Not use to feeling just "satisfied"...

[Stellaluna]

I don't know if anyone has experienced this too, but one thing that was hard for me was getting use to feeling satisfied. Cooked food ALWAYS felt so heavy in my stomach that it seemed normal. But raw doesn't have that same "heaviness" feeling, which is good... but it took time for me to "accept" it. :p
Has anyone ever felt the same way?

Yep. I feel that way still. A few handful of times I think "i havn't eating in a while, I'm not hungry nor do I have the desire to eat" but other than that I seek that "full" heavy feeling and it leads to eating way too much to get it since I'm eating raw.

<--- ate three bowls of kale salad yesterday in a row because I was craving that "full" feeling. I haven't felt that sick in quite awhile :rolleyes:

I've been high-raw for two and a half months, and I've been struggling with not feeling full for the past two weeks. You're not alone.

I feel like it's just an adjustment my body is going through. It lived for so long on the heavy stuff, and now after some major detox, it's learning the new way. It's certainly difficult in the meantime!

I went through a phase like that and found that Avacado or date nut tort did the trick for me.

Ohhhh yeah. I can go through half a watermelon and feel... not even full. My body is telling me it's full but my mind is saying keep going.

I find that if I have some avocado pudding, or a couple of bananas that I get that full feeling.

I have never liked that "heavy" feeling so if I ate any food that gave me that feeling, that was the last time I ate it. Okay, maybe not quite. Sometimes I was fool enough to try it a second or third time, but generally I just wouldn't eat it. I can't think of any cooked vegetables or grains that would give me that feeling but meat would.

Really? Maybe ti's just me, but even steamed rice and veggies did that.
