Cooked food poison?

Exercise: Push ups and lots of running upstairs to get somewhere (not just for the sake of it)
Food: 6 bananas, mango and spinach green smoothie, dates, green salad with avocado and tomatoes, banana and mango pudding. I make my salads with half an avocado, and this week have had no dressing. I have had about four and a half hours sleep each night, and am doing exceptionally well with full time work and external evening commitments/activity every evening. Plus things to do when I get in including updating blog, journal, food prep, going through mail etc.

I've noticed that I have been doing exceedingly well, on low fat eating. It will be interesting to see any changes when I get my fresh nuts delivered and begin eating them more frequently. Miss my running confined to weekends at the moment, due to it being so dark in early morning.

I was thinking today about cooked food, not wanting it but the fact that some call it poison. Is it? I would say that raw food is what it is, and cooked food is what is. ie in and of themselves they simply 'are'. When eaten however raw food is biologically appropriate and an enabler, it can be broken right down to provide meaningful nutrition. Cooked food when eaten is a drainer. Picture it in your mind for a minute, how do you feel after you have had something cooked? Cooked food can be broken down, but it is not meaningful in the fullest sense of the word i.e. it will sustain life for a short or a long while but it does not enable life in the way it should be enabled in our bodies.

While it may be true cooked food has toxic effects on the body, I will reiterate again sitting on a plate in and of itself it is what it is. Who puts it in your mouth?

It's good to use helpful language when explaining things. Projecting fear onto something is not the greatest strategy . I think trying to do it in a way that promotes truth, integrity and freedom is much more attractive. So for example our brain mainly consists of fat, you decide to eat a doughnut, think about when you chew it down to the fine watery/creamy state before you swallow. What does that mush consist of, white flour, tran fat, sugar, that's it bar any hundreds and thousands, chocolate or jam., oh and possibly artifical additives Now this is digested broken down into its component parts and released into the bloodstream. So this is food for the brain. Ever heard of the term brain fog.... exactly.

I would encourage you to experiment with this way of thinking before putting anything into your mouth. The thing with basing actions on fear is that it can be sabotaging in the end, as you worry that if you fall of the wagon or something you've failed. And then you start to beat yourself up about it and then you're tempted to just jack it all in. Whereas with the other way you are taking responsibility and being intentional. So if cooked food is chosen and it is always a valid choice if not the most beneficial one, you can go on to evaluate how you feel afterwards. May be illuminating.

There is no failure only little adjustments
