Salad?-Day 33, 34 and 35


What kind of rawfoodist doesn't eat a salad at least once a day? They are so good for you, so tasty, so easy, and the possibilities are endless. That would be me. The one who craves fat and sugar. As you will see from my list of daily intake coming up, One day I ate chocolate pudding for breakfast. Now, one of the coolest things about eating a high raw diet is that you can still eat things like this without a pang of guilt. But I still feel like I could eat more salad. And even though certain brands of xylitol are allowed, I'm not sure that consuming a container a week is a good idea either. BAD, BAD example. I will vow to eat more veggies!
All this being said, I still have an abundance of energy and am sleeping very regularly. I've started to get more exercise as well and seem to have good stamina and flexibility even after a year with very little. Also my skin is soooo much more moisturized. Before I started this detox I was noticing my skin being so dry and icky. Even though I could double or triple my water intake my skin has seemed to improved. Every day I drink a green juice containing cucumber, celery, kale and a lemon. Cucumber skin has silicon which is excellent for helping retain the "juiciness" and youth of tissues, celery is great for digestion and kale has tons of minerals. All that without the youth robbing properties of caffeine or alcohol, I guess I could forgive myself for not eating more salad. Still ahead of the game.
I will share a really delicious salad dressing that I made last week. I got it from the book, The Raw Food Revolution Diet by Cherie Soria, Brenda Davis RD, and Vesanto Melina, MS, RD. It is a good book for delicious, raw, low fat options (if your into that sort of thing).
