Going Raw: 2 Wk Trial

Alright, guys - I'm going raw . . . for 2 wks! You can expect some interesting recipes to explode from this blog as well as reports on the failures um, I mean challenges that I'm looking forward to facing with a raw food diet!

Ok - so, why the cold turkey? {No pun intended - hehe!} Truth be told - I'm doing this as moral support for someone I love. A whole lot. Plus, I know this person would do this for me (or anything) in a less than a split second so I feel the least I can do is ride the wave with her for a short 14 days. :p

I assure you - food is not a religion for me. Although I like to eat healthy when it's in my control, I can enjoy pretty much any food just as much the next person. :) Going completely raw would not be my first choice, but like I said-- love will make you do craaazzy things!

I'm sure my skepticism (and initial questions) are typical of most people looking into a raw based diet:

• will i be hungry?
• can you maintain weight on an all raw diet?
• what is this going to cost?! 
• can i do this?!!!!! 

I'm convinced, though, a raw diet this is one of the best diets for alkalinity. Disease thrives in an acidic environment but it CANNOT survive when the body is alkaline. :-) Yes! There are action steps you can take. I suggest testing your pH level as a start!

I already have a string of incredible ideas and recipes that I can't wait to try my hand at! Watch out - you just might be persuaded to give some new foods a try by the end of this. :p

Pictures and recipe reports to come!
