Raw Foods Diet: Days 31 and Beyond
First of all, I would like to warn you that this is a very long post. This isn’t a conventional blog, and this isn’t a conventional blog post either. I hope you get something out of it.

I would also like to apologize for taking so long to write this entry. I had gotten my computer stolen, and had yet to receive the insurance money to fund the cost of buying a new one. Unfortunately, the public computers at my apartment complex are not the best, but I have decided to just try to do the best I can regardless. That is all anyone can hope for, right?

Another unfortunate development is that I am also unable to fully analyze the blood tests I had done. The results were E-Mailed to me, but in PDF format. These computers can’t read that format, so I am going to have to wait to give an objective analysis of my blood work. Furthermore, I won’t be able to finish making the Week 4 (plus two days) Graphs, since my graphing software was on my computer. Do not fret, it is only a matter of time before everything will be back to normal.

Many of you will probably be wondering what I ate the day after the raw vegan foods diet had ended, and after my final blood test was completed. Scratch that, I know for a fact many of you are wondering, based on the number of comments and E-Mails I got alone.

Raw Foods Diet: Day 30
Well, well, well. This is it. Day 30. The last straw. The final day. The big burrito. The captain enchilada.

It’s been one interesting ride. There have been ups, and downs, but overall it was an extremely worthwhile experience. Unfortunately, I will not be able to put up any charts, or graphs, as my computer was unfortunately, and mysteriously, stolen from my storage locker. Fortunately, I have renter’s insurance, so I should be able to get a new one soon.

Raw Foods Diet: Day 28
Four weeks! Now all that is left is the “some change” part, aka two days. Two days people! I can hardly believe it. The last of the graphs will NOT be included in this entry. Why not? Well, even though it is week 4, I think I should wait until Day 30 to do the last of the graphs. This way I can really show what changes, if any, took place over the 30 day period, instead of the 28 day period.

Raw Foods Diet: Day 27
The days are normalizing now, and I am looking forward to this being over. I am very glad I took this on, but I am excited about all the new challenges, so I am looking forward to the start of others!

If organic farming is the natural way, shouldn’t organic produce just be called ‘produce’ and make the pesticide-laden stuff take the burden of an adjective?

Raw Foods Diet: Day 26
Sleeping has become normalized. So that’s good. It’s not exactly back to the 8:30/9:00 P.M. - 4:30 A.M. situation, but that’s okay. I’m getting enough sleep, I am waking up feeling pretty refreshed, so I can’t complain.

Raw Foods Diet: Day 25
Today I woke up very parched. I have been increasing my water intake and drinking quite a lot, so I am not too sure what is going on. When I went to drink more water, I could feel the water going down. It was a very odd feeling, but very interesting at the same time.

Raw Foods Diet: Day 24
I have definitely begun to count down to Day 30, but it still seems like quite a ways away. I know that probably isn’t going to make it feel like it is coming any quicker…

Oddly enough, I find no information on the Internet about how to successfully transition off of a raw foods diet. Is it possible? The only personal experiences I have found have been unsuccessful, so I hope this doesn’t foreshadow anything. I’m thinking that taking it carefully is the only way to go.

Raw Foods Diet: Day 22
It felt like I slept in forever today. I got up at 8:30, but felt like I got up at 2 in the afternoon. That’s one plus of going to bed around 9:30-10:00 I guess. Still struggling with the sleeping schedule. I thought it was rock solid, but I am having some difficulty with it. If anyone has any advice, please let me know!
