Lately I have been trying to eat mostly fruits and veggies. You would think that eating raw would mean that that was almost all you be eating anyway but that is not necessarily true. I have eaten 99% raw most days and still felt poorly because I was eating too many nuts, seeds and dried fruits. These foods are wonderful and wonderful for you but they should make up very little of your diet, especially if you are trying to lose weight.
I have been making a lot of smoothies lately and it has really helped. They are fast, fill me up and get me through my morning. By lunch time I am ready to fix a fast and easy salad or crackers and veggies. I can really tell a difference on the days that I have crackers. I love them and tend to eat too many of them and then end up feeling a little sluggish later in the day. On the days that I stick almost totally to fruits and veggies I have more energy. I am really working on only having a few crackers with my salad or veggies, and I am better about that than I used to be, but it is something that I have to be constantly on guard about.
What helps you in your day and what is your biggest challenge? Enjoy your smoothie!
