Today I list major nutrients for the day, and note a new physical change.

Date:   1/7/2006 11:26:09 PM ( 18 y ago)

I thought I would provide more specific information about a typical eating day for me, this first week of raw food. Today was typical insofar as what I ate; it differs only in that I didn't eat breakfast until noon, so it was more like a brunch. My "lunch" was small enough to qualify as a snack. After dinner I had another snack. Snacks are typical for me.

A NEW CHANGE

I have noticed another change since starting the raw life: today I noticed that my face has two patches of lighter pigmentation, one on either side of my mouth. What the heck is that about?? I have medium/dark skin, so it's very noticeable to me, although my friend didn't notice it until I pointed it out to her. This should be interesting.

I also have a "stitch" in my lower right side. Could be part of my digestive issues. My diarrhea lessened greatly yesterday but I'm not totally in the clear today.

OK, on to the meals!

A big thanks to renn who pointed me to the vegsoul yahoo group, which appears to direct a lot of information towards African Americans. I am checking them out!
