HCLFRV Days 3 & 4!

Recap: I am now following a high carbohydrate, low fat, mostly raw vegan lifestyle. This "diet" is also called Raw Till 4. This is my food diary.

Exercise; 45 min Uphill Hike/30 mins of Yoga

6 Bananas
3 Apples
1 Pear

Really wish I had found cronometer sooner! Better late than never. This is probably the first time in my life I have reached actual healthy levels of nutrition daily. If you are wondering about your own diet, sign up for an account and type in what you ate today! Cronometer helped me to realize I was simply NOT eating enough calories! More calories = more energy for exercise and for doing the things that I love! Yay!

Day 4

Exercise: 30 minutes of yoga, two 30 minute hikes, mostly uphill

Breakfast Smoothie:
6 Bananas
3 Apples
= 914 Calories

Snack:
1 Honeydew Melon 
= 460 Calories

(yes, I ate the entire thing!)








Lunch Salad:
3 Cups Romaine
2 Shredded Carrots
1 Tomato
Drizzled in Lime juice mmmm so good

Lunch Smoothie:
2 Bananas
1 Apple
1 Cup Romaine
= 431 Calories for Lunch

Dinner:
1 Sweet Potato
2 Small Red Potatoes
(baked, no oil, no salt)
Sliver of Tofu
2 cups shredded kale 
4 cups steamed broccoli
1/4 Avocado
= 694 Calories

89% of nutritional targets achieved! Oh yea, that's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!!! Dinner was a bit random but I'm working on cleaning out the fridge! 

Also, I just have to note, my digestion has been absolutely fantastic since day 1. Which makes me so happy. I am used to terrible (terrible as in painful indigestion) gas, probably due to poor food combining. I have had ZERO headaches, even though many people say they get headaches beginning this diet due to detox - which I probably just don't have much to detox honestly. Even before this way of eating I ate super healthy. It just wasn't ENOUGH. Not enough calories, carbs, or nutrition! I only ever paid attention to my protein content, and there is so much more to diet than that! I don't even have to worry about protein, it's all taken care of from fruits & veggies! So awesome.

Namaste,
Mary
