youthfulness

[opiumpoppyfields]

I kinda wonder if sometimes people think I'm being arrogant when I talk about how young I look due to raw food. Cuz I mention it a lot.

I'm actually not doing it for that reason. The reason I do it is because people tend to be shallow, and if eating a certain way can make them look younger/healthier/thinner, etc, it is more likely they will try it out. This is more alluring to most vs. "This will make you feel more energetic and happier and healthier!"

I use it as a tactic to get people interested. Just FYI.

also, one of the reasons i chose quinoa is because it is a low GI food, and when I have a lot of fat in my system and then eat a lot of sweet fruit again, my bloodsugar likely spikes and my face gets rashy. i have not been consistent enough with the low-fat to really see a difference, i always end up binging on gourmet raw stuff cuz i love it so much, haha. also i got back into those sorts of things when my relationship started to get really bad for me - first lots of cooked carbs, then to get off those i did all raw with as much fat as i wanted, it was comfort food and i ate SO MUCH during those months, but now im just struggling because its yummy.

yeah any stress is the worst time for raw eating, I do get off it every time, and then obviously feel double stressed and less healthy. getting back on raw is a whole separate story, usually only fresh predominantly carrot juices every morning help me get back on track, or green smoothies, but otherwise keep craving cooked)
