You will come to realize that food is nourishment for your body, just as love, and sleep, and peace of mind. You will want to nourish your body more and more everyday, and with each day, you will see it blossom into something beautiful. This is what comes from eating clean living food, and this is why I strive to stay crude!
I don't know. I think food is probably more like sex ... the dirtier, the better.0 -
cliffs for anyone interested:
OP did dukan diet, lost some weight, decided high protein was bad for her
started vegan diet, regularly went drinking with friends and ate french fries, nachos, and all things delicious (except meat and cheese)
met the banana girl at some festival and decided to dump all her friends and stop drinking
now eats high carb, low fat, and freaks out when she goes to Chipotle
pretty sure that covers it
love this! lets be friends! :-P0 -
My mouth is a desert just thinking about that.All I can say is hummus with no olive oil isn't hummus.0 -
psychosomatic baseless dietary elitism
I actually read it, so, answer this question please.
Did you alienate all your friends in search of new like minded individuals? And by like minded I mean people who obsess about dietary needs and fitness. You seemed like you said thats what you were setting out to do.
Id never abandon my friends because of how they choose to live their life (within reason). Thats just low.0 -

TL;DR sorry, but making Tolstoy jealous. And I thought I saw the word rat in the title...apologies.0

Love meat, hate soy, and love killing *kitten* to eat.0 -
no thank you. I will continue to hang out with my same friends, eat what I want, drink what I want, and refrain from labeling any foods as "good" or "bad". I will do all of those things while still losing weight and feeling great. I can't imagine the stress you must go through on a day to day basis with those kind of restrictions and what it must be like to feel so guilty after a 555 calorie meal from Chipotle.
I'm happy you're so happy but... again, no thank you. good luck with everything.
This^^ No foods are "good" or "bad" or "dirty" or "clean", everything in moderation. i think it's silly to feel guilty for having fun with friends. And there are other things to do besides drink and eat with friends. You only have one life, live it up!0 -
I wanted to share with you all a little bit about my dietary lifestyle. While I don’t let a label define who I am, my food choices fall into the high raw low fat vegan category... etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
Here is the real point of this post.
Translation - I want more hits on my blog!0 -

I think that's the problem here - and why this post maybe rubbed me the wrong way. It's clear from past diet and drinking habits that the OP cannot handle anything in moderation. It's all or nothing with her so it's easier for her cut everything out, rather than make an attempt at building a moderate, healthy relationship with food and drink. Much like a recovering alcoholic can't even have one beer without falling off the wagon.0 -
This is fascinating to me because I really want to start a vegan diet with a lot of raw foods. When I load up on the vegetables, my body feels better. I am curious to see how I feel when I cut out everything else. I might like it, I might hate it, but I won't know until I try~
I have been vegetarian/pescatarian for five years and it has been great, and I finally feel ready to take it a step further. I'm currently finishing off the last of the animal products in my pantry and from now on I will be vegan! Yay!
Thank you for sharing your story ^__^0 -

Whatever works for you.

Holy triggering-food-is-the-devil-control-control-control post Batman!
Seriously OP, while I'm happy that you (seem to be) happy, as so many posters before me have posted- woah. I know raw vegans. They still hang out with the rest of us and don't think food is bad and evil and all that jazz.0 -
what are visual migraine auras?0

I'm glad you've found something that you love. However, I've found the same bliss and satisfaction in all the foods you deem evil. There is no need for everyone to label foods the way you do. There are no good or bad. Foods are what you make of them, in the context of a balanced diet, all foods processed or not, are perfectly fine.

I'm healthy, happy and I'm eating the foods that I like. This is something I can do for the rest of my life :drinker:0 -
I think the real problem with this thread is that someone tried to imply 5 martinis is too much.

That would be me! And I'm a drinker.
5 martinis (usually a double shot pour) is the better part of a bottle of vodka or gin. Drink nearly a whole bottle 5 times a week and no wonder she wasn't feeling well.0 -
