I'm in Athens, Greece celebrating my Birthday and it seems that there's meat all over every menu: meat and french fries. what to do? what to do?
Actually the Mediterranian diet is purported to be one of the healthiest you can find, but it's not very 'raw'. So far, I've been eating a lot of salads for lunch and making sure to have a salad dinner while passing on the french fries.
One of the great things about being away from home in a place where you're a tourist is that you do a lot of walking and, hopefully, a lot of water-drinking and sweating. There's been no lack of either while I've been here. The temps are in the mid 90s, and we've had several bottles of water, worn out a pair of sandals, and sat for lunch and dinner in various restaurants (all in 2 days). We also had some smoothies and fresh juice after spending a few hours roaming like architects around the Acropolis.
You can make better choices with every meal and still have a great experience away from home. I even shared some real Baklava for dessert and relished every bite.
Bon Voyage!

On Being a Flexitarian
Hey Now, I thought I'd stop by and lay some of this stuff on you right now. What am I going through? Just living the life.
When I started on the Raw Food Detox Diet, I was just trying something out; enjoying a good book; and following some recipes. Wow! It's become so much more than that. Though I no longer consider myself being on the "diet"; I do consider my diet and habits to have been so much improved after trying it out for over 5 months. Yes, over 5 months.
I never went fully raw, but I did make it about 70-80% of the time and that was my goal. Now I am making better choices every day. Take today for instance: I juiced some oranges for breakfast, had a raw salad for lunch, munched a little in the middle of the evening, and had veggies for dinner. I feel great, my skin is looking tight, I've lost about 10 lbs (and have started working out a little to put on some muscle), and feel as good if not better than I've felt in my life.
Call is Flexitarianism: eating better for your body and your health, making better choices day in/day out, and not skimping on the desserts when you really want them.
Have you made any improvements in your diet and exercise pattern over the last 8 months?
