I’ve been keeping a food journal since starting this mostly raw diet. I thought Tuesday’s entry was significant, so I decided to share it on my blog:<\/p>\n

Day Twelve<\/h3>\n

17 February 2009\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mood:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today was the worst I have eaten since starting this diet. I had a Starbucks toffee almond bar with lemonade\/tea for breakfast, and then an apple oatmeal pancake with lots of syrup and molasses for lunch.<\/p>\n

I felt crap all day, but about an hour after lunch, I went from feeling crap to feeling sick. Then I switched into hyper-ultimate-bitch mode. I started yelling at the kids and bitching at my husband. I knew what it was — my body and my spirit felt like shit and it was exploding out of me.<\/p>\n

Yeah. This diet is not about losing weight, although that is an excellent bonus. Nutrition is about feeling good on the inside and outside, and being a kind, stable person. Poisonous food creates a poisonous spirit.<\/p>\n

I know a lot of people think that the New Age folks are a bunch of fruit cakes, but after my experimentation with this diet and how I felt before and how I feel now, I have to say, they have — by far<\/em> — the best information on nutrition, and we would all do well to listen to them. By eating more raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts, I am consistently in a better mood and have more energy. I just feel so much better. And I’m not even being strict about the diet… just a lot<\/em> more raw fruits and vegetables than I ever used to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
