why I stopped using Lite'n'Easy

For a couple of months I was on the 1500kcal program from Lite'n'Easy and loved it. However, the dinners started to pile up in my freezer, which is not a big one. Instead I was eating more fruits and salads for the end of the day. Personally the big meal of the day was always lunch time, so I was struggling to eat the warm meals for dinner. This is not any critics on the dinners themselves ... I even laud for them, as for frozen meals they are pretty good and tasty. I am German, I know what I am talking about ;o)

Maybe I felt like a change again (oh yes, again) trying something else, what not everyone does. I got a bit inspired by Steve Pavlina who turned to raw food last year, I think. Thus, I increased my raw vegan food level over the last couple of weeks to a degree that I can say now, I am 80% raw. Yes, no cooked meal and most of the products are organic. I highly value organic food for several reasons anyway.

For my birthday I invested into myself and ordered a blender to dig into the smoothies world. Don't mix it up with the smoothies you get from some juicing franchises, my smoothies don't contain any yogurt and ice cream (animal products). It is a steep learning curve, but I am loving it. I ordered the blender from Raw-Pleasure here in Australia. Jenny and her team are wonderful people. In my big parcel I also received a book about green smoothies. This book inspired me even further to go even more green than raw food can be. It is a bit of a challenge to get kale here in Australia, but will find some one day.

Any differences? Oh yes, I lost 7 kilos this year already. I can't really go more further down, otherwise I won't be myself anymore. I have a pretty good night sleep and I normally don't need an afternoon nap, except when the seminars at Uni are really boring. ;o) I am still experimenting and some green smoothies are quite a challenge, but then I add some Agave syrup and all is good.

P.S. Getting my thesis done .. the last days now
