Haha! I have started over in my days. What the hell? 2 days after my little slip up, I had 3 more cooked meals, even had a taco from Taco Bell (a food I don't even normally eat cause I try to be gluten-free vegan)! Ahhh! My digestion is just getting back to calm 5 days later! It was just a messy week and I needed to start fresh. Although, I still keep in mind that it's sort of like 18 days.
Today I've had:
4 bananas + blueberries smoothie
distilled water (amino acid supplements)
6 bananas + blueberries smoothie
Because I've been more active the past couple of days, I'm trying to get closer to 3,000 calories. On a cooked diet, I on average got about 1,500 a day. That kept my weight at a low 110-115lb, while doing very little exercise. I find that on the 80/10/10 raw diet, I have to consume closer to 2,000-2,200 in order to avoid low blood sugar and the resulting anxiety and irritability. I'm still unsure about how my caloric needs increase when my activity goes up. Yesterday I was very active and still only did 2,200 calories. I woke up in the middle of the night with a low blood sugar attack. So, evidently, if I'm more active I need to go towards at least 2,500-2,700. I guess it's sort of trial and error.
I have to say though, this diet is extremely easy to prepare. I know I can't just live off bananas and greens forever, but for right now, it makes the diet enjoyable, simplistic and affordable.
