The Raw Food Diet: An Appetite Suppressant?
Today’s Raw Food Diet
- Strawberries (28 oz.)
- Grapes (24 oz.)
- Green Smoothie (6 bananas/2 nectarines/1/2 bunch spinach)
I may have shot off my mouth too soon . . . my weight didn’t move from yesterday to today. I’m still inclined to believe that my body is holding water and waste. I haven’t exercised enough to put on any muscle, and I don’t think I could have put on that much fat in two days . . .
Today, I didn’t feel very hungry when I got up. When I poked around in the refrigerator, I saw the remains of a big box of strawberries that looked like it was “now or never time” if I was going to eat them.
The Princess and I went to HEB after I picked her up from her day camp. She has been pestering me for grapes for the last couple of days. A lot of good deals were to be had today in the produce section; I won’t be wanting for food for the next three or four days.
I added more spinach to today’s Green Smoothie blend. It’s still pretty sweet, but not as sweet as yesterday. Perhaps I’ll try a smoothie with a full bunch of spinach tomorrow. Maybe my taste buds are more sensitive to sweet tastes and less sensitive to bitter ones.
Today is another one of those low-appetite days. Yesterday, I was really impressed at how easily I consumed 2400 calories. Today, I don’t see much chance of that happening. If I cross the 2000 calorie mark, I’ll be surprised.
I noticed, as I sat down to write this post, that I’m beginning to get a mild headache. My body must be fixin’ to detox from the stuff I ate for most of the last week. It doesn’t feel like it, but I know this is a good thing.
I wonder if the two are related? When I did a quick search on Google, I didn’t find a lot of information. The only thing I can point to is Dr. Graham’s statements about the innate intelligence of the human body. So, I’ll trust that I’m fine eating so little, and that my body will tell me when I should eat more.
