Raw Detox

Okay, the vegan journey continues, but weight loss has not been a real benefit of this change. I have lost some weight, but not as much as I imagined. I keep reading really good things about a raw vegan diet. So, I've decided to take a mini-step in this direction. I am doing this for the following reasons:

• Kick off weight loss
• Retrain palate to desire less sugar
• Reduce the quantity of food consumed

My path to this journey is Raw Divas 7 day Detox, which will only be 5 days for me. In fact, I am not following all of the rules of the 7 Day Detox. First, I am starting early. I am scheduled to leave town on Saturday morning for a Thanksgiving Holiday. I can't be raw vegan in Texas. I can barely be vegan in Texas.

So, instead of waiting to do the detox, I've decided to do 75% and maybe do another round when I return. Day 1 is a water fast. I had a glass of wine this evening, which was probably not the best idea for a pre-fast beverage.
