New to the group after seeing Raw in 30 days!

[Guest guest]

Hello Group!

 

My name is Fay. I am ready to take off in this group. I love food and

I love to eat. I hope that you all can assist me in changing my

lifestyle for better health. I need to lose a lot of weight.

Although, I am too comfortable the way I am now.

 

The only way for me is to have great food selections to replace the way

I eat now. I need lots of love and support.

 

Holler at your girl! For real!

Welcome Fay! Sounds like you have a passion to be healthy.

You can do it, It's not about eating less, but about eating different. Start substituting fresh fruits and vegetables for the cooked, processed, UNHEALTHY junk. You are too valuable to fill with junk - you deserve high class, high nutrient, delicious, healing, live foods! Go for it.

Hi Fay,

 

Isn't it awesome that we can make a few healthy choices and feel and see the

great effects!

Time does not exist when you turn your awareness to your inner needs. Think

about it.

what does you body really want? Not necessarily what you are craving, but what

works for

you and what tastes delicious to you. Try to know this and appreciate it

everyday. Just be

aware and have that little smile inside as you pay attention to your body's deep

need for

nourishment. The fact is that time does not exist when we do things out of love

for

ourselves. We simply walk and talk (and eat) our way right into the exact body

we want.

The process varies for each individual. You create your own experience and

sometimes

others help by offering inspiration. Here is my contribution:

 

Three years ago I became very concerned about my own health. I created my own

intuitive

diet based on what I already knew and some of what I read about hearth healthy

diets, this

eventually led me to an awareness about the importance of raw vegan foods. I

lost about

80 pounds by simply cutting out sugar and sugary foods, flour products, and

animal

products including dairy. It was my goal to not eat more than 20 percent of

anything

containing these products, but this practice had the effect of cutting them out

almost

entirely. I simply lost the desire to eat as much of these foods because I was

enjoying the

awareness of being healthy on the inside. I focused on having as much salad and

fresh

raw vegetables as possible and I still continue to concentrate on moslty raw

vegan foods.

It was not my intention to lose weight, although I was very grateful to see the

pounds

melting off over time.

 

Green is the color of love in the heart chakra and even if you don't believe in

this system of

thought, we all notice green everywhere on the earth cleansing the air and

creating life.

Greens are also the very best food to eat on any diet. You will find that every

credible

nutritionist and dietician will stress the importance of leafy greens. The only

challenge is

to make them taste delicious by slicing them into bite sized pieces, marinating

them,

dressing them, combining them with other delicious ingredients and so on. You

can also

blend greens into smoothies to bring down the sugar content and increase vital

nutrients.

Eventually your sense of taste will increase and you will not need so much

flavor added to

the greens. I just stopped at a rest stop coming back from New York. Resigned

to the

idea that there was no raw vegan foods on the premises, I decided that I would

get in line

for a muffin or something like that...(I am pretty relaxed about my choices, and

I am fine

with not being 100 percent all the time Just doin' the best I can : ) So I

stood there and

suddenly saw the salad bar at the Sbarro. I ended up making the most delicious,

biggest

salad in the world. I also got some steamed veggies which I eat on occasion

with tomato

sauce. Total bill $13

 

I sat there and calmly ate the whole thing with absolute delight reminding

myself how

cleansing and nourishing the food on our planet can be...even in the most toxic

places. I

did get a few stares from some who were tucked into their fried chickens. But I

noticed

that during my meal, the most joyful family sat down right next to me. Perhaps

I attracted

the most joyous family in the entire room simply by focusing on my healthy

experience.

 

peace and love to you,

 

Michael
