It's been a while since I've made a mark here. With the Christmas season in full swing, not only am I busy with my daily routines at work, I've also been out on a few more catering events than most months. This month-and-a-half build up for one 'special' day is growing more tiring year after year, this Christmas I plan on sleeping in and relaxing my mind with a good dinner and an abundance of gin & tonic. So grateful I will be after the next 2 weeks are over.
So an update is needed... I guess I failed, or rather my body failed me. It turns out, raw food and my already troubled digestive system don't mix very well. Although cooking fruits and vegetables diminishes some of the nutritional value, I don't have strong enough digestive enzymes to extract the required nutrients anyways. Therefore, the cooking process helps to soften the plant tissues helping my system acquire what nutrients are left a lot easier.
If you're like me and have any sort of digestive problem, think twice about the raw food diet. I got sick quite easily, suffering from migraines and becoming quite lethargic. My search for better health ends and starts again right here. Well.... maybe after Christmas.

Hi, someone forgot to tell you that when you make a diet change like that your body will begin to expell some things like toxins and waste products. This is called a cleansning and though it is not pleasent it is a good thing. The stuff as it leaves can give you some unpleasent symptoms like a headach or nausea. But to leave toxins in your body can cause cancer. Try backing down on the amount of raw and as the symptoms ease increase the amount. I know a lot about this I had cancer and used a lot of raw produce and herbs 20 years ago and cured the cancer myself.
Sincerely
Paul
