We already have about 3 feet of snow on the ground and are expecting about 1 foot more tonight.
I don't know that I have ever seen this much snow at one time....even when I lived in Denver!
I decided that since I am probably not going back to work until at Tuesday I should try a few days of the 80 10 10 raw food diet.
For those of you who unfamiliar, the 80-10-10 diet ( also known as 811) is a raw vegan diet comprised of 80% sweet fruit, 10% protein and 10% fat.
Proteins come mainly from greens, fat from the fruit and greens and from a limited amount of raw nuts and seeds.
The program was devised by Dr Douglas Graham.
You can find more information on his website http://foodnsport.com/
I think as a long term way of eating it is not for me, but in the short term I would like to try it and see what happens.
I like the idea of a very simple diet, but I am a foodie so it won't last.
I am not going anywhere for a few days so I will turn up the heater, turn on the sun lamps and pretend I am on vacation in the Caribbean.
Tonight at the grocery store I got quite a few looks as I stocked up.
Everyone else was going crazy buying bread, milk and lots of toilet paper ( don't get me started on the toilet paper thing!)... I was stocking up on watermelons, cantelope, and bananas.
We will see how it goes.
I have included a few pics from my walk home ..
enjoy!
