Sorry I have not written sooner, but work has been busy and at the end of the day i have no energy. This week was tough and I am sick so that is not helping. i have my green juice!
So Chapter 2 is really about getting to know what your body needs and how to go about that the raw way. What i remember most about chapter 2 is calorie density and that you can pretty much eat as many vegetables as you want and have the calories you need. You cant do that with cooked foods and junk foods. There is also a section on what foods and drinks to avoid.
I love coffee and do not tend to cut that out of my life, i am also a social drinker and I have been a little more conscious on what beers and wines I am drinking.
Chapter 3 is about nutrients, ways to get protein the raw and vegan way. Eat a rainbow of vegetables and fruits and you will have most of the nutrients that you need. Vitamin B12 is something everyone needs, it is great to take a supplement. i want to find a gummy. i cannot take any type of vitamin without vomiting for some reason. Get enough sunshine as well. Fermenting is also great! Probiotics are a great think to have in your body.
I am going into part 2 now in the Raw Food For Dummies Book and I am excited to keep learning! My goal is not be sick. Lots of veggies,green juice and water….ok I am ignoring water right now, but I am trying.
