What I Love about the Raw Food Diet
I grew up as a sickly chubby kid and never knew about the Raw Food Diet. Ice cream and chocolate bars were essentials of my childhood. They refused to leave my moms refrigerator. My mom’s friends would pinch my cheeks with an impression that fat is healthy. But who can’t resist a soft chubby teddy bear waiting to be cuddled in the first place? However, what lies deep within those brown fats nurtured by my overfeeding parents are illnesses waiting for harvest time.
Until one day, I woke up 30 pounds heavier than my ideal weight plus a torn ACL secondary to overused knee ligament.
All because of the wrong choices of diet instilled to me as a child.
In my early 20’s I tried breaking up with my long time girlfriend named carbohydrates.
Which means I have to say ‘adieu’ to rice, bread and cotton candies. I had severe episodes of chocolatey night mares during the first few weeks but I survived. The reason why? I wanted to be simply healthy. I wanted to live a longer and more meaningful life. The diet is helping me shed those extra pounds until I went to the hospital for my annual general check-up. My laboratory result revealed I have high cholesterol.
The eggs, beef burger patties, buffalo wings and grilled pork tenderloin took a toll in my health. I was a little depressed because this would be my second break up. I already fell in love with my new diet. But I can not go back to my old ways either. I need to find my lifetime partner this time. True to my word, I was able to find the one in the name of raw food diet.
Think of all natural, green, fresh, uncooked, low sodium goodies.
