RE: [Raw Food]cravings / hungry/ allergies???

[Guest guest]

I think that I may have discovered what works for me in the mornings.

YEAH!!! My last two morning's breakfast has consisted of two mangos

blended, a handful (to a cup) of cherries and a little bit of dried

coconut. This has filled me up until lunch time. Also I have not had

nuts in two days. For me it is either all or none. I don't have the

will power right now to have just a few, because that just makes me

crave them more. So I will go without until I am standing firm on both

feet with this way of eating. (and I lost 2 pound in those last two

days, hmmm, hope that keeps up)

 

I have to say that I have had beets and zucchini raw for the first time

and I LOVE them....never thought I would. I made a really wonderful

soup with them and more the other night.

 

Also, I would love to know if anyone else had this reaction: I have,

like most others, an engagement ring and a wedding ring. But in the

last few days I have an intense itching around my ring finger to the

point where I can not wear either ring. Wearing my wedding ring is ok

because it is fairly thin, but wearing both drives me nuts as it itches

so badly. Could I all of a sudden be experiencing an allergy to my

rings? Would this have anything to do with eating raw? Oh, they are

made of platinum if that matters. And I don't really want to retire my

rings as I have grown quite accustomed to them.

 

Thanks everyone,

I am curious about the nuts you are eating. Are they raw? A couple of

years ago I realized that I could not stop eating salted nuts even if

they were making me sick. Raw nuts I have not had a problem with.

 

As for the itching, since going raw, I have rashes and crazy itching on

my fore arms off and on. Mostly after I eat or change clothes. So far

it doesn't seem to be linked to any food. Others have mentioned rashes

as part of detox.

Thanks for the information. As for the nuts, all that I eat are raw. They

range from Walnuts, to almonds, pinenuts, to pecans or cashews. But, I have

not had any in three days. Although yes I used to prefer the taste of

roasted/ salted over raw nuts. But now I have really grown to love the

sweetness and hardiness of the raw nut. I was actually gaining weight by

the amount of nuts that I was eating. But my body is used to the low fat

diet as I had been on a strict low fat, high protein, low calorie and up to

226 carbs diet for the last 20 weeks.
