Raw Foods Diet the Wai Way - Day 1

Ok so this is my first day on the Wai Diet. I have eaten:

• 2 oranges and a handful of cashew nuts.

• Handful of sun dried apricots and cashew nuts.

• Fruit Salad (oranges, pineapple and cantaloupe (muskmelon) and small bowl of tomatoes/cucumber drenched in cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. I did intend to have avocado in it which is more filling to me but they are not ripe ? Tomorrow though!

• 2 Bananas and handful of cashew nuts

• Handful of sun dried apricots and cashew nuts

• More fruit salad and cashew nuts.

• I did have some water during the day – not much though.

And I am just about to have some freshly squeezed orange juice with an egg yolk (my body is used to egg yolk already but I am going to start with 1 egg yolk and build up to more during these few weeks). I intend to then finish the evening with more fruit salad.

UPDATE: I had more fruit salad as stated and also had a banana. The juice I had with egg yolk was fantastic - nothing beats freshly squeezed juice!

This isn’t going to be a typical day for me – well the fruit salad will be, but I won’t be eating cashews all day I will be relying more so on an avocado salad (because I love avocado and it keeps me full for longer). I must admit I was less prepared for my first day than initially thought, so will be off to get some more nuts other than cashews!

I did have a slight headache today and am not sure if that is because I am not used to having such a diet. I know that things get tough before you reap the rewards.

Overall I have had a good day. I have eaten when I have felt hungry (to see if you are hungry or just craving Wai suggests asking yourself whether you want to eat fruit – if not then it is most likely just a craving) and have had no cravings for cooked foods so far.
