The title of my challenge is perhaps a little misleading as I am aiming for 75% raw. . . but that is not as catchy! Apparently a 75%er eats completely raw for breakfast and three quarters of lunch and dinner are raw. </span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Sounds simple enough in theory but over the next 30 days I will be fighting two addictions... sugarfree Redbull and starchy carb foods such as pasta and bread. Every single day I drink one (okay something two) Redbulls, and pretty much every meal I eat includes some kind of bread, pasta or rice. Hence my decision to aim for 75% instead of 100%. For this challenge at least ;-)</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">I have devised a menu plan for this week which I will include in my daily posts. Everything on the list is made up by myself. I tried to research simple raw recipes online but all I could find were borderline gourmet recipes with extremely rare and expensive ingredients. So I am keeping it simple and basic for now until I can locate some better resources. </span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">As of right now I have just finished breakfast which was nice. I am feeling really optimistic and excited about the health changes that the next 30 days will bring, primarily energy and weight loss. A Redbull would be nice right now though... </span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Menu Week One:</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Breakfast:</span></em><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Raw mango and banana smoothie</span></em><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Fruit</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Snack:</span></em><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Carrot and celery sticks</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Lunch:</span></em><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Raw gaucomale and diced vegetable salad</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Snack:</span></em><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Frozen fruit</span></em><br /><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Dinner:</span></em><br /><em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Tomato vegetables and rice (small amount of brown rice)</span></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6589224378626613533-8703811488522367387?l=30dayrawchallenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>annalovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05345676708051825713noreply@blogger.com0
