I haven't posted for a few days, because I've had a few bad days--not because I fell off the raw bus, but still because of what I was eating--I needed time to internalize and process what I am doing and why I am doing it... here's what I came up with:
Why: I am sick. Period. My body got sick because of what I was putting into it=junk.
Why: If eating crap made my body ill, eating alive, nutritionally dense foods should make me well.
Frustration: Getting sick did not happen over night, Getting well will not happen over night.
Frustration: Raw food recipes are complicated and make me feel worse than the junk SAD diet I was on previously.
Frustration: Too many raw food gurus with opposing philosophies and POV's that are super damn confusing.
The answer is obviously RAW FOOD/ALIVE FOODS... I'm convinced of that.
The answer is not raw food gourmet foods which are insanely over-stuffed with fat, over-processed through dehydration, and horrid *food combining...so no more recipe books! Seriously.
Here's one example why:
Take my favorite *SAD food: Pizza and at it's base it is dough, sauce, fatty toppings.
That same food raw-ized is basically a nut base with huge amount of fat 90%...with a sauce that may or may not be high fat...with a cashew cheese topping=more fat... this is not good for anyone.
So the answer for me is getting back to simplicity...
Juicing...Mono foods...Salads
And doing all of my food combining correctly...
*Food-Combining- here is a basic food combining chart to maximize the ease of digestion so that you can maximize the nutrient uptake in your intestine:
And as far as a mono-diet...this is a single fruit/vegetable "meal" (think 3 bananas) or a salad with a mono-type: Basically if it is a sweet fruit you can eat other sweet fruits with it. If it is citrus, keep it with other citrus fruits...etc
*SAD diet-Standard American Diet, this doesn't need too much explanation. You were probably raised on this diet...
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn's-like symptoms knocked me on my ass, doctor's and multiple trials of biologics and other assorted meds made me worse,I now fight my battle solo with whole, vegan, mostly raw foods...AND my disease is mostly in remission! I am mostly pain-free! I am LIVING again, not just breathing!
