Frank & Rich, re: Protein. + lifestyle change.

[Guest guest]

Thankyou both for your input. I have begun eating larger quantities

of vegetables now, especially the greens, and I have cut out the

dried fruit, it had started to taste very sweet.

 

I am amazed at how quickly my taste buds have changed, (I was always

such a sugar baby). It seems that removing dried fruit from my diet

may well have been the last step that I needed to take to complete

my goal of becoming 100% raw.

 

Whilst the dried fruit did help during the transitioning stage, I am

happy now with the way my diet has evolved, (vegetables, fresh

fruits, some nuts and seeds), I haven't eaten any dried fruit since

friday, I have had no cravings, and no hypoglyceamic lows since then.

 

Like a lot of people, whose body chemistry had changed from

eating 'junk' foods, I often felt like food was controlling me. Not

any more, I am now out of the habit of weighing and calculating

calories, I have stopped weighing myself.

 

Since starting my gradual change to a raw lifestyle, I have found

myself taking an interest in things that I only noticed in passing

before, I have become more aware and sensitive to our environment

and the planet we live on.

 

I am constantly amazed and baffled as to the way my whole mental

state has changed, I feel so much more peaceful and calm these days

(and dare I say it, I actually think I have discovered a level of

intelligence within myself....been making some pretty clever

decisions lately)

 

I am sorry to ramble on so much, but I am so glad to have found this

site,there is so much valuable information, and currently it is the

only support group that I have.

 

Thanks again

Molly.

Molly,

 

You probably have a whole new ecosystem living in your gut. The old stuff

was greater in volume and demanded the substances of your craving. Now that

it has gone you are in a different world.

Peter I am so sorry I called you Frank. I dont even know a Frank so

I dont where that came from. However it was rather early this

morning......You're right I am in a different world, I just hope the

getting-peoples-name wrong bit doesn't last too long

No problem, Except I did not see a message for Frank!

Hi Rich & Peter,

I have been a vegetarian for a year a now and have been a raw fooder since

Jan 1, 2004. I was diagnosed with colitis 3 years ago. Still had a colon issues

up until Jan 1 which started with a 21 day cleaning followed by a wonderful raw

way of life (not a diet).I love my sprouts which provide natural enzymes for

easy digestion and energy for life. Thanks for your conversations on this group.

I guess that's an important point, about eating raw is not a diet,

it's a way of life.
