We have explored in other segments about the different qualities of the various macro-nutrients that exist in the food world — carbs, proteins and fats.As you embrace the power of raw foods, fruits and superfoods in their ability to clean, detoxify, energize and regenerate, you may come to realize that the intake of carbohydrates especially in the form of simple sugars and fructose from fruits is perhaps the most ideal source of sustenance and energy.But this seems contrary to how
It seems that whenever I am talking with somebody who is used to eating a regular-type diet, and I start talking about the power of raw, living, electrical foods, within seconds the most common question they will ask is: “Where do you get your protein?”In America, and it seems worldwide, we have a fixation with protein — it’s become a magical entity. A few theories that come to mind of exactly why it’s gained this status are:— It’s delicious and
One of the big concerns about getting healthier, eating a more vibrant selection of foods, and investing in your own physical transformation is the cost involved. Everybody knows that organic, high-quality ingredients cost more than their conventional counterparts, and people are worried that they will be priced out of this lifestyle, and that this is something that is reserved for an elite upper class, while the peasants eat bread and gruel, like in the olden days.I would like to address
In life, there are no guarantees. Every day you are on this Earth is a bonus and there are no entitlements in the natural world. If you are lucky enough to get out of bed and put both feet on the ground, then the rest is up to you.The same is true with taking a great leap of faith in terms of investing in supplements, taking the energy and time to do a multi-day cleanse or flush, or making changing
Throughout this journey of detoxification and regeneration, maintaining balance through your own unique struggles, tribulations, and as you overcome your obstacles is a constant necessity. Losing balance runs the risk of faltering and potentially crashing and burning, setting yourself back and causing you to reach your destination much more slowly.How often will you have to focus on maintaining balance you might wonder? Well, how often does a tightrope walker concentrate on maintaining balance? The reality is that it is a
As you progress through detoxification, and clean your body out, moving any harmful materials to the exits, you are liable to experience what is known as a Healing Crisis. This is a phenomenon which is sort of incredible and which is mystical in its own way to try and grasp what it’s all about. But, I will do my best to explain.Nothing in life of great accomplishment comes easily. If you have an ambitious goal that is out of reach,
A lot of people sort of recoil with distaste at the concept of eating very healthfully, especially with regard to eating lots of raw foods. They look at somebody who does that as some kind of natural freak, almost like a space alien, and they think of eating this way as a sort of aberration of what life is supposed to be all about.You can see how this would be important to address, on multiple levels. You might be having
You may be wondering about this radical-sounding way of eating and thinking that it is more like a lifestyle and less like a diet. In fact, my experience is that this is the case. Being into healthy eating, raw electrical foods, feeling good all the time and being highly energized is definitely a lifestyle. Each indulgence to eat cooked comfort foods comes with a crash from the buzz of being on a high-raw intake of foods, much like a druggie
Wanting to do something and actually doing it are miles apart, and that gap represents the difference between failure and success. Indeed, most people want to be healthier, exist at an ideal weight, carry a certain degree of athleticism, and maintain high levels of energy and vitality. But most people live in a perpetual state of, “I’ll do that later. Someday, I’ll start that workout program and clean up how I’m eating and stop with the late-night snacks and all
I don’t want to sound too freaky, but once you get yourself healthy and well, and break your addiction to junk foods, you might look around and see a bunch of junk-food-addicted food zombies walking around, just waiting until they can get their next fix, overweight, and eating themselves into an early grave.As your awareness levels go up, this planet starts to resemble more and more a place where a lot of souls are essentially taken over by their desires
