It’s true, but despite that I haven’t got enough things nor enough willpower to go completely raw, especially when I’d have to be making separate meals for my husband and son, and there are days I’m hard pressed to cook just one depending on how I feel, so I know my husband would be mixing ramen and things in the mean time, which isn’t raw.

I do want to get healthier without resorting to diet pills, but we have to take the steps necessary to improve the diet overall, instead of trying to take short cuts which set is up for failure, or relapse.

There’s been a lot of talk on the parenting forum that I’m on about “going raw”. What does that mean? It means eating a lot more fresh, non-processed foods, to help cleanse your system and also to help you with your diet, and losing weight.

Several Mom’s on there have jumped on to the 30 day raw food challenge that chef Alissa Cohen is doing. They say that it helps you lose weight in ways that are a lot better than taking a diet pill and it makes it easier to eat more small meals throughout the day and also means that you get more from your food.

Given I’m not going grocery shopping again until Wednesday or Thursday I think I’m going to be perusing a few more sites, even going 50% raw will do me a world of good and will probably help everyone in the house overall. It’s not going to be easy…very attached to our junk food we are, but given that we’re trying to cut back on “eating out” and “eating junk” and “eating junk while out” this may very well be an excellent way to go about it.

There will be updates on this!
