Greetings,
I’ve never been 100% raw, but from my experience eating/drinking raw until until lunch seriously transforms you and eliminates the cravings for crap…and trust me, I’m that girl who made white sugar, white flour and unhealthy fats my staple. After a couple of weeks of eating/drinking raw in the morning, I started noticing that my body/spirit didn’t want crap for breakfast – like, not even coffee with sugar and milk. I was dumbstruck! I’ve always been able to sucker my system into wanting garbage.
Anyway…just my two cents. And yeah, thanks to Zoe and odalys for the links to Raw Divas and the Dead Food List.
Dorispin and Huong:
I have found that transitioning properly is key. Part of that transition is preparation—having enough food on hand, having the right equipment, recipes, etc. Additionally, I feel that there is a mindset preparation; I needed to get rid of “diet” thoughts. I don’t think of this as a diet, but as a way to properly feed myself. I need to eat lots of food, more than on a SAD (Standard American Diet) to get the same amount of energy.
It took me a couple tries to go 100% raw because I didn’t know what I didn’t know . . . I have to experience some things in order to learn how to overcome obstacles in the future. There is no failing, just preparation.
