Raw Radiant Health

I received an email yesterday asking my why this person could never feel full after drinking a large smoothie (like 4 cups of smoothie!) compared to when this person ate cooked food and meats. This comes up a lot when people are transitioning to raw foods and no matter what they eat they don’t feel satisfied and don’t  have that full feeling they get from cooked foods, or that they feel hungry again after an hour or two.

Today I give a few suggestion to help feel fuller, plus also ways to slowly transition to more raw foods and adjustments you can make to have a healthier diet.

How To Feel Full On Raw Food Diet, Ep88

I am asked by a lot by people starting out on the raw food diet why they are lacking energy. The main reason people have problems with the raw food diet is either they aren’t eating enough or their diet isn’t balanced. Today i talk about some of the ways to ensure you are eating correctly and where to get your calories and energy from.

Why No Energy On The Raw Foods Diet, Ep87

Today I go a little further into the topic of food combining and I talk specifically about eating fruits and fats (nuts, seeds, oils, coconut meat, avocados, etc..). A lot of raw foodists have digestive distress from eating fruits and fats in the same meal, for example the delicious raw dessert that is made out of dried fruits and nuts– that can be a bomb in some people’s stomachs!!! But on the other end of things, adding a few nuts or seeds to a fruit meal can actually stabilize some people’s blood sugar–so what do you do?!!! Well, today I talk about the warning signs from your body that will tell you whether the fruit/fat combination works for you or no.

By listening to your body, you will have all the answers!

It always freaks me out when people talk about cutting food groups out of their diet, like ‘no more nuts,’ ‘gotta cut down on the fruit.’ I hear this a lot and it upsets me because already the raw food diet can seem quite limiting compared to other diets, and them suddenly people start talking about limiting it even more!!!! Oi!! We all need to be reminded that food is our Friend. Food is created by nature to nourish and sustain us- food is created to eat and to enjoy!!
