I hear it all the time. People tell me my diet is boring and they could never eat in such a limited way. If they only knew how unlimited and free it is to eat this way. A raw food diet is actually an adventure in eating fun. There are more choices then you can imagine. There is no set particular organic raw food health diet. It is as in any style of eating. You choose your own preferences in meal and snack choices that are unique to you. You get your favorites down and roll with it. Funny thing is, the last thing this seems like is limited. You can eat like a pig and not gain any weight. The energy and improvement in mood is so dramatic. The freedom that comes from not cooking or extensive cleaning up, results in a streamlined life that grooves with the high paced world we live in.

I have always felt that fruit was a huge treat. Nothing to me is more luxurious than the flavors of pineapple and mango, coconut and kiwi or any fruit for that matter. As a kid getting to have some watermelon was always a big deal for me. As I grew older it seemed that there was no room for that kind of fun in my life. Now I feel like a kid again. Everyday can be a tropical paradise dream. Flavors of all foods have become more intense and my mood level has skyrocketed to a zone I haven’t been in since my childhood days. Organic raw food health feels so incredibly good.

The dangers of fruit sugar are completely unfounded. There is never a need to limit this kind of treat because it is packaged perfectly by mother nature. Fruits contain fiber and chemicals that slow the absorption of sugar to a level that works extremely well. So sugar “by itself” may indeed be a problem, however when you are eating fruit, you are not only eating sugar, you are eating all the vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytonutrients, etc. associated with the fruit. It’s a perfectly packaged miracle. Nature knows exactly what it’s doing.

Now for me, fruit makes up a large part of my diet, however there are many more raw food choices. It’s infinite what you can come up with that works for you. I will explore all the unlimited possibilities that an organic raw food health plan can offer. Right here I just want to let you know that the world of raw food is the opposite of restriction. It’s about being set free from the requirements of cooking and the fatigue that comes from digesting an unenlightened food. Words cannot convey what it feels like to indulge in raw food decadence. Down a luscious smoothie. Engulf mounds of raw chocolate made with delicious coconut oil and sweetened perfectly with heavenly agave nectar. Gobble sweet strawberries like popcorn. In a hurry? Grab 5 bananas. That should carry you with more energy than you’ll need for a while. Throw in your favorite salad and a hand full of macadamia nuts. You wont believe how good you’ll feel and you’ll never gain a pound. If you feel like eating some cooked food by all means enjoy. That’s what organic raw food health is all about. The freedom to eat whatever you feel like and don’t let anyone tell you differently.

The thing is…. as I found out to my surprise, it’s extremely easy to get hooked on raw food. Whether you eat raw exclusively or combine it with some cooked food, one thing is for sure. Your taste buds become enlivened and everything tastes better than ever before. Indulge yourself.
