Eat Raw Up Until Dinner Time
Are
you interested in a raw food diet, but don’t think you can do it all
the time? You don’t have to, certainly not to start. Many of us are
conditioned to think of food as reward and comfort. We look forward to
the end of the day, having dinner with our families, or going out to
dinner with friends.
Try eating raw foods throughout the day.
If you go to work every day, take carrots, apples, grapes or dried
fruit with you to munch on. If you usually go out to lunch during the
day, try to go places where you can get a salad. If you pack a lunch,
include sprouts and fruit with it. Steamed brown rice and vegetables
and a little fruit might not sound very interesting, but it’s a good
energy lunch. If you’re like many people, those fast food lunches make
you want to crawl under your desk and take a nap in the afternoon! They
make you sluggish and tired. A lighter lunch of raw foods can keep you
energized throughout the day.
The business culture is different
these days, and there’s less of a routine than there used to be with a
morning “coffee break” and then “lunch hour” and an afternoon “break.”
That routine doesn’t work for a lot of people any more, but you can
still get hungry during the day. By taking a variety of raw foods with
you to work, you can munch periodically during the day. Sometimes it’s
better to eat to avoid getting hungry. If we let ourselves go too long
until we get ravenous, that’s when it’s easier to make poor food
choices. Eating raw foods periodically throughout the day also keeps
your metabolism humming along, and keeps your blood sugar at steady
levels...
