Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Very wise information. Everyone's body is different and their normal ways of eating are just as different. Take it slow and allow your body to tell you when it is time for the next step. It is well worth the time to transition slowly so you can stick with your " lifestyle " changes. Trish Burrows P.O.

I am thriving quite well on the diet, but there was some transition periods for me. When I first started, I just went to 10% fat right away. However, my body was accustomed to a much higher fat intake. So right away, it felt like I was having to control my diet, as my body wanted more fat. So I started out at 20% fat, and this was OK for me. And over the next 2 years, my fat dropped effortlessly down to 10%. So our bodies are used to our previous diets. Most people cannot simply move from an existing diet of all cooked foods to a diet of all raw foods over night, without exerting a considerable amount of control. And if this control results in desires that are being denied, this is a form of self violence, and the body will respond in kind. A low fat diet is going to be much healthier than a high fat diet. The issue is the transition, because most people are accustomed to a high fat diet like I was. The bottom line is make small steps, and don't take another step you you feel stable at the last step you took. Pay attention to how it feels. Spend more time feeling and you will do fine.
