The Fruit Faery
Thanks for all the site links.
Sorry, When I wrote 'several searches' in my original post, I meant searches run on this site about the book.
Looking back at my original post, I did not make that clear. I had checked out the book and author. The reviews appeared very positive.
I was simply looking for feedback from people on this board.
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

Go easy on yourself.
Start by adding more of the good stuff and slowly dropping the not so good stuff in your diet.
Transition slowly or you will suffer all sorts of nasty symptoms as you detox the rubbish.
How about some green smoothies? They are filling and a good place to start whilst you consider your raw food diet options.

Hey Jodi how are you doing today?
You have been in my thoughts throughout the day.
When i think about you, I keep thinking that your experience is linked to some kind of spiritual awakening.
Don't know if that resonates with you?
I know raw food brings a deep connection and may initiate kundalini experiences. Drugs, alcohol and cooked all numb these experiences. Many of us turn to these th

You are a strong beautiful courageous woman Jodi.
Alkalise that blood running through your veins once again and this will be a distant memory.
You will take many things from this experience. Compassion for your mother's choices may well be a biggie.
I thank you for your honesty and your choice to bare your self on open forum. For me, it demonstrates your inner strength and commitment.

Hey Jodi
Im having a crap time just now too. I go through this twice a year. October/ November and April/ May. Have done so for as long as I can remember.
At first i thought it was illness, then later loosing the plot! Whatever it is that happens to me at these times, it is very disruptive.

She is just beautiful thanks.
She recently had her 15 month check up with the vet. The vet said that she was in wonderful condition.
A beautiful breeding bitch. She asked me what we fed her. I said that she was fond of fruit. The vet laughed and said that her dog was fond of pears!

M&S of all places have a great deal on strawberries and grapes at the moment. I dont normally shop there for groceries. I discovered them purely by chance. Long may it last!

I had some prepared fruit left over in the fridge from my packed lunch.
Black grapes, strawberries, pineapple and kiwi fruit. I added bananas, fresh orange, passion fruit juice and ice. Then I vitamixed it.
Wow! what a taste sensation and what an immediate energy boost. I loved it.
Just had to share it.

It really is worth playing with the fat. Your right, raw choc does not mean 'better', 'cleaner' or 'good' choc! Its still a stimulant and like you say, its only swapping one for another!
The craving for chocolate is fat not sweet, otherwise fruit, dates, would sort out the craving, but it doesn't! Does it?
Try dropping your fruit, increasing your greens and fat, you can drop t

It took me years to work through this!
Whats your fat consumption like?
I found that I craved chocolate when I was premenstrual.
I always increase my fat intake well before this time.
For me there is a significant link been the two.
Sometimes it also happens at ovulation.
Its worth keeping a diary, otherwise it creeps up on you and you find yourself in the 'binge' before you have a

Try to stay as present as possible.
I find this practice works well for me.
Stay out of my head, listen to whats going on in my body.
Be open enough to listen to everyone, at least once!
Allow myself the freedom to 'get it wrong' laugh and move on!

My comments are purely limited to the group of macrobiotic dieters that i spent my weekend with.
These are the only group that I have encountered. Until this point,it has only ever been SAD eaters that have passed judgement on my diet.
It was interesting to spend time with a group of people who have made huge dietary life changes themselves, yet were unable to accept those of another, in any

I think that a craving is about filling a need that is not being met at that moment in time.
When i reach out for something without feeling hungry, I simply ask myself what it is that I'm trying to feed.
The more that i practiced this, the easier and quicker the answer came. I then consciously chose if i wished to proceed.
In short, i became present. sometimes this practice was/is a little

Yes la_veronique, the placebo affect!
They appeared to be very fearful of raw foods, including the raw food eater!
In my opinion the group i met didnt look so healthy!
They behaved almost cult like in their approach.
Macrobiotics eating is not part of TCM anyway.
Macrobiotic theory, as far as i can see, adopted certain core principles of TCM and then customised them to fit!

Something I forgot to add.
Its been my experience this weekend that this macrobiotic group's approach to raw is theoretical.
Its coming from their, or someone elses's mind, as they have been informed that raw is an unhealthy 'craze' diet.
They speak from the head.
My approach to raw is experiential. Im doing it. I speak from my heart. A place of deep knowing and connectedness.
