In the raw...

The challenge: One month of a fresh diet. Fresh fruit, veggies, and nuts. The only way I will cook anything is by steaming it. The only additives I can us are spices (mrs. dash, pepper, etc) and salad dressing (in moderation)

The intended result: a cleansed body and hopefully some pounds lost.

Why? I have been feeling really gross lately. My body does not feel healthy. It feels like it is run down and full of crap all the time. I want to feel more natural... Does that make sense? Also, I want to eat healthier, and make smarter food choices and I feel this is a great way to get on the right foot. I want to enjoy the beautiful bountiful harvest that comes from this earth. Okay, so that is a little hippie sounding. But really, I just want to create a better me. Something I can be proud of when I look at myself, and something that is doing all I can to prolong my life.

So here goes nothing... I will be documenting everything I eat for the next month as well as weight loss and generally how I feel. Do I have more energy, am I hungry more often, what general effect is this having on my life?

Day 1
Breakfast: Banana, small cup of raw almonds, acai juice ( 8 ounces)

I'll hit ya with the rest later :)
