One thing they don't tell you about raw
Hi all!
What they don't tell you is that living raw can get expensive!
I have been raw for about 2 months now. We are a family
of 4 and I am the only one raw. We are finding that our
grocery bill has really gone up since I started. Initially
I went through making the exotic dishes but one cannot
keep this up all the time. My basic routine is now
breakfast:green smoothie + nut milk & fruit smoothie
lunch: Salad + crackers
Dinner: Green smoothie or juice + fruit and/or crackers
Even under these circumstances I am finding that
it is getting expensive. I try to follow the EWG article
"Pesticides in Produce" to buy organic for high pesticide foods.
I also do a lot of online foraging to buy bulk/cheap items where
I can. What does'nt help is that I am not really seeing the
benefits many tout. I feel really tired by early evening and cannot
say I feel vibrant. In fact, I do not feel much different compared
to my previous veg cooked diet! I plan to persevere to see
where it goes.
Anyway, how do you all keep it in check? How do you all
maintain a sensible budget? Any tips you care to share?
Any favorite online stores where you get your stuff?
Many thanks for reading.
Regards,
Live
