Raw Radiant Health

We all know there is a reason why junk food is called comfort food– and therefore we also know why we crave it and reach for it in tough times. These foods can have a soothing and numbing effect on us. Its difficult when one gets on a raw food diet because all of a sudden we no longer have these dulling foods and suddenly we have to face ourselves, our lives and sometimes its really not at all comfortable. I know, I’ve been there!!

So what do we do when we are feeling vulnerable, when the cravings start kicking in and the emotion are too much to bear?

The other day I talked about the physical side of binge eating– how not eating enough during the day can lead to over eating at night. Well today I decided to talk about the emotional side of binge eating, what I call ‘comfort eating!’ We’ve all been there at some point in our lives and some of us can take it or leave it, while others rely on it as a best friend that is there for every stress and upset. We are all on our own unique paths, and nothing is set in stone– change & transformations happen every day. So today’s episode is all about emotional eating and how to stop it in its tracks.
