Poor Eating Habits?

2/13/2011

I have had several conversations with women in the past six months about poor eating habits.  One that I hear about most often is the ability to stop eating when full.  If the food is exceptionally incredible it is hard to put the fork down even when your belly lets me know it has had enough.  Usually the taste and enjoyment of the food overrules self discipline. If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Before I went raw, this was always something in the forefront of my mind when eating, snacking, or dining with others.

Picture

This is not why I eat raw food, but for the first time I don’t worry about overeating, getting too full, feeling poor afterward.  I can eat my full, even eat more than is necessary but feel no negative effects.  This is part of the hope that the Lord has given me and that I am excited to share with others, especially with women.  We can enjoy food again, without paranoia or feelings of guilt.

When eating “normal” food, it’s not wise to eat half a cake, a batch of cookie dough, or four burgers in one setting.  The amount of sugar usually found in desserts will actually slow your immune system – which is why flu and cold season begin right after the holidays.  


Picture
However, considering one of my raw cakes consists mostly of fruits and vegetable with no added sugar, no gluten, no dairy, and is low glycemic, and helps to PREVENT illness and disease…eating half the cake in one sitting is not only not dangerous or ill advised, but healthy and encouraged! 


Picture
So if I’m feeling down and would like some chocolate to help pick me up, I can make some brownies using nuts and dried fruit – enjoying the simplicity of what God has created, without all the garbage man has developed.  High Fructose Corn Syrup, Maltodextrose, Aspartame, Monosodium Glutamate, Artificial colors, and a host of lesser known carcinogens (cancer causing “foods”) are found in so many products, and often disguised by aliases, that it is difficult to protect ourselves. Especially from ourselves.


Picture
This is why raw food can be so exciting.  Easy, fast, simple foods that we know are good for us because we make them ourselves.  Inexpensive and fast…isn’t that we all seek these days?  We don’t have to eat ONLY raw foods, but turn to them when we know we are vulnerable.  Rediscover your comfort foods, learn to prepare them in a different way, and prepare things ahead of time so you can turn to them if need be.

I hope I get to see you at the next class, where you can add a few more recipes to your arsenal of health.

     About the Blogger

    Haley is passionate about Raw Food and how God has used it to heal her. She loves to share what she knows with anyone who is curious, and finds herself talking to everyone around her about her lifestyle. 

    God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.  For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. (2 Corinthians 3-7)

    This Scripture applies to every area of  life that Haley is passionate about. In order to be grateful, confidant, and assured of anything in your life...it must be tested and proved. That testing is never easy and rarely pleasant...but it IS purposeful. She now can take the comfort that God has given her and share it with you. Amen!
