The Feeling of empty Stomach

it is in our choice to enjoy the feeling of our empty stomach or we can feel the need to nourish the stomach with food with energy from our surroundings but i am finding that i am not living to eat i am living to spread love to other formless beings because we are all made of form and energy cannot be percieve we breathe it our universe runs off of it and yet we are all part of it. there is no doubt in the moments we inhale intend something exhale always creating with our minds.

hi i saw your post and i was concerned about the same thing, i am a high level athlete, and concerned about my protein as i lost my muscle mass, my personal trainer, physical therapist, coach ( of pro athletes as well) told me raw was definatly the way to go, but that if i can be 80 percent raw then it would be okay, they wanted me to get my protein thirty minutes after working out, with simple carbohydrates in a protein shake, the insulin level raising from the simple carbs makes sure the protein is taken directly to the muscle :) hope that helps

n recent years, raw food diets have gotten a lot of attention, mostly because of their ability to shed pounds quickly. But people have also provided amazing testimonials about raw food's ability to cure diabetes, asthma, skin diseases, migraines, and even cancer.

Although eating only fruits, vegetables, and nuts may sound like a big drag, many “raw foodists” claim that once they’ve made the transition, they learn to prefer apples to oatmeal, or even broccoli soup to a hamburger. But it’s getting started that can be the hardest part.

Mental preparation

More than half the challenge for many people who decide to “go raw” is battling the emotional connection to food. “How will I live without ice cream? I’m never going to be able to go to the movies without eating popcorn! What about my mom’s banana bread with cream cheese?”

These are real concerns, because when it comes to food, your mind will betray you long before your body will. Many raw foodists recommend making the decision to go 100% raw right from the start, because having only a little bit of cooked food will cause people to return to their old habits. Others decide to start gradually, removing meat the first week, dairy the next, then sugar. You may need to experiment, but do so with the understanding that experienced raw foodies really believe that you’ve got to buckle down and just go for it, 100%.

Equipment

To make your transition to raw easier, it’s important to have the right equipment.

For the first 3-4 weeks:

Sharp knives and a good cutting board: you’ll be cutting lots of veggies and fruit
Filtered or bottled water: you’ll be drinking lots of it!
Tupperware: for storing chopped fruit, vegetables, and soups
Bigger investments, once you’ve decided to really “go raw:”

Mandolin: a state-of-the art vegetable cutter that saves time and cuts veggies and fruits in fancy shapes. Making the food attractive makes a big difference in the psychology of eating raw (about $20-30 US dollars)
Vitamix: a high performance blender for pureeing soups, making smoothies, chopping nuts, etc. An expensive purchase (runs between $400-500 US dollars), but well worth it
Dehydrator: a tool that will allow you to “cook” food without destroying the essential enzymes needed to keep you healthy. Important tool during winter months, when your body is craving hot food ($125-300 US dollars)
Coffee grinder: for grinding herbs (less than $20)
Recommended books

One of the most important tips for going raw is finding good recipes. You will get bored eating only salads and fruits, so it’s important to find quick and easy recipes that can be whipped up fast, before you break down and order a pizza. These are some favorites.

I approach all things in life with a sense of curiosity. A sense of wide-eyed wonderment, like a child. Each meal is an experiment and through self-awareness I can learn how to make optimal decisions. By optimal decisions, I mean decisions which will allow me to reach my goals in life.

High Fives,

Robby

Here is the FAQ:

And please, if anyone tells your something that turns you off from 80/10/10 or you have an experience that turns you off from 80/10/10 please let me know. I need to know what others are experiencing/thinking so I can be more accurate when talking about the program.

High Fives,

Robby
