Meet Andrew Perlot, a champion of the raw food revolution. He introduced me to smart eating for smart living.
While forum-browsing and working on this site, I came across Andrew Perlot. Who's he? Well, if you haven't heard of him, and I admit I hadn't, then I'm sure you will be hearing more from/about him!
This young man has done a ton of research into man's diet—how
it has evolved from thousands of years ago to present day—and not for
the better, I might add. We've evolved from fruit-eating to
pre-packaged foods, in the blink of an eye, on the evolutionary time
scale, that is. It was time for the raw food revolution to work its magic on me!
Action and change with no motivation
behind it often leads to
failure.
When we change our habits because of a certain
experience we
associate with it—
(usually it's a bad experience)
I also talk about these associations, called Somatic Markers,
here in my other site: A New Sober You
Only after addressing the issues and using Somatic Markers,
are we then able to stick with the (new) plan.
Andrew was 'sick and tired' of his ailment, and did something about it himself, after visiting his regular doctor who told him he would suffer with colitis for the rest of his life and that 'diet had nothing to do with it'.
Yeah, right.
Well, this wasn't good enough for Andrew, and this propelled him into his raw food lifestyle of totally enjoying nature's bounty of raw fruit and raw vegetables. He went on his own raw food revolution and his journey took him to places the likes of which you and I may never visit. What he learned is all spelled out in his books.
He admits he fought the change from the regular Standard American Diet (SAD), a little in the beginning. Most of us do, no matter what type of diet we're on. And face it, we're all on diets! What we eat is our diet!
Doesn't it make sense to make sure that what we eat will actually serve us well?
I think so! And now I know so! Sorry to sound like a know-it-all there, as I'm not trying to sound that way. It's just that sometimes it takes a big stick to hit you over the head before you change your habits. Ouch!
The raw food revolution suggestions work—if you apply it.
Action and change with no motivation behind it often leads to failure. When we change our habits because of a certain experience we associate with it (usually it's an unpleasant experience), it's usually only then are we able to stick with the (new) plan.
Recovering alcoholics and ex-smokers know what I'm talking about. They won't dare drink or smoke because they associate such painful things with it, so that is enough to create a strong resistance to thwart temptation.
After reading why we should really be eating raw fruits and raw vegetables, along with nuts, and seeds—I hope you'll join me, Andrew, and thousands of others who are making a difference in their dietary life, and their lifestyle too and experience the raw food revolution.
What's so hard about changing your lifestyle? Everything! It's not until you sit back and take stock (or reach age 50+ like me!) of how you're living your life that you realize that what you are doing is not beneficial and it could be one-heckuva lot better. Whether it's eating poorly, not exercising (enough), and, importantly, not getting enough sleep. I think we all think we're invincible—but we're not—especially if we keep on with our old bad eating habits. We are what we eat.
I've never felt better—I'm more alert, have a better sense of well-being, and a real purpose in life to treat myself (body/stomach) with the respect it deserves. Growing up, I wish the biology classes had gone more into depth regarding our digestive system—the wonderful thing it is—and how we just totally treat it with disrespect, throwing down any old food we want, and hoping for miracles that our body can maintain itself and survive on junk food!
I happily own Andrew's three e-books:
