Hello Hive family,
It’s the final day of my five-day uncooked raw food challenge, and I honestly can’t believe I made it to the finish line!
Truly, everything that has a beginning must have an end. Just last week, I was so anxious about how to stock up and prepare for this journey. But here we are, day five—and despite all the temptations, I stayed committed and saw it through.
What amazed me today is that I woke up with zero appetite and cravings. Imagine that! After days of longing for cooked food, it all just disappeared overnight. So far, I’ve only had a small bowl of sesame seeds and groundnuts with plenty of water, and I still feel fine.
The funniest part is that I had already planned my “first cooked meal” after this challenge, but now that the day is here, I don’t feel the urge. Only my palate is calling for something spicy, maybe a hot plate of pepper soup for starters.
Dinner will likely be late today because I still have my vegetable salad and a chilled bottle of my homemade hibiscus drink waiting in the fridge. By the way, that hibiscus drink is my special “Zoo Xclusive”—infused with more fruits for extra flavour. My family loves it so much they can’t get enough, and it always leaves me feeling satisfied.
Looking back, this journey has been rewarding. My expectations were met, and I feel lighter, with better bowel movement and an improved mood. I even think I may have lost a few inches. Overall, I feel great and more energised
I truly wish these benefits could continue even aafter returningto cooked meals. Maybe I’ll find a way to incorporate more raw food regularly into my diet.
Thank you so much for walking through this journey with me. Would you ever try a raw food challenge yourself? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Wishing you all a blessed weekend! 🌿✨
