You Can Drink Your Fruits and Veggies too. Changing over to 100% raw food right away may be hard for some people due to their personal preferences. Also, by changing over to raw food, the body will begin to detox on its own within a few days. Changing over and doing so gradually would be wise so your body will not have to go through detox so hard at the beginning. One method used is six days on, one day off which seems to work. It is done this way so your body can compare food tastes. After a while, your body will choose what is healthy over unhealthy, allowing the detox to continuing on its own. The feeling of well-being that is felt on the six days should still be desired on the seventh day. Contrasts between food types and their tastes and personal preferences could win for that one-day. But eventually, the non-cooked food should win out. A second method you can try is where you eat raw food “cold turkey” for two weeks straight. At the end of the two-week period, you can make a list to see what you enjoyed most … the processed food or the raw fruits and vegetables. At first, the desire for processed food will still be there but over time your body should adjust. Keep in mind that you do not have to incorporate a full 100% raw food diet forever! You can eat raw foods 80% of the time, for instance, perhaps up until dinnertime, then go cooked for dinner. Just eating more fruits and veggies alone will change your health drastically. |
