This involves emotional as well as physical factors, so it is very

individual, from 10 seconds to years, depending upon the person.

 

I am planning to post some information about emotional eating within the

next couple of weeks.

Greetings to you Rachel,

 

You said.........

How much disapline does it take exactly and how long does it

generally take before the cravings stop, one's energy finally goes

up and comes back again and did you take any vitamins or supplements

when first starting on raw foods??

 

Blessings,

 

Indiana.

Hi there, for me the sugar cravings haven't stopped because I

haven't stopped eating sugar (one of my final goals).

 

But as far as carb cravings and junk food cravings it took me about

a week to get over that. But I still wasn't enjoying the raw foods;

that took another 2 weeks to finally enjoy and actually crave. Now

I go through cycles where I change what I buy at the store as far as

raw foods go (depending on the variety). So if I eat a lot of

cauliflower one week the next week I'll switch to cabbage but I

always have a variety of foods on hand and I always eat a lot of

greens, I never tire of those. I found that trying a lot of salad

dressings was the key. I get sick of the same old dressings and I

have to have a variety of that too. Now I think I'm in a groove of

healthy eating. Personally I love the salad dressing recipe in The

Maker's Diet and I'm going to be trying a new recipe pretty soon

that calls for tahini and orange zest and juice. If you'd like a

copy of that first recipe I'll send it to you.

 

I took more multi vitamins in the beginning but I've backed off a

bit recently because I FEEL much better and don't really think to

take a vitamin.

 

I hope this helps,

Rachel
