And this time I am going to be much less demanding of myself to be incredibly high raw.
The strive for perfection became the enemy of my good. This time around I will just start out doing what I can and not be so damn hard on myself.
I am coming off a very low carb diet (again) and this time I was so extreme (seeing a pattern here) in my low carb idealism I was eating close to no carbs.. and ended up having an "extremely abnormal" EKG.. several times.. and had to come immediately out of ketosis.
Right now I am waiting on blood tests and a referral to a cardiologist but I am pretty sure it's electrolyte imbalance and (extremely low potassium, calcium and magnesium) as I was next to never eating dairy and hardly a green veggie in site..
I wanted to lose weight so bad that now I have screwed up my health.
I am starting out with just an occasional salad and maybe a nice low glycemic green juice every once in a while.
I will talk here about allot more that just Raw foods and health too.. I have so much going on and I know I need a place to let it all hang out.
Today I remembered how much I love veggie wraps made the Summer roll style.. and I will be making some soon with a few shrimp in them (not going Vegan or even Vegetarian). No extreme anything for me... ever again.
I may count a few calories here and there. Not sure. I feel if I can eat high volume water foods (fruits and veggies) I may not have to worry about calories.. but on the other hand I may be kidding myself.
I made a huge pot of Red Swiss Chard and added a bunch of roasted garlic and some white beans. Since being low carb for so long I am first starting off with just adding some damn veggies!!!
