i dont know about you but i dont see this lifestyle as a prison sentence.

 

isn't the purpose of eating this way to improve the *quality* of your life

right NOW?....if you feel bad because of a hormone inbalance, and those foods

make you feel better, have them.

 

if you really crave chocolate, have some high quality chocolate, as little as

satisfies you.

 

if you want coke, have diet coke and/or as little as satisfies you.

 

if you want bread, have sprouted bread...

 

the day has not been made when i will punish myself by denying such strong

cravings...

 

but think about a few things, maybe the chocolate craving is your body

wanting manganese and magnesium, as well as other things in chocolate you need

during your monthly cycle...try something else high in those, and if it doesn't

work, eat the chocolate..

 

there could very well be something in the soda water (minerals), and the

bread as well that your body really needs...just because they are artificial and

processed does not mean the body is stupid and doesn't recognize it as the

easiest way to gain those nutrients...

 

the trick is to find another source of those.....

 

....once you try heroin (and i never have) don't expect the brain to be easily

satisfied with st. john's wort to feel good again....

 

and don't feel bad, i am pms'ing right now and the frosted flakes and milk

are doing me in...but it's noooooothing compared to what i USED to eat when i

was pms!

 

don't give food this much power over you, it's you who controls what you eat,

not the other way around, but obsessing over it puts the food in control....

if you want something, have it. then forget about it.

 

what have you got to lose?

 

5 minutes less on your death bed?

 

i, for one, when taking my last breath will not be thinking of the times that

i ate the wrong foods..... " gosh, anna, if you had only had water instead of

that milk shake that one day in march of 2005, you may have 2 more breaths

today.... " ....i don't think so...

 

the experts agree that raw food eating isn't going to make you live

longer...but your time alive is healthier...so stop worrying about it.

 

enjoy,

Oh dear I have reached an area I completly forgot to prepare for! I

can feel all I am working for slipping away because of hormones! I

want chocolate and coke and bread! I am trying very hard to stick to

the rf but it is all making me sick to my tummy. Help?

 

Love and kisses,

I reached an impasse like that too. I was becoming weak and lethargic. Then I

cracked my tooth on all the macadamia nuts. Cost me $2000 dollars to restore.

I've slipped away many times. I've just wanted to eat other things

than raw produce at times so I've gone ahead and done it. I don't

want to anymore and I want to stay raw for the rest of my life, one

day at a time, of course (12-step lingo). I don't know if it has

anything to do with hormones, men have them don't they? You can't

really get sick on raw but you can not want it. Just roll with the

punches and if you can't stay raw try again soon, that's all I've

done in the past. It's food, it's not a heroin addiction, it's hard

to take very seriously for a recovering cooked food eater.

I slipped this week, its not biggie. Im going to start anew Monday 3/21 for

spring. I did 90 days. I made an interesting observation though, that cooked

food is making me nauseaus.

hello my name is laura and I am a deadfoodaholic? My addiction started

when I was 13 months and my mother fed me my first biscuits and

gravey.....

 

Okay it would be kinda hard to take that sersiously...lol

 

Thank you for you stories, actually I drank a glass of coke and ate 3

non-stops (norwegian m & ms) and it all stopped I had crunchy tacos from

living foods.com for dinner (very tasty highly recommended) and it all

seems to have passed very quickly. even the cramps, the bloating, the

headache (ect) seem to have tampered off. I guess it was just a

conditioning craving mixed with a bit of panic.

 

Love and kisses,

Lu

Ahhh Lu, I do so understand! It is getting close to THAT time for me too

*laughs* and I am craving chocolate too! Have you tried raw cacao? You can get

these awesome candy bars made from a company called Dagoba that use raw cacao

beans. Their best is called Eclipse. It is 87% raw cacao! If you like dark,

slightly bitter chocolate, then you just might love these! Also, since I haven't

had a soft drink since last June (when I was diagnosed with diabetes) green tea

with raw honey has become one of my favorite drinks during THIS time of the

month. As for the bread...not sure what to tell you there, except maybe if you

do give in, try going for something with lots of nuts and seeds in it to

counter-balance the carb, or try one of the sprouted breads on the market now.

Good luck hun! And remember, if you fall off the wagon, just get back on board

tomorrow and make tomorrow THE BEST DAY EVER!
