Overeating and Food Addiction

[Guest guest]

Several people here have written about food addiction, a subject

that is not very well known generally, and one that we could easily

imagine would heal itself on a raw food diet, like we claim happens

with all other physical ailments.

 

Yet compulsive overeating is a significant problem in our culture,

and it shouldn't come as a surprise that this addiction doesn't just

go away when we move to a raw food diet. Compulsive overeating can

destroy lives, just as addictions to other substances (alcohol and

other drugs) and behaviors (gambling, sex, and codependent

relationships) do.

 

If you're interested in finding out more about compulsive overeating

in an environment that supports raw vegans, check out the

group called RawVeganOA.

 

Here's the intro to the group:

 

This group is for compulsive eaters following the Overeaters

Anonymous program who wish to eat a raw vegan diet.

 

However, in the spirit of Tradition Three we welcome everyone

seeking recovery from compulsive eating regardless of the food they

choose to eat.

 

As many group members are still trying to achieve a raw vegan diet,

discussion of Victoria Boutenko's " 12 Steps to Raw Foods " is

acceptable as a topic.

 

To find the group, go to and under Join a Group

search for RawVeganOA.
