<description><![CDATA[Going raw is not only about more than "carrots and apples" it's also about way more than raw food. As anyone who has eaten mostly or all raw food for more than a month will tell you, what inevitably follows the desire to eat healthier, is the desire to live healthier in all aspects - internally and externally. And this all comes down to one central theme - self-love.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Saying that you are "going raw" or have "gone raw" can be challenging at the best of times, but saying it to your own family - those who have seen you eat all manner of things over the years without issue - is something quite different! As with all of the suggestions I have shared around social issues and raw food, much of it will come down to the attitude you choose to adopt. Plus it's as much about what you don't say as what you do. It's also about remembering that everyone has an opinion and we all think we're right. What matters is that you are happy with yours but don't push it on anyone. That way they won't push back! Here follows my top tips for navigating those waters otherwise known as explaining your choices to your family for the first time, or even the umpteenth!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are salads and then there are salads! Many people get used to thinking of a salad as simply some lettuce, tomato and cucumber when in fact there's hundreds of ingredients that can go into a salad, making for countless fantastic permutations. Salads can be as exciting or as simple as you please. The quickest way to transform a salad so that anyone will eat it is with a great dressing.]]></description>

<title>The Truth About Comfort Eating - Part 2</title>

<guid>http://EzineArticles.com/5938517</guid>
<pubDate>Wed, 23 Feb 2011 20:18:21 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[I want to begin by revisiting one of my core philosophies around food, and that is that food, like everything in our universe, is comprised of energy. Just like us, each food, whether cooked or raw, has its own unique energy blueprint and when we choose a food, whether we realize it or not, we are choosing to bring the energy of that food into our body and consequently create some kind of state change or alchemy.]]></description>

<pubDate>Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:11:07 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Isn't it funny how those foods we crave when we feel down, upset or lonely are called "comfort foods", when what they actually do in reality is only add to our discomfort? How many people, do you think, are walking around today carrying an extra 5, 10, 15, 20 lbs or more of "comfort" around their middle, hips or thighs? Can it really be that comfortable to be wearing our pain, now compounded into physical form as well, as if the emotional form was not already enough?!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This time of year is very different as to what you put in your shopping basket. When you want to eat raw what is good to buy and eat during the cold months. How do you avoid the classic error of relying daily on dried fruit and nuts combo which only knocks you off balance and fills you up on sugary, fatty snack foods and never really satisfies you.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[And it's at this time of year that people curious about eating raw are asking, "How on earth do I go or stay raw in winter?" Others, those who may have been eating raw for a few months or on and off for a few years even, may find that this is the time of year where cooked foods start to become a very attractive proposition indeed!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Have you ever dreamed about becoming a raw food coach? If so, it may be an idea that you've toyed with over the past few months, or maybe even years. Well, there's no time like the present to finally realize your dreams of teaching others how they can live and love eating raw (and earn a great income for yourself in the process). Why, you ask?

<description><![CDATA[Isn't it funny how you can have one apparently random thought that then transpires into meaning something really quite profound? Take the phrase If You Eat an "Average" Diet, You'll Have an "Average" Body for example. This is what came to me just a few weeks ago. I can't remember exactly how or where it happened but I know I was comparing the physique of someone who looked slim and healthy with someone who didn't.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I often see in health seekers that we tend to focus on what has not been done or achieved as opposed to what we have already accomplished with body/health/weight as it is easy to forget as we move forward. One of the things I see all too often in health seekers, including my past self, is the (negative) focus on what hasn't been done or achieved with body/health/weight as opposed to what has. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When I first got into raw food back in 1993 there weren't a lot of myths floating around as there weren't many raw foodists or raw food philosophies floating around either!   Since then my, how things have changed! There's more books, resources, foods, theories, promoters, restaurants - you name it, there's more of it! And yes, ultimately this is a great thing... the only thing that frustrates me just a little are the myths that are created out of thin air and then get passed around like Chinese whispers and are taken as gospel! ]]></description>
