energy levels and raw food
Posted by: dinesh75 ()

Hey guys,

I am trying to become as raw as possible. Currently, am eating raw food through out the day, and then eat cooked food at night.

I notice that my energy levels after eating cooked food are higher. I feel slightly listless during the day (not as energetic).

This is what I am doing typically:
Breakfast: Juice of some greens (kale, spinach etc), celery, an apple, an orange, carrots, maybe beets, ginger.

Mid morning snack: a banana

Lunch: Veggies- broccoli, radishes, carrots, olives, sometimes pepper.

Dinner: Indian wheat flatbread, some veg stir fry curry, and a side of raw cucumber, tomatoes and onion.

So what is going on?

Thanks.

Sounds like you're just not eating enough food! Your biggest (most calorie-dense) meal is the cooked dinner, so it's no wonder you feel more lively afterwards. Try eating more fruit, especially...veggies alone won't provide much energy.

I agree with the enchantress. Most of the raw foods you are eating don't offer that much energy. If you want energy, eat more sweet fruit fruits. Try eating 3 pounds of tangerines for breakfast.
