Raw Update

Since last posting, my diet has been comprised of almost all raw foods. Social events make it hard to go 100%, but I can usually make it from Monday AM through Saturday afternoon without wavering. And it helps to be dating someone who likes sushi...

A sample day's menu would look like:

7AM - NanoGreens10 and 1 or 2 raw eggs
8AM - 2/3 lbs. raw beef, 2 raw eggs, tbsp. raw honey
11AM - 1 quart raw milk
2PM - 2/3 lbs. raw beef, 2 raw eggs, tbsp. raw honey
4PM - 1 or 2 raw eggs
530PM - 1 quart raw milk
8PM - 2/3 lbs. raw beef, 1-2 oz. raw cheese, 2 raw eggs, tbsp. raw honey

Occasionally I'll add some raw butter to the meat meals, and if I can't seem to fit a feeding in every 3 hours or so I'll pop another 1-2 raw eggs between meals. Same for late night, where I'll often pop 1 raw egg right before bed.

Additionally, I've attempted to include some sweet potato on workout days in a feeding all by itself about an hour after my last meat meal. However, due to work schedule, this can sometimes be as late as 10PM and I'm just not feeling like cooking and eating anything. So instead, I've been letting my 'social' eating on the weekends take care of the planned 'carb ups'.

How do I feel? In a word - AMAZING. I'm impressed with the increase in muscularity without too much added body fat, and it's quite a feeling to down up to a whole pound of raw meat and not even feel full. Raw food is so easily digested by our systems that it takes few resources to deal with large amounts of food. That means our system has the freedom to deal with other things, like recovery from exercise, etc.

At Back2Health, we promote efficient and effective exercise - and while few if any of our clients will follow a raw food diet, the same general philosophy for exercise applies with regard to eating: get the most out of the least.
