A salad a day



via

When the need to shed a couple of kg's off my rear is on the agenda it's the raw goodness of fruit and veg that's called on to lend a helping hand. Whilst I'm off to a good start I can't help but reconsider 'tomorrow as a fresh start' as I'm sipping away at my tea and staring down scrambled, fried, and poached eggs topping freshly toasted sourdough chunks served up to the long-weekenders at my local cafe (it's a long weekend in my neck of the woods). My inner taskmaster is quick to snap me out of the thought of bailing on this health kick, thank goodness. Angela Hardison tells me it's not going to be so  bad either. As I read through her posts she explains that it's all about making sure what you eat consists of 50% or more of raw food. Pretty simple really.

So, as the diet goes raw over the next few weeks I will be gaping stupidly over this site as I allow my eyes to feast on a collection of the yummiest food photography I've come across. Actually, It's proving to be a great source of salad inspiration (see above) and I even found a raw dessert - Baklava completely grain/dairy/gluten/processed sugar free!

  4. Good luck with this challenge... I can't imagine eating 50% raw food, other than a few pieces of fruit every day I coook almost everything. It's very cold where I grew up so I've always preferred hot food (even though I love in a much milder climate now.) Of course, these photos do make raw food look very tempting. Be sure to let us all know how this goes!
    xox,
