It's expected that on the path of raw veganism,
there may be some hurdles and bumpy rides.
At first, one may complain the limited food variety,
problem eating out/socialising, temptation by junk food etc...
To ensure a smoother path towards raw veganism,
a holistic approach embracing aspects of
body, mind and soul improvement
may be necessary to cushion those distress mentioned above.
For example,
MIND: Meditation to tame the temptation from junk food
SOUL: Prayers to fortify the faith constantly challenged by unfounded negative remarks
BODY: Qigong to facilitate thorough oxygen/nutrients distribution to avoid Yin-yang imbalance
For some people, they may not want to go totally raw.
That is equally good -- at least raw food is taken everyday.
However, for partial raw foodist,
if possible, try to keep raw and cooked meals separate.
-- our gut will get confused & deprived when both cooked and raw food are mixed.
Lastly, I would like to share one of my favourite raw recipes
which guarantees vitality and clarity to sustain your day :)

ReplyDeleteDear Guazi,
ReplyDeleteFreshly sprouted lentils should taste slightly minty and fragrant.
Did you follow the Simple Sprouting Protocol?

Also, a special emphasis that filtered water/mineral must be used for sprouting. Strictly no tap water :P
Happy experimenting,
