Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Hi all, Hope you are all well. Anyone fancy doing a vegan meal somewhere in central London on either 10th or 17th March (saturday)? Can anyone suggest any nice restaurants to go to? We could maybe go to that place John recommended afterwards for a drink or something...anyway, let me know if you want to come and I'll sort something out. take care, Hayley P.S. I can't remember who is was who was doing the raw food thing (I'm trying it for two weeks to see how I get on but have a feeling it will end after two weeks as I love food so much!!), but you might want to try contacting the FRESH network (Fruitarian & Raw Energy Support and Help) for some advice/information. I'll find the url and stick it in the 'Links' section on the egroup site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 well good luck with it Jack - i hope you know what you are doing. I, however, like to cook some food, especially potatoes, that wonderfully compex starch food. Chips, sauted potatoes, mash, french fries, jacket spuds, croquettes, etc, etc. Plus aubergines, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, pasta, rice, buckwheat, millet, oats, etc, etc. I honestly believe you are cutting out more than you should. It all sounds very extremist to me. There are some that believe you can get by just by eating fruit. I wouldn't put it past someone saying that they get by just by breathing the right way, getting their energy from the very air itself! Be gentle with yourself and beware of isolating yourself completely from shared meals with friends and family. We can be vegan and still eat a healthy balance of vegetables, grains, fruit, pulses and processed stuff. We can eat all of this stuff and it will make us healthy and will help us to create compassionate lives together, free (hopefully) from harming human and animal life. Like I said, be gentle with yourself and your body and best of luck with changing to the vegan way of life. Mark x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 It's me and I've done 10 days now of all raw food, no animal or dairy etc. I have never stopped animal foods or milk before so it's hard and you do crave cooked food A LOT. I found these: The desire for cooked food is not caused by hunger. Eating cooked food is a physio-chemical addiction which has nothing to do with the normal requirements of the cells. The battle to overcome cooked-food addiction must be won to achieve lasting health, peace, and prosperity on Earth. http://www.eco-action.org/dt/rawfood.html Also: Cravings can be a major problem during the transition to a raw/living foods diet, and may take more than a year to dissipate. After you have been on such a diet long enough, the cravings will usually dissipate. http://www.rawfoodists.com/articles/199908/19990826-08.html Nigel. Nigel.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Oh, I did do a 2 day fast so I haven't eaten cooked food for 12 days. I do think that uncooked food is 100% more healthy and better for you and that cooked food is just a major addiction, try it for 2 weeks and see how much you crave it. Just gotto get used to eating raw that's all:-) Nigel. Thursday, February 01, 2001, 12:07:38 PM, blue143: bec> Hi all, bec> Hope you are all well.
