Dietary Changes
Making the necessary dietary changes presents a challenge that requires practice and patience. Most people find that after an initial adjustment period, they feel so good that the efforts expended seem more than worthwhile. You'll discover that the comfort and pleasure you derive from living in a healthier body can be tremendously satisfying.
Eventually, your inner wisdom will guide you to choose only the foods that nourish you and not your evil twin!! You'll probably misunderstand this instinct a few times at the outset. You may even choose to ignore it a time or two. This is all part of the learning process.
The following helpful hints will serve to keep you on track during your transition.
Remember, you are making dietary choices to nourish your essential system, and not destroy it! Your new diet on raw foods may give you feelings of deprivation, but by exploring exciting new foods and recipes that are delicious and you can nourish not only your body, but your very soul.
Focus on what you can have, instead of what you can't.
Empty your cupboards of those items that are inappropriate for your program, so you won't be tempted.
Plan ahead; utilize rotation-diet and recipe books that help you to organize your groceries and meal plans. You can always surf the web for great raw food recipes.
