It’s been pretty hectic lately. I don’t remember what I had for lunch. Ah yes, I had lunch out because of a business meeting. It was a garden burger. Ugh, I got really sleepy afterwards and had trouble concentrating the rest of the afternoon. It’s probably full of high glycemic load carbs.

But for dinner I had Raw Spaghetti. I didn’t get a chance to snap a video of it tonight, but you can see it in tomorrow’s post (click on the Raw Spaghetti link) where I had leftovers for lunch.

Lots of video love today!

Breakfast

The insides of the rolls are lined with raw hummus. Adds some flavor and keeps it from being too dry.

I eat the fruit about an hour after starting work. The delay gives my stomach a chance to empty — allegedly it’s best to eat fruit on an empty stomach. Plus, I like to try to get most of my calories in the morning so I can burn them off throughout the day. Grapefruit is one of my favorites.

Lunch

Lunch out with a colleague from work. Had a garden burger — definitely not raw. Building & maintaining work relationships in this way is a challenge for raw foodies. Well, for me at least.

Dinner

Back on the bandwagon!

I think I forgot to mention that the sauce on top is avacado and lemon juice, blended.

Dessert was a nice and welcome surprise from my wife!  YUM!
