost about 10 pounds in a couple weeks the first time at almost 100% raw. When I switched back to 50% raw I was able to maintain the weight. (Which is super difficult for me.)

I gained a few pounds the last couple weeks because I haven't been good at all so I figured it's time to kick start the weight loss again.

An easy way to transition to a higher raw diet is with Green Smoothies (LOVE!) Blending the veggies first makes them a lot easier to digest than eating them whole. I get 5 cups of spinach every morning with my green smoothie and it tastes so yummy!
