No longer raw

This follow up post has been long overdue, but better late than nothing right?

As many of you probably already know, I quit my raw vegan challenge on Day 100 due to a number of reasons; namely fulfilling its purpose, health complications and pressure from friends and family.

Today, a month after my 100-day mark, I don’t entirely regret quitting the challenge. I do, however acknowledge the complications that came with it:

Meat makes me uncomfortable, Steak makes me sick, Junk food makes me gag (almost automatically)

So I’m going to stick to home-cooked or gourmet lean meat for now. And even though I had been vegan (refer to my first couple of posts) for almost eight months, I’m glad I get natural vitamin B12 now and I no longer feel like I’m going crazy.

I can eat chocolate now (and that’s not necessarily a good thing)

With the pleasures of indulging in some creamy milk chocolate, come the skin problems, weight-gain and inconsistent fluctuations in blood sugar (all big No-No's).

I don’t want to ruin what I’ve done over the past 100 days

Eating raw in more ways than one, made me healthier; my skin became clear and almost glowing and I became lighter and more active.

And so in an attempt to retain what I have gained (in value), while avoiding health complications and pressure from friends and family, I have referred to health guru and fitness specialist, Fahad Al Yahya (blogger on 248am- the bsides and 42) to tailor-make me a diet and fitness plan that meets my working schedule and work-out preference.

I'll be posting the diet and daily updates very soon.
