Three Frequently Asked Questions...

As you may or may not realise, we now have a page of "Angela's FAQs" on TheRawFoodWorld.com - with my answers to over 50 of the questions people ask me most often about this lifestyle. Here today are three of these Q and As to whet your appetite and if you'd love to explore more, you can find the whole FAQ page HERE...

IS IT OK TO EAT A LOT IN THE BEGINNING OF GOING RAW?

Well, that’s always going to come down to personal choices, perspectives and what you genuinely feel good about…

That being said, in the beginning of being raw, many people do find that they can pretty much eat ‘anything’ as long as it’s raw and still begin to heal, release excess weight and so on, as it’s what they’re not eating that brings the healing (e.g. they have cut out the toxic processed foods).

People are often coming from a background of eating a lot of dense, numbing foods, so when they start to eat raw, they may be looking to find that familiar feeling of satiation, both physically and emotionally…and hence they may seem to be eating a LOT, in relative terms…waaaaaay more than someone a few years down the line of living raw would likely be eating, in comparison. Personally for example, I felt like I was eating almost non-stop at the start of my raw j0urney – my jaws ached from all the chewing... I would be an absolute wreck if I tried to eat as much these days as I did back in the beginning...

If you do start out eating ‘a lot’ at the beginning of your raw j0urney, in the long-run you can certainly benefit from paying more attention to your intake and being more focused. For most people this happens naturally; the longer you’re raw, the less the body ‘accepts’ complicated meals. The body asks for simplicity and moves always towards simpler combinations and optimal health.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLE LOOKING TO GO PARTIALLY OR FULLY RAW ON A TIGHT BUDGET?

Grow lots of your own sprouts, micro-greens and other foods. This can make getting live raw foods into your d!et very cheap and practical – you can grow sprouts in particular wherever you are. For clear guidance on growing your own fresh organic micro-greens and sprouts at home, see ‘Sprouts: The Mir@cle Food’ by Steve ‘Sproutman’ Meyerowitz:

http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=722

Look out for reduced organic items in supermarkets, or start a bulk food coop with other like-minded people.

Purchase filling/satiating, nutrient dense things in bulk or when you see offers, such as spirulina, nuts, chia seed or he-mp protein powder…we have amazing ‘at cost’ sales on staple raw foods in our newsletters for example, every month at TheRawFoodWorld.com.

Learn to forage and gather your own food from the wild…

Volunteer your time at an organic farm/CSA/coop for a few hours a week, in return for good organic fruit/veg…or help out at a raw restaur@nt/facility if there’s any nearby…and yes, above all – GROW YOUR OWN FOOD :)

FOR WEIGHT LOSS IS IT BEST TO GO RAW OR DO A JUICE FEAST?

The question of whether to Juice Feast or go raw for weight loss really comes down to personal choice. Personally though, I would never recommend for someone to do a Juice Feast to lose weight – this could lead to many issues with metabolism and yo-yoing, further down the line.

Understand that Juice Feasting is a HIGHLY cleansing process; if you are in a very overweight, toxic body right now, JF (Juice Feasting) will be like ‘unplugging the sink’ BIG time. It would be an intense experience – one which, very likely will see you come out the other side into radiant health and a natural desire to eat predominantly raw, if you stick with it for a while – it’s like hitting the ‘reset’ button. Starting to EAT more raw is, in comparison, a gentler, slower approach, though the weight loss is usually still swift for people…it really comes down to what resonates most for you…

Hope this helps some more enquiring minds out there - check out all the FAQs HERE :)
