Day 5- New transitional plan

So, I realized that, as much as I want to eat completely raw, my body is being a little stubborn and still wanting to fill up on grains first. So, instead of trying to eat completely raw right now, this is my new plan:

- Eliminate meat and dairy.
- At each meal, at least 50-75% will be fruits and/or vegetables (mostly raw, with lots of dark leafy greens)
- The rest will be grains (cooked) and nuts/seeds (this will give me the protein & fat needed to feel full)

That should make this transition a little easier. And hey, I am still eating "vegan," just not raw. That is still quite a feat!

(Note: Vegans do not eat any animal products (meat, dairy). Since honey is considered an animal product, some vegans do not eat it, and some do. I will be eating honey.)

 With that new plan in mind, I just had this for dinner:

A baked sweet potato with a little rosemary

A modified version of my favorite Super Waldorf Salad
'(with kale instead of spinach & romaine, and no carrots or bell pepper)

A side of Quinoa pilaf
(I briefly sauteed a chopped clove of garlic, added chopped carrots and sauteed for a minute (so they were still crunchy), added a couple shakes of Thyme, Oregano and Rosemary, a little sea salt, and about 2 cups cooked quinoa and mixed well)

Of course, I started eating the grains first. But this meal was extremely filling. And I feel light & energetic, instead of gross & sluggish (such as I feel after eating lots of meat, only carbs, or lots of sugar & artificial ingredients).

I even think my husband might like it. :)
