you need more of this
Recently I went to a seminar led by a friend of mine Rian Torres,on the subject of raw food.
You see I have been a veggie for about 15 years now but still was a bit overweight and felt very tired after big meals.I felt I needed to change again hence my attendance at Rian’s seminar.
The upshot of it is that I have given up on alcohol,dairy(milk and eggs) sugar and wheat,yes wheat.I always felt bloated after eating bread and never knew why.Now I do.The result is I have now lost 7 kilos in weight.
I mention all this because if you want to function at an optimum state then you have to get your physical well being in order.
All those big boozy lunches will eventually take there toll.Just look at the number of overweight businessmen you see walking down the street,on their way to the next liquid lunch.
I wonder how they are able to focus on work.
If you want to be successful in any area of your life then you need to have your body functioning at it’s best and that is achieved through having the right diet and taking exercise.
If you want to go down the raw path I suggest you start with breakfast.Cut out the full English breakfast:sausage egg tomato fired bread.There is almost nothing in that to put you in good shape for the day.
Don’t change over all at once,do it a bit at a time to allow your body to adjust.
The best book for raw vegan dishes is Healthful Cuisine by Ann Maria Clements as the other recommend too many nuts
Pricey I know but worth it.
My friend Rian has created the first residential living foods centre in the UK at Kings Worthy near Winchester SO23 7NH.
She is having a grand open day on 7th November 2009 and you are invited to come along from 1030am to 5pm.Entrance is free and there will be free lectures and you can get to taste some great raw food.You can find more details at her website.
Let this be your introduction to raw food.If you want more success in your life then you have to get your body in shape.That way you will operate a peak performance and your mind will be more settled too.A great state to be in the next time you meditate.
Have a great day.
Andrew
