intro

[Guest guest]

I just d because I recently started the Natural Hygiene way

of eating again. I did it years ago, and have at times, gone back to

eating only fruit in the mornings.

 

I've been a vegetarian for over 23 years, but have just recently

given up milk and eggs. At this point, I am still eating some white

cheese. Since getting back on the program, I haven't had even plain

yogurt, which I had been eating for a long time.

 

I would like to ask if there are any other members who practice the

Natural Hygiene way of eating. I am not sure if most members here

eat only raw foods or only a certain percentage.

 

I eat only raw fruit at least until noon and then I have a large

salad for lunch, maybe some steamed veggies, and dinner has been

steamed veggies, large salad, baked potatoe or rice, etc.

 

I am not mixing carbs with proteins. I am also eating raw nuts. I

don't drink with meals, etc.

 

I look forward to meeting and sharing with other members here. Since

this looks like large volume mailing list, I signed up for the digest

version to begin with.

 

I am also working at getting to bed earlier, but tonight,I got

carried away doing searches on Natural Hygiene on the internet and

then started looking for a (and found you).

 

I just finished day 5 and feel pretty good and am gung ho. I have

been making eating modifications for the past 23 years a little at a

time. I feel ready to take this on.

 

I have been reading Fit For Life and Fit For Life II, I'm going to

read Fitonics next, but not so sure about it because when I glanced

in the book, I noticed that they talk about eating fruit along with

vegetables and oatmeal. Do any of you do this? In the late 70's I

had read a book by Joy Gross, but can't remember the exact title.

All I know is that I could eat well and I seemed to lose quite a lot

of weight. I Wonder when and how I got off that program.

 

Funny how this has progressed. I haven't had chocolate in over 13

years, caffiene in over 7 years or sodas. My main drink is purified

water and some fresh juice. I have a Vita-Mix, so even when I make

juice, I still get the fiber.

 

People have always thought my eating eccentric. Back in the 70s, I

was considered a health nut. Does it sound like this is the group

for me?????

 

As Jimmy Buffet says in one of his songs, " I'm growing older, but not

up. " Which leads me to say that I am 51 and living in South Florida.

 

Sorry for the long, rambling intro. I knew I was right when I

decided to omit the word quick before writing intro in the subject.
