Yes, it can happen....you've been raw for 3 months, 6 months, a year, etc...then, you have a cooked food meal,...and you can't get enough....then you find it hard to get back on the raw food wagon...what do you do?
If this is something you are dealing with, or have dealt with, some suggestions I recommend include:
1. Detox. Detoxify your body again (juice fast for a week, during the day and have a big raw dinner). Purge your cells of the toxic chemicals, excessive sugars and salts
2. go back to your regular raw regimen, but include some cooked foods in your day. A few tasty transition ideas are:
- have a baked sweet potato alongside your raw salad
- enjoy your favourite sprouted bread with nut butter of your choice (Ezekiel Bread is great)
- enjoy a baked butternut squash for dinner - topped with some nutmeg and maple syrup
3. revisit your favourite raw food book or go-to website for recipes, get inspired and try something new. Perhaps you just need a creative boost to keep you going...
4. Reeducate yourself. Commit yourself to reading some literature about raw foodism, and why this diet leads to optimal health and wellbeing.
5. Attend a raw food seminar, cooking class, event or detox vacation to surround yourself with like minded people to help you continue on your raw food journey.
Falling off the wagon happens to the best of us, but recommitting yourself to a raw foodist lifestyle and persevering through this phase, is just one step in your raw food journey you had to experience.
