Last week I made an effort to lose 8lbs. The first 5 days of the week went great. I was inspired and energized throughout the week. I don’t know what happened between Friday night and yesterday but I fell off the horse. I didn’t eat good or do anything that resulted in perspiration. Slacker, I know. I guess my body was telling me it needed a few days off. One good thing I did do over the weekend was start to research raw food diets. Here’s a good summary of the purpose raw foods from http://www.living-foods.com .
What are Living and Raw Foods?
Raw and Living Foods are foods that contain enzymes. In general, the act of heating food over 116 degrees F destroys enzymes in food. (Enzymes start to degrade in as little as 106 degrees F). All cooked food is devoid of enzymes, furthermore cooking food changes the molecular structure of the food and renders it toxic. Living and raw foods also have enormously higher nutrient values than the foods that have been cooked.
So yea, sounds interesting and considering I woke up with a huge stomach ache this morning (from eating some crap late last night), I’m seriously thinking of giving it a try. In fact I’m going to do it. To be continued…..
