Day 7 of Raw Challenge, Day 2 of Detox
I really thought I’d be starving when I woke up, but I wasn’t.
Weight this morning: 13st 5.5lbs so down 2lbs after the fast – that’s pretty cool 
General plan for detox is fruit monomeal for breakfast, green smoothie for lunch and a light dinner of salad items plus sprouts. Tera’s suggestion is to roll everything in a romaine lettuce leaf but maybe it’s me – I have no idea how to do that! If I roll it to make a long shape, it’s not wide enough and everything falls out; if I do it the other way, the “spine” breaks and everything falls out! If anyone would like to enlighten me as to how to achieve this feat, I’d be ever so grateful
Anyway, the idea is to have no cooked food (I refuse to count coffee, it’s not food 
), no fats (so no avocado) and no over-eating. Basically, keep it very simple and pure.
11:00am 1 cup coffee for the taste
12:30pm Just under half a Procomel melon
3:45pm Green smoothie of 1 papaya, 1 passion fruit, 225g blackberries, kale, water. Made about 800ml, had one big glass and refrigerated the rest
5:00pm Finished rest of smoothie + banana
6:30pm 1 romaine leaf with red pepper, cucumber, tomato, celery. “With” is accurate – it was supposed to be a roll (see above)
7:15pm Another one.
7:45pm Another one (I need the practice!) plus 1 large tomato
8:15pm 1 cup coffee
10:30pm Kiwi fruit

I’d stay away from the coffee or caffeinated drinks as they are high in toxins which you are trying to avoid. Try tea or coffee substitutes such as http://ayurvedicroast.com/
On using Romaine lettuce to wrap recipes, I’d try other leafy plants.
Hope this helps!

If I could find something that had the TASTE of coffee without the caffeine, I’d happily switch! I’ve tried lots of substitutes but I can’t find that taste anywhere else.
Lol, thanks – I think you’re right and I need to give up on the Romaine!
Try using boston lettuce for wraps, its easy to wrap up and lasts pretty long if you buy the little heads that are grown hydroponically. Plus they look cool!
I don’t think I know what boston lettuce is, I’ll look it up. Thanks!
