Raw thinking

We've decided to take the plunge! After a recent business trip he came home ready to make some drastic changes. We have talked about going to a raw food diet before but never got the momentum. This last trip though sealed the deal.

We went grocery shopping last night (I managed to eat most of the food we had while he was gone) and went all out. We got the appliances we needed (a new blender, a food processor, and a a juicer...we also got some new tupperware and salad bowls) and then went and got groceries. So far so good! We had a big ol' salad last night with some homemade dressing. The dressing wasn't raw (olive oil, vinegar, chives, thyme, and one other spice I can't remember) but it was fantastic! We're working on getting our spices raw and trying to see if we can get olive oil and vinegar raw as well.

He had a fresh juice this morning and then another one at lunch. His detox has kicked in (like last night after dinner) but we knew it would be fast for him. It's crazy to see what a real juice looks like color wise...not bright and fake. And not cheek puckering sweet/bitter/sour.

Day one:
Salad with romaine lettuce, apple, orange, almonds, sunflower seeds (and I think necterine).
Salad dressing: olive oil, red wine vinegar, chive, thyme, and another spice

Day 2:
Morning juice: apple, peach (I think), carrots, spinach
Lunch: Juice (apple, orange, 2 carrots, spinach), almond/sunflower seeds/spanish peanut mix

Current weight: 250 (guesstimate on his end)

So far no gut issues other than the detox. Even the Spanish peanuts didn't bug him and peanuts normally do! We were going to wait to switch our drinks since he does get a coffee in the morning but we decided to do it all last night (we had planned on getting milk) and skip those. He did have a coffee this morning but said at lunchtime he can see himself giving it up very fast. Yay!
