Eating Less, Eating Better
Starting a new eating routine is a challenging ordeal to accomplish, but I feel like I am finally getting it to a point where I feel comfortable. I am convinced that natural hygeine is the key to having exuberant and vibrant health. Their concepts of food combining and only fruits before noon sound very appealing to me. It is a mostly raw diet, and that is something I definitely will enjoy. I am not a fan of cooking, and I know how much cooking damages food. Ideally, I hope to go completely raw in the near future. I just need to find a way to make some raw vegetables palatable. Perhaps soaking them in water will do some good…
At this point, I do not eat on a set schedule. I eat when I feel hungry and that is it. I eat “meals” at least three hours away from each other, and only one “concentrated food” at a time. I can mix the concentrated foods with non-concentrated foods. A concentrated food is a food without high water content, like walnuts or cooked food. The thing that is fascinting to me is our bodies are over 70 percent water and yet we do not have 70 water in our diet. The key is to up the high water content foods and lower the concentrated foods to balance out the body’s natural system. I find this whole concept very interesting.
I recently bought a book entitled Fit for Life. I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of it, but it is an amzing book so far. I am about halfway done reading it and it is something I could see myself adapting to, their way of life. I decided I am going to try it and see how my results are. If they are promising, I will keep it. If not, I will look for another diet. It is not that I need to lose weight. I am at a healthy weight and I am getting in good shape, but my energy level is still a little low, so I am trying to find the diet that will boost my energy levels to the point I can start accomplishing more and having the energy to do so. I know this post is shorter than my usual posts, but I really have to get to working out. Have a good day.

Some people ‘eat to live’ while other people ‘live to eat.’ What is your position on the issue of eating only locally grown, seasonal foods, to help reduce pollution and promote more sustainable living? Would you be willing to change your habits for the good of the planet?

Diets are being recommended based on what blood type you belong to. For example, 0-types are supposed to eat more meat. Vegetarian diets are preferable for A-types.
