View Full Version : Do any of you eat raw foods intuitively?

I find that I do this now. I came from a place in my life in which I was eating every 2 hours. Food on top of food. Blah. Didn't liked the feeling plus it was all that SAD food. With raw foods, I eat when I'm hungry. I stop when I'm satisfied. It's just such a simple method. No counting anything. I LOVE it! Sometimes that means I eat twice a day-other days, I might 5 or more times. It always balances itself out. It's one of the greatest dicoveries for me since being raw-eating intuitely.

YES! Plus I listen to my body. When my beloved Heidi girl (my mini dachshund) passed this Spring, I cried for days on end (not eating) and then craved salty foods; making up for the salty tears I lost.

Now I'm craving citrus foods (body knows I need the vitamin C).

I also eat more seasonally. Lighter, in-season foods in the summer months, heavier, more dense foods in the winter months.

There are some days when a green smoothie carries me all day. Other days I can't stop grazing.

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

It's so cool~!

l~!

Ooohhh, so sorry about Heidi. We've had a mini-dach for four years now, and I never knew how endearing they were.

Before that, we lost a Llasa that we'd have for almost 16 years. It is sooo hard.

(hugs, even though they're several months late).

yeah its a funny thing about raw. i used to crave SAD foods all the time when i wasnt raw. now when i get hungry i usually go straight for some raw fruit of veg. raw makes your body feel good and i think THAT makes you actually WANT to eat more raw.

thats what i have found. the more raw i eat... the more i seem to desire.
the more SAD foods you eat.... the more of that you want as well.
so.... it seems that if you can get to all raw or at least very high raw.... you body will just makes the choice for you naturally.
and THATS a beautiful thing.
