I’m at the beginning of yet another transformation. I’ve been eating “raw” (vegan) for the past week. The day begins with fruit, usually oranges, apples, bananas. Nothing but fruit until at least lunch. Then a very large salad with practically any kind of vegetable (mixed greens, romaine, apples, strawberries, celery, carrots, snap peas, onions, peppers, etc.) and balsamic vinegar as a dressing (sometimes with tofu, black beans, or chic peas, not raw…). The vinegar goes well with the strawberries and apples. Sometimes I have a handful of almonds during the day.
My frequent dinner routine: shredded wheat and blueberries with rice milk.
I’m dropping weight like a stone. I’m never hungry.
So, why this crazy change? I recently woke up to discover (!!!) my healthy weight is 175. I haven’t weighed that since high school. For the past 40 years I’ve thought my “normal” weight should be around 220. Ha! That would be obese. And I passed that mark 25 years ago. Anyway, my goal is 175. According to my projections, I should reach that on August 8th. I’m already down 20 lbs and feeling much better.
