Does a raw body reject cooked food after while because it's cleansed?

[goingrawchelle]

Once a person is on raw food for awhile, eats their old way again, and has adverse reactions to the old food does that mean that old food is being rejected by the body because it's seeing it as poisin/toxins/not good? (I'm hoping I can get what I'm asking across.) :rolleyes:

If the person has never felt horrible after he ate that way before going raw, just miserably stuffed, would their body have just been used to eating that way? or having gone raw, the body cleaned itself and is no longer "agreeable", for lack of better word, to the old food.

The reason I'm asking this is that I talked to someone who overheard my conversation with someone else and he said to be careful of going completely raw vegan (or actually not eating meat) because he said he did that, except it wasn't raw, and that when he went back to meat, he had gasses rising from his arm. He said your body will stop making enzymes to digest the meat. He also said that I wouldn't be able to eat the old food anymore. I then asked him...Isn't that the point? Wouldn't it be great to not WANT that food anymore?

So, basically my question is...when a person goes back to eating some cooked food and has reactions to it, does that mean his body sees it as poisons after all the raw food it's received?

Does that make sense to anyone? I apologize for not being able to articulate this question very well. :o I'll completely understand if I don't have a reply to this one. :p

I was a vegetarian and vegan for 25+ years before going raw and I cannot digest meat if I tried. And I wouldn't want to. Most definately your body becomes more fine tuned to when you're ingesting poison. I had some microwaved popcorn in Dec of last year and thought I was dying. I was in the bathroom all night as my body violently rejected it and tried to purge it from my system in both directions. Sorry to be so graphic. I always listen to my body now. I don't mess with the body. :D

So your body DID reject what it used to "seemingly" accept? That's what I'm getting at. Our bodies see it as some kind of poison now right? ;)

That's my perception.

Hey I'm listening to you right now Revvell :D

Absolutely. I believe this is correct. I used to have microwaved popcorn almost every single night for at least 2 years. It was one of my staple foods. Microwaving in and of itself creates poisonous food no matter what it is.

okay here's how i see this.

someone who is a non-smoker decides to start. they cough, hack, feel dizzy... cause their body is not used to this toxin coming into it's lungs.

over time they begin to crave the cig. they can't get their mind off it for longer than a minute or two. they are hooked.

then they stop smoking... they go a few months or years without smoking. even stepping into a smoke filled room makes them feel nauseated.

then they decide to start smoking again... once again they are coughing, hacking and dizzy... cause their body does not have the excess mucus needed to tolerate this toxin!

same thing with cooked food. it's a toxin... that's why your body doesn't accept it with ease.

My body doesn't reject. It just feel unsatisfied if I don't eat lots of veggies. I notice the more I eat a mostly raw diet the more I can't even eat a hamburger. Even eating a quarter of a hamburger makes me extremely full.

It is like my stomache shrinks on raw.

Menat, I'm so glad there is someone else out there whose body doesn't reject non-raw. I thought I was weird or something. Although I don't eat meat ever, and the non-raw things I do eat are usually vegan. But I do notice that if I eat a lot of SAD food, my joint pain starts coming back, so I try to keep it at a minimum--and shoot for 100% most of the time.

And I have trouble eating much as well--I was over-full on 1/2 of a Boca burger the other night!

[kaleidoscopeeyes]

I've been a vegetarian my entire sixteen years, with the exception of the day my dad made me eat a hamburger my stepmother had prepared. I did NOT want to do this - I was (and am) a staunch believer in animal rights, and the thought of meat disgusted me anyway. But I did as I was told, and after ONE bite I immediately threw up. Does that answer your question? Heh.

Exactly!! That's what I experience! Thanks for articulating that for me. :rolleyes:
