Gettin' Geared Up for the Challenge!


Just over a week left until the start of Bunny Berry's 100 Day Raw Fu Challenge! I'm gettin' ready-can't wait! My personal goals are to be completely vegan and very, very high Raw for these 100 days. I don't want to be disappointed if I find 100% isn't achievable for me. Maybe if I had a dehydrator, I would think I could be 100% Raw. I have been eating vegetarian since I started this blog, and lots of days I eat vegan all day. My Raw intake is increasing every day (see lunch above!). Cutting out yogurt and kefir has been a bit of a challenge, no problem losing cheese and milk though. I've also just removed gluten from my diet, due to my mother's recent diagnosis of Celiac Disease. She carries two genes for gluten-sensitivity/Celiac, meaning I am guaranteed one. I think the prudent move for me is to go gluten-free, ASAP. Luckily, this falls right in line with a Raw diet!

Have you tried soy yogurt?

I have, but I am trying to keep soy out of my diet as well. I don't even eat it that often. I think if I increase my probiotics another way, I won't miss it so much. :)
