right, so booyaa has been joining in on raw dinners all week. today he had green juice for breakfast, too, and he's bouncing around like a mad thing. he has officially re-certified himself as being 150% more booyaa!
it's amazing, the difference, it really is noticeable. no sluggishness, no lazing around after dinner with no desire to do anything other than watch tv. he's up and about, washing up and cleaning the mess i've made in the kitchen, really, well, 'bouncy' is definitely the word. in the mornings he's been up before i've taken tea in, which usually is a two step process to get him out of bed, and he's done household chores he doesn't ever think to do, i always have to ask him to help, before he's left for work in the morning. bizzarro!
best of all, he's really enjoying the food, it's not a chore or a sacrifice. he's loved everything we've eaten this week and he snarfed extra large seconds of the raspberry sorbet and chocolate sauce tonight and even likes the green juices.
so raw is doing him lots of favours, it would seem. and the transformation is so fast! it's only one meal a day for five days and he's thriving on it. i remember a long time ago reading the question 'ok, you were ill and got healthy on raw foods. so what happens when a healthy person tries it?' here's your answer. they become little dynamos of energy and packed full of feel-good factor :)
food diary
green juice (kale, apples, oranges, mint, carrots)
banana
lambs lettuce & tomato salad with 'scones' from couple of days ago, 2 squares chocolate
romaine roll-ups (chopped peppers, spring onion, sweetcorn, apple with creamy mustard dressing piled onto romaine leaves, vaguely rolled up. then the filling splurges out as you eat it)
raspberry sorbet and chocolate sauce a la karen knowler
for booyaa's food diary replace lunchtime salad with a chicken sandwich and scotch eggs (yeah, i already rolled my eyes so hard they squeaked)
