Looking up for Uma Thurman’s diet (She’s also into Raw) I found this really interesting article. It elaborates on the way I’ve been feeling after (and during) my first Raw week.
The article is Life in the Raw and it documents the experience of a Girl during her first week on Raw
I feel my will for raw slipping as I look at a mouth-watering menu – lobster, fish bisque, steak. Will one small deviation count? My friends are choosing what to eat with the light-hearted joy of normal diners. Going out for dinner is about so much more than food, but the restrictions are not making me feel sociable. I stay strong and stick to salad.
In General Raw Guru is a pretty good and helpful site for the new Raw eater. The article I liked the most revolves around making the transition from a cooked to a raw life. This is what I find more interesting:
Most people can switch to the transition diet quite easily and many stay with it on an ongoing basis. The transition stage consists of 80% raw and 20% cooked foods. The primary raw foods to eat on this diet include: fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh juices, avocado, raw nuts, and seeds. This should comprise at least 80% of your diet. [...] The remaining 20% of your diet can be cooked. That means 1 or 2 cooked meals a week, or up to 20% of individual meals. In order to be considered on the transition diet, you should not eat more cooked food than this.
It’s so great to read this! Based on this I can say that my past week (let’s not look at the current weekend, please) was 80% raw, which gets me on the right path and motivates me to keep working on this!
This Week I have a date during the week, for which I am already planning on cooking something my grandmother used to cook for me as a child, at least now I can feel a little less guilty for this. Now, the only thing I have to focus on, is staying RAW for at least 80% of my week.
I’m feeling very excited, very.
