Relearning to eat - Elchanon

[Guest guest]

Thanx Elchanon for being more precise in your language than I have been. Of

course, all sorts of hidden/suppressed stuff will come up and out if I am trying

to get 'healthy' on any level. I used the term reacting to a lack of fat

because no longer was there enough heaviness in my body or triggering foods to

suppress whatever I have been trying to suppress all my life. I also realize

that the feeling of lightness that occurs after I eat raw is NOT what I

associate with fullness or satisfaction. I am addicted to the reaction I get

from eating fats and lots of sugar on top of it. Lots of reprogramming (or

releasing of old programs) to do.

 

And it seems no matter how much I have ALREADY done lots of internal healing, I

need to change this particular habit (using food to fill the void/suppress what

I don't want to feel) NOW. I know this is the next step in my own ascension

process and it, like every thing I experience, goes in fits and starts.

 

I also resonate with not eating enough fruit. As soon as you wrote it, I

realized you are right. I ate much more veggies than I did fruit anyway. I

still do. I need to be vigilant to eat fruit, eating veggies is much easier for

me. I haven't discovered yet why I have an internal aversion to fruit but it

certainly feels learned not natural. More to learn and try!!!!

 

Thanx again.

This is a transitioning issue, confusing because it is multifaceted,

involving both physical and emotional factors. And there is a profound need

for knowledge. I am planning to offer some such information in August via

some free teleclasses (more information coming soon), and you may wish to

consider signing up for Doug and Frederic's upcoming teleclasses.

 

 

 

From the information provided, my sense is that each of you underate

severely on fruit during your " failed " forays into RF, as this is almost

universally the case with uncoached beginners approaching a high-water,

high-fruit RF lifestyle. Eventually, one's system simply explodes into a

craving frenzy. This occurs frequently and predictably. That none of you

seems to have found a way to stabilize with RF strongly supports this

suggestion.

 

 

 

The fats you now consume may satisfy your body's need for caloric intak, but

ONLY a great preponderance of high-water-content foods can satisfy your

body's generalized need for nutrients, particularly over time.You may like

your new body shape, but body shape does not equate with body composition,

nor does fitness equate with health-we learn repeatedly of brilliant

athletes keeling over. These are only two among many indicators of health.

Eventually, energy will likely diminish, and " new " and " unexplained "

symptoms will likely appear.

 

 

 

Further, it is extremely unlikely that any of you has experienced " a strong

emotional reaction to a lack of fat. " This would imply some severe and

LONG-TERM deficiency, hormonal imbalance, or the like. Such is the nature of

self-diagnosis in the absence of knowledge and in the absence of sufficient

connection with self to truly listen to AND INTERPRET communications from

one's own system.

 

 

 

Rather, when one begins cleaning up one part of one's act, the entire system

wishes to join in. In this context, it is VERY common for all sorts of

emotional issues to surface, particularly issues that have lain dormant for

decades and that have no name or description in your current self-awareness.

 

 

 

 

You may experience significant distress, and this surfacing of underlying

old emotions presents a wonderful opportunity to grow -- but ONLY if you

embrace what you experience, NOT if you suppress the emotional outpouring

with heavy foods. That is nothing more than an act of drugging oneself with

fats and indigestible fiber (in the case of nuts and seeds).

 

 

 

I am aware that almost no RF teachers deal with this aspect of the

transitioning process, other than as lip service. Dr. Tim Trader and I both

address such issues directly and specifically. In our view, no one can

attain AND SUSTAIN health and vitality without emotional balance and

resiliency, sometimes called " poise " in certain NH writings.

 

 

 

More to follow if requested. if anyone wishes to communicate privately

regarding similar issues, please feel free at <VLinfo

Best to all,

 

Elchanan
