Raw Food Diet Plans - Making Them Work For You

If you're interested in following a raw food diet plan, I highly recommend you read this article and follow the guidelines. It will save you some time in the long run. As a raw food coach and trainer, I've noticed that many people go on a guilt trip about what they eat when they start eating raw. That is totally not helpful. But what is helpful is to learn to listen to your body and how it feels after you eat certain kinds of food. Doing that you can transition to eating raw naturally and effortlessly. This exercise, though it seems simple, is very powerful. It's power is in the watching. During it, you should merely watch yourself and receive the valuable information that will be given from doing it.

Before anyone completes this practice, I always tell them to turn off the inner judge and critic. You should not get down on yourself for anything you find yourself eating. You are simply observing. Be honest with yourself and you are likely to get some surprises about what kinds of foods support your health and abundant wellbeing.

All you need to successfully complete this exercise is willingness and a small notebook. In the notebook simply create the following headlines: What was it that I ate? What ingredients did it contain? What was the reason that I ate it? (Was I hungry or bored? Was it out of habit? Was I emotional?) How did I feel after I ate?

Once you've got your book, here's what to do. Eat whatever you want whenever you want, and as you do, simply answer the questions in your book. Do it regularly - about 1 hour after eating. Answer the questions honestly and completely. To do this you'll really need to pay attention - that's a really good thing and precisely where the power of this practice lies. Once you've done this for a few days you'll notice that certain foods will automatically begin to lose their appeal. You might notice that you simply don't want to feel like you did after you had the last hamburger, so you eat something else instead. It's really that easy.

Most people who have been eating as normal diet based on cooked food find it difficult to feel how their body responds to different foods. This is mostly due to years of blocking out uncomfortable feelings that come after eating a meal. I always recommend to my clients that if they have this difficulty they should use the following affirmations to begin to reconnect with the body. To use them you simply need to feel the body and give it attention while saying the words to yourself. Be patient and remember that children, you included, easily knew what was good and bad for them. If they ate something they didn't like, they simply spit it out. Following this guideline, you'll be eating healthier and more raw food without naturally and effortlessly in less time than you might imagine.
