What have I eaten today?

The majority of my meals are very simple quite a few of them are “mono meals” I really enjoy eating this way. This morning I had chopped up three mangos and added them to my food processor. Oh my talk about delicious. Mmm, they were so good!

I forgot to purchase avocados when I was at the store on Monday. I think I will pick some up on my way home from work today.

Raw Update & Weight loss

Posted on July 26th, 2006 in Raw Foods Diva by Vegan Momma

This past Sunday I met my friend, C, for lunch I have not seen him since last year. He arrived from Iraq in July. When he arrived back in the States he gave me a call I told him, at that time, that I had lost weight. “Where, he replied, you don’t have anything to lose!”

When C saw me last year I weighed about 112 or 113 pounds. I now weight 103 pounds. This is five pounds more than my college weight. I ate more food in my college days than I do now. My friends wondered where I was hiding it. He did tell me as he felt my biceps, “I still see you’ve retained your muscle.” Switching to an all raw diet made the weight drop off quickly. I had read many account of slim people losing weight initially when the moved to all raw foods so I wasn’t alarmed. I wasn’t trying to lose weight but the foods I’m eating now are lower in calories. I don’t live to eat I eat to live but I enjoy each meal I have. They are delicious.
