What's Your Style?

Raw with cacao? Raw with nuts? Only fruit? No fruit at all? 100% raw? 75% raw? Hmmm…


Even within one community, within one style of eating there is division.

Here’s my take on this important subject: keep it simply silly! It’s basic, really. As long as you’re not eating animal products and you’re eating a whole lot of raw veggies go with a variation that works for your body. Try mostly fruit…try no fruit. Listen carefully to your insides. They whisper – really pay attention! A gurgle here, a sniffly nose there…these are tell tale signs that whatever you’re doing isn’t working well for you.

I now know that I don’t do well with nuts. I can do a few (5-6) per day – on a good day. Otherwise I feel kinda “icky”. Not bad, just…odd. So generally I don’t eat nuts. I like cooked potatoes and some steamed veggies. I love fruit, cooked soups and a big salad with seeds (though not nuts). I do very well at about 75% raw.

Is there one magic way to eat that suits everyone? Of course not!


Yours in healthy and happiness!
