Day five is REALLY pretty much Day 1. I had originally planned on starting on Monday but got excited and jumped the gun last week and then floundered my way through a weekend that went from being bad to worse. We had planned to leave town for the weekend but when our plans changed, I was not prepared for the change in menu planning so, I will use the word again: floundered! But nevermind because today I am doing absolutely marvelously!!! I worked out at 6am, I took my Paranil pills, my fiber drink, went grocery shopping and completely cleaned Meijer's out of anything green and leafy with names that I could not pronounce. My refrigerator is stuffed full of goodies in opaque plastic bags! For lunch I made "Ambrosia" which consisted of sliced bell peppers, carrots, apple, and zucchinni topped with ginger, garlic, basil, cilantro, jalapeno, dried cranberries, and walnuts and a dressing called Golden Elixer (lemon juice, nama shoyu, ginger, honey, and oil). It was supposed to have mint as well, but Meijer was out of mint. As you are reading, I'm sure you're feeling the same way I was: hesitant, skeptical, doubtful? I'm not crazy about cilantro or jalapeno and the combination of all these things together sure didn't whet my appetite! But if there's one thing I've learned about the raw diet, it's this: IT WILL SURPRISE YOU! Things that you would never have eaten together before can actually taste quite good. And once again, I was surprised! It wasn't "oh baby give me more" but it was definitely a satisfying lunch. And I wrapped it up with a yummy Larabar for "dessert." Now I'm focusing on drinking plenty of water.
I'm sticking to the Level 4 Detox Menu as closely as I can. So far so good!
