If you have followed me on social media you probably know I have been doing a 30 Day Plant-Based Eating Plan. It was hard at first, but now I feel I prefer to eat this way. Isn’t it interesting how we become conditioned by our eating habits? I would have considered myself to be an absolute meat eater (my father had a family butcher business and we had the BEST meat growing up).
Going plant-based, I have eliminated
- products with the use of synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, industrial solvents or chemical food additives
- packaged and processed foods
- breads
- bottled condiments
- cereals
- crackers
- cheese
- refined oils
- processed meats
- all animal products including seafood, dairy , and eggs.
So starting September 4 I am going to do #30Days RAW. Yes this is going to be a challenge but I have HUGE support with recipes and shopping lists and video tutorials.

Seven Benefits of RAW Food
- Cooked foods are usually harder to digest than raw foods
- Cooking nutrient-dense foods tends to destabilize some of their valuable enzymes and destroy certain antioxidants and vitamins.
- Raw foods also help alkalize the body and have less of a chance of fermenting in the gut and causing inflammation/autoimmune reactions.
- Many experts feel that foods heated over about 112 degrees Fahrenheit retain less vital enzymes
- Raw foods also supply enzymes (called exogenous enzymes). The greater our intake of exogenous enzymes, the easier time we have fully digesting nutrients without overly taxing our systems.
- They easily make their way through our digestive systems. The longer a food sits in our digestive tracts, the likelier it is to ferment and cause problems
- Likely to feel full when eating lots of raw foods from consuming plenty of fiber and nutrients, so this can help you curb cravings and eat less overall
