i am scared if i don't eat fibre food or not raw food, it'll get stuck in me!!!!! is this true?

** alot of why i feel this way , is the sites and boks i read about 'why raw is better' . eg: Unusable (waste) material is created, which has a cumulative congesting/clogging effect on the body and is a burden to the natural eliminative processes of the body - http://www.theathletesprotocol.com/Articles/why-cooked-food-is-bad-for-you.htm

and many more readings!

Lily, if you are really scared to eat, you need to see a therapist. I don't mean this negatively. I am concerned.

We all have to eat to thrive. We all make choices as to what to eat. There are poor choices, and there are great choices.

There are people who eat poor choices their whole lives, who have often have disease (s), discomfort and often are obese, but they still eat and live to a certain age.

Then there are people who make much better choices, who either have no disease (s) or are trying to rid their body of disease, but they too eat!

You need to get over your fear of eating to thrive.

Blessings.

The point in eating raw foods is to provide the best conditions for your body to heal itself. It isn't the food doing the miracle work, it's your own body! The human body has an amazing capability to do what it needs to do, and it's highly adaptable. Years and years of stuffing junk into it can start hindering its ability to function, but if you give your body what it needs, then it will slowly repair itself and then be in good enough health to do its work of getting out the poisons from past dietary mistakes. I think that, if your diet is overall healthy (mostly raw, healthy foods) then it can handle a few slip-ups.

I hope I"m not misunderstanding your post, but from what I understand, fiber is what you need to clean out your intestines and the best natural fibers is found in fruits and vegetables. If you drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and veges your colon will be cleaner than ever!

Liliy......so if youare trying to convice youself that RAW is worth a shot, then have you been non raw and eating prcoessed foods etc?

Sometimes the best way to convice yourself is try it--watch the changes and decide. most start feeling little changes after three days! :)

You'd have to be chowing down quite a bit to overeat fruits an veggies besides, cows graze all day and i've never seen a fat cow. :)
