…When you are hungry or thirsty, my eating of food or drinking will not fill your stomach; you must eat and drink for yourself.

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.

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!
