I've been reading plenty of blogs on raw foodism, and how it can be a permanent lifestyle. For me, I am planning on doing this for only three weeks and did it in order to "cleanse" my body. But after doing my research, I am contemplating on changing my lifestyle to complete raw foodism. As a season yogi and overall health freak, this is most extreme health challenge I have done. I take Iron pills, as I am normally a vegetarian, as well as other vitamin supplements so I know I am meeting all of my nutritional needs. I eat enough during the day to feel satisfied, it just is all raw foods. This is the ideal lifestyle for someone like me who is always concerned about health and working out. This fits perfectly with the "yogi" lifestyle I lead because raw foodism doesn't require much working out because your body has a hard time sustaining energy. Doing yoga and maybe some light jogging is paired with raw foodism perfectly, also yogis are known to lead a "healthier" more "natural" lifestyle, as stereotypes go.
What was originally a three week cleanse may turn into a permanent lifestyle change for me. Raw foodism has immense benefits and gives you nutrients that cooked foods lack. After reading how horrible processed foods are on the body, and how they act like a "drug," I am ecstatic to challenge myself to see if I can do this.
Even if cupcakes do sound absolutely perfect right now.......
