Weight: 166.2lbs (from 170lbs) If you’re following my weight, yes I gained .2 lbs somewhere. But I attribute it to an imcomplete BM. Ya know how you sometimes cut them short? That’s pretty much what happened.
Days without alcohol and coffee: 6
Symptoms: Slight sinus pressure. Engorged penis.
Day 5 turned out to be a walk in the park compared to Day 4. I woke up feeling rather refreshed, making me feel optimistic about the rest of the day.
BREAKFAST:
I had the left over juice Nicki made before she went to work. Don’t tell her but it sucked. It tasted like a carrot threw up in a celery’s mouth. I can’t really blame her as we are still learning fruit/veggie combinations that work well together. If you have any great recipes, leave them in the comment section below. We would love to try some different juices. Hell, I’d LOVE to try anything that tasted better than the vegetable abortion from this morning.
I thought it would be ironic to drink it out of a Newcastle pint glass
LUNCH:
I packed some snow peas, an apple, a banana, and some trail mix along with the left over hummus dip and zucchini pasta from Rawvolution from Day 4. Unfortunately, we were busy shooting most of the day and I only ate the hummus dip. Making me especially hungry for dinner…
I didn't even get to nosh on these today.
DINNER:
I was feeling like Mr. Moneybags tonight so I decided I would take Nicki to a nice raw dinner somewhere. She’s been confined to the same boring stuff all week so she was of course ready to “pig out.” Since Shay and I tried Rawvolution the day before I thought I would visit Planet Raw in Santa Monica who also specialize in raw/vegan/organic foods. The atmosphere was a little less beatnik compared to Rawvolution, and wasn’t as crowded. We were served waters to start (I know, high rollers) which came with no ice. So if you like you water cold like all the other 6 billion humans in the world, ask for extra ice.
The menu was bigger than Rawvolutions, but being the noob I am, it might have well been written in french. I ordered a “Bacon Western Double w/Fries.” Normally this would be a no brainer at a regular restaurant, but you never know what you’ll get because every item on the menu has quotation marks around it. So if it says “Bean & Cheese Burrito,” you will probably get something that resembles a salad with zucchini in it. I gotta tell ya, I have a feeling this raw diet business was invented by zucchini farmers. Every dadgum item on the menu is comprised of at least 50% zucchini. Whatever, I digress. Nicki order a “Nacho” platter, and we shared a “California Roll” as an appetizer. Upon receiving my “burger” I found myself staring at a plate of spinach and cabbage. I was instructed to sift through the forrest of green to find the flax seed cracker underneath it all that was the “bun” of my burger. Then she showed me the top of the burger which seemed to be hiding underneath what I could only explain as edible loose gravel. The patty was made of a blend of nuts and mushroom. It had regular pickles and condiments that resembled ketchup and mustard. Once I got a handle on it I took a bite. My first reaction, delicious. My second reaction, I need a napkin. I had half an avocado sitting on my face. But at this point, I’m just happy everything is decent and tasty.
We washed everything down with some Kombucha, which honestly, I still haven’t the faintest idea what it is, but I’m told it’s good for you and can make you feel tipsy. So I ordered a second glass and inquired about purchasing a bottle. The roll came last and made the only good picture of the night as the lighting was comparable to a Pink Floyd Laser show.
California Roll Raw Style
We decided that dessert was in order so we ordered a “strawberry cheesecake.” It actually was close to what you’d hope for as far as taste goes. It was very nutty and sweet thanks to the cacao chocolate that was sprinkled all over it. Definitely a much needed treat.
So $82 later, we left Planet Raw and were happy with our meal. It was either that or I was high on kombucha. It had to have been that because God knows if I’m spending EIGHTY-TWO hard earned American dollars on ONE MEAL, I better be high on drugs. Who knows, and who cares, just pass the kombucha.
See you tomorrow.

Sounds delicious :S Iv been considering doing it ever since Shay started but I just dont have the willpower at the moment. If I do end up doing it though, I think it will be just regular fruit and veggies and possibly juice if I found a cheap enough juicer.
You’re doing so well. Keep it up
There’s my favortie combination of juicing for “immunity” it was 4 celery stalks, 4 carrots, 3 sprigs parsley, and 2 cloves of garlic. BE WARNED, it was spicy (from the garlic) and could possibly inflict BM’s. Keep on rockin man!
Great read! You should be a writer.
For better tasting juice, you should add sweet apples, oranges, or tomatoes….fruits always make the juice sweeter and more delectable. Good job on your progress; keep up the great work!!!

Try apple, carrot and ginger. It is a good “starter” combination.
Also, try dinner soups. In the morning I like fruity drinks. In the evening I choose the savory blends like kale, peppers, onions, garlic, tomato, cilantro. It makes an elegant first course.
My biggest recommendation for something yummy as far as juice goes is mango or peaches, the mango for sure gives you a thicker, more smoothie-like texture. And mango goes good with berries or melon, throw it in with anything.
Also, I’m not sure if you meant just juices or recipes in general but this recipe is delicious!
-1 medium eggplant or mixed eggplant and zucchini,peeled, 1/4″dice approx 4 cups
-1 cup tomato, 1/4″ dice
-1 sweet bell pepper, 1/4″ dice
-¼ cup red onion,or more to taste, 1/4″ dice
-¼ cup olives 1/4″ dice
dressing:
½ cup sundried tomato, soaked
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons agave
3 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons chiffonade fresh basil
1 clove garlic, or more to taste
Preparation
prepare dressing ingredients in magic bullet or blender, pour over rest of ingredients,and mix well. good right away or can be marinated several days in fridge.
*I use 2 yellow summer squash and one zucchini (in case you don’t like eggplant) and did all the veggie ingredients in a 1/4 in. mandolin slicer and that worked really well.

Kombuchaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Wow. Ive got to tell you that you totally got ripped off at that restaurant last night man. You could have made the same meal at home for like 5 bucks or less. Vegetables are the cheapest thing you could buy, and super easy to prepare. Also, Kombucha does not get you “high”. It is fermented black tea with less than .5% alcohol. It is super good for you and helps you detox. Good luck and please don’t pay $82 ever again for a cracker with spinach on it, if not for yourself, do it for the children.
