a raw vegan diet plan

we had a vegetarian lunch today. i had a vegetarian "fish" noodle soup and paul had a vegetarian "char kuay teow" which is a singaporean vegetarian version of fried noodles. i should have taken a picture to show you folks on the other side of the ocean.. anyway to me, its a pretence to be healthy! not very far from ordering a big mac, extra large french fries and diet coke! so we also ordered a plate of bittergourd stir fry

,

and a plate of petai beans (the stinkiest beans you can find!) but its supposed to be good for anyone who has diabetes, coz it has detox cleansing effect. i think you can only get petai in asia, particularly indonesia. i love it.

that's petai in its original form and petai cooked with yummy chilli and beans






















read this link for more information on petai, very interesting

so anyway, as i suspected might happen and expected, i felt so lousy the whole afternoon, not because the food wasn't good, it was really yummy but more because it's cooked food! i think my body is rejecting the cooked food and telling me to go back to my raw diet... i guess, the body knows what is good for itself and once it's found it, it makes sure that i know and make me suffer if i don't do it!!!

stop that stupid "i told you so!!!" "you should have known better!!!" mantra.... i know i know, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak!

so anyway... i told myself i am going to do it. tomorrow, i will make time to write a 30day menu of raw cuisine and follow it. as much as i can coz i know i am away last week of november in the land where certified organic vegetable practically doesnt exist, and even if it does, i will wonder how legitimate it is.. which is sad really coz i am sure in china, they do have organic vegetables, they just have such a bad reputation!

and i am going to focus on the greens, not the nuts and the fruits, which may overload on the fats (from nuts) and the sugar (from fruits)

wish me luck!

  2. I know you can do this. The daunting task of change happens as soon as you accept what you already know what needs to happen. You know what needs to happen, so now you are on your way. Way to go!
