- 227 Days Raw! by drpr

Since
my fast I have changed one aspect of my eating: I stopped eating
breakfast before leaving for work. Instead, I take fresh fruit with me
and eat that at work as my breakfast. At noon I have my normal sized
lunch (and usually I'm hungry by then). In the evening I eat a small
meal because I'm usually not starving. I've been a little better about
drinking more water, these past couple of days. I deliberately did not
weigh myself this morning, but I might do so tomorrow as I am curious
about whether I've bounced back up the scale since resuming solid
foods.
Tomorrow I have a little challenge: I'm starting a new
job and will be attending a staff meeting they are having where I will
be able to meet everyone. This meeting includes a luncheon the company
provides. I imagine that they will not have foods I will want to eat,
so I will have to figure out what to do. Maybe I can take some dried
fruit and munch on that. Times like these are when dried fruit truly
comes in handy!
Oh- and let me tell you about one particular
dried fruit that comes in handy for me: prunes! Yeah, prunes,- the
stuff I used to joke about when I was a kid, when I thought only old
people ate 'em! Occasionally I get - um- stopped up, if y'know what I
mean. I had that problem the first day after my two-day fast ended,
which I thought was strange. Anyway, I have found that one or two
prunes will solve the problem within less than 24 hours. I am really
sensitive to prunes since I started eating raw, so I have to limit myself
to one or I'll have cramps all day. I eat it when I get home from work
or before I go to bed so that by morning, voila- I am cured. A simple
example of using food as medicine. I love avoiding pills. I wish I
could find a food for headaches now! And stuffed sinuses. And ear
infections...

- Listen to your body by bootzey

You have to listen to your own body and not to other folks. You are the only one who can hear it!
People get on my case about the way I eat. I can't eat before 10 am or I'll get queasy. The most I manage to get before I leave the house is a vitamin and orange juice. Around 10:30 I'll eat some fruit and then a big lunch at 1pm. When I get home, I'm usually still satisfied from lunch to eat anything other than a salad or something equally as light. And that's what works for me. I suppose as my needs change, my appetite will with it. We'll see.
