Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I like his idea and way of presenting it. I admire what they call "clean eating," but I know I can't do it right now. However, I'm working up to eating more fiber and less cheese. :-) Therefore I am introducing more veggies and fruits into my diet. Today I had a lovely mango, yum, it was delicious. Mangoes are gifts to mankind. Living in South Florida, they are readily accessible, even falling off trees in some people's gardens. They are delicious. I bought two mangos recently, and they were from Haiti. Haiti is fairly close to So. Florida. I thought well, I'll buy them because maybe I'm helping some poor Haitian make something. My way of charity. :-) The homegrown mangos were a bit more expensive. I'm enjoying what I eat. I have a slice of pizza in the freezer, I have not eaten it yet, but it's speaking to me (not quite calling) and I may or may not eat it today. If I could eat it with gobs of cheese, but I don't want to. I love cheese, but enough is enough -- for me. I made a delicious peanut butter dip and got a bunch of celery for my evening snack and dipped that celery into the dip and thought how gorgeous it tasted. Almost as good as the mango. Peace. I am now going to look for a recipe for garlic rolls for my husband.

He has written this blog on his experience of experimenting with a raw foods diet. I hope this doesn't trigger anyone, but what I love about the article is how he listens to his body and how he talks about having no agenda as to how long he will continue this way of eating but is just enjoying the experience and the intuitiveness of it all. Hope you guys enjoy it. And if you have a moment, check out his music! He is very inspirational!Alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 While I seriously doubt I would ever eat along the same lines as this fellow, his ability to tune into his body's desires as well as discover what his body does NOT want is amazing and a bit inspiring too. The 'mono meals' remark is additionally intriguing in that it would be quite helpful as an elimination tool for negative reactions to specific foods. Thanks for sharing this different point of view that also emphasizes intuitive eating practices.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I too noticed the remark about the mono meals and I find myself wondering if it would be easier to determine that hunger has dissipated if we aren't teasing the taste buds with different foods at the same time -- on the other hand, the CAMP system recommends a practice of one bite of food A, one bite of food B, one of food C, then repeat. I forget what they call it, but the reasoning is to help keep in the present time and not go into automatic scooping and swallowing. There are so many opposing bits of advice relative to eating mindfully, it gives each of us room for some pleasant investigation on our own, and I do love that no one answer needs to fit all.
