Due to persistent headaches, my doctor advised me to eat more calories and eat protein.
So, I have still been "fasting," but am now eating a lot more fruits and vegetables. I have also added legumes to my diet. I don't feel incredibly hungry, but i AM craving carbs. I am craving carbs like crazy. Luckily, I have no carbs around to tempt me!
I have been starting each day with a fruit smoothie, which is something that I will try to continue when my 7 days ends. I puree a banana in a splash of cranberry juice. I then add about 8 ice cubes and 8 strawberries. It is absolutely Delish! I also made a blackberry banana smooth that also came out yummy.
So now that I have added legumes to my raw diet fast, I have been eating edamame and beans. I made hummus but I skipped on the olive oil.
The not eating meat has not bothered me at all. It is the sweets and carbs that I am craving. And dairy--well, I just miss it. Cheese is one of my faaaaavorite foods. So, I'll be glad when these 7 days are up.
