Why do People struggle with a Raw Food Diet?

Most people who start with a Raw Food Diet make a sudden switch from eating processed food. That is a major shift for the body.

First they feel better, but then they start losing energy, can't get out of bed, lose muscle mass or even have digestive issues.
Now ... digestive issues are serious ... we have to assimilate the nutrients to be in vibrant health.
When the body can't do that it will not get enough protein. Crvings happen and some start with emotional eating.

A slow change to raw food is better because otherwise they'll experience an increasing amount of toxic load which is not beneficial.Drink enough water so that the body is able to flush the toxins out.

The body has three choices:
1. put it in the liver,
2. push it through the skin,
3. store it as fat.

Bacterial and Yeast infections might happen.

We live in a toxic world ... mercury, lead, PCBs

When we do not absorb enough nutrients cooked Food cravings happen, like pregnant women experience it ...
If you get enough calories, your cravings will subside.

We need: sugars, plenty of greens, fat and protein.
The protein has to be easily digestible.
Almonds, sunflower seeds, pumkin seeds provide calories. Not enough calories cause imbalances

When you don't eat enough nuts and seeds you might better use protein powder.

Undereating and overeating can also mess up our endocrine system.
Best solution:

1. Make it simple and start gradually ... not so many herbs, superfoods
2. use foods that help to remove the toxins, that is Chorella. It can even remove heavy metals. Leafy green vegetables are also great.
4. Stay committed, but switch slowly so that you can do it for a long time or even for life

I believe that it is great to accompany this with JULE of the Orient which contains lots of nutrients.
