Food Eaten: Straberry hemp shake, dates, olives, gazpacho, apples
Quality of Life: Apathy towards future growing
Activity Level: Ran some errands. Can't get enough sleep.
Raw Food Percentage: 100
I'm very tired today, granted I didn't sleep real well last night but this feels a bit different. If it persists tomorrow I'm going to have to change my diet and try to balance it out, check to see which vitamins I'm lacking. Probably Bn+1, vegetable diets lack those I hear.
In general I just feel kind of dopey and vague, acting mostly on impulse and not on conscious decision. Raw food can be linked to zombie-ism perhaps? Trick a man into denying the fire that brings him life and the fire of life within will perish, leaving only an empty husk with the cinders of life glowing weakly inside.
Alternately, this is supposed to be one of the adaptation and detox symptoms, trouble sleeping, depression, headaches... It's possible I'll feel like a new man in a few days, the detox having done its job admirably.
As an interesting side effect I no longer think about cooked food when I get hungry, I had a craving for dates when I woke up this morning instead of bacon eggs and coffee. My body has apparently realized its not really an option. So that's a start, I guess.
The downside is that means its probably going to be quite a shock when I switch back on the first. Let's hope my liver likes surprises.

Hey Liam,
ReplyDeleteI've never been a raw foodist....but does 5 years of veganism allow me to meddle and offer advice? Ok, I am anyways. Look for Red Star Nutritional Yeast. Its got those B vitimins that are harder to source from plants. Its raw! Plus, its used in fake cheese things and people put it on popcorn, so it actually tastes pretty good. Another nutrient powerhouse is the litle hemp seed. Re: food pretending to be other food, I don't think its usually terribly tasty. For a great vegan meal you can't think about a meal being meat and potatoes and a side of veg and then just sub some fake meat for the meat. Might I ask what prompted you to try the raw food thing?
