Day Four Raw Cleanse

 Breakfast: Orange Banana Raspberry Smoothie
Very Good.


Lunch: Pate (Sunflower seeds, oregano, basil)
Excellent!


Dinner: Zucchinighetti and Red Sauce
Very tasty. I used oregano from my garden
for the easy red sauce and it's very flavorful.

Day Three Raw Cleanse

Day Three Breakfast: Three Oranges Juiced blended with banana
Very good.


 Day Three Lunch: Celery Chowder or Smoothie 
(made with fresh coconut meat and water)
Really good. This surprised me. I also made it as a smoothie 
which was easier to consume!

Day Three Dinner: Apple Pie with Almond Crust and a bowl of cherries.
I made one with just apple and one with frozen cherries blended in.
Pretty good and filling.

Day Two Raw Cleanse

 Day Two Lunch: Mineralizing Salad
Good.

Day Two Dinner: Supposed to be a salsa wrapped in kale,
but it was too runny so I made it a Kale/Salsa Smoothie!
Very good and I liked the spicyness.

Day Two Breakfast: Juice of 3 Grapefruits (was supposed to be 8!)

Day One Raw Cleanse

Day One Lunch: Hemp Seed Tabouleh
Very tasty and easy to make.

Day One Breakfast: 5 Oranges juiced
Day One Dinner: Avocado Salsa with Jicama

The Garden Diet 21-Day Raw Cleanse

I am taking a hiatus from the books for the next three weeks. I need to jump-start my weight-loss (especially after visiting vegan-friendly Portland and Raleigh!) and I kept joking about going raw for awhile. Well, wouldn't you know, I got sent a link to a raw cleanse that started on Monday, and I decided to go for it. I'm on Day Three and have lost a couple pounds.

I'll post pictures of the meals I make, with a very short commentary. If you are interested in the program, you can visit this site. http://21daysraw.com/ Since I have just started the program, I have no opinion yet if I would recommend it.

Weight at beginning of Day One: 167 lbs.
