How To Start A Raw Food Diet - Discussion

Rosalind emphasizes the emotional aspect of transitioning to a vegan or raw food diet. She highlights the deep-rooted connections people have with food, often using it as a crutch for emotional struggles like pain, anxiety, or anger. This emotional reliance on certain foods becomes a major hurdle in maintaining a healthy diet. Simplifying the digestive process is crucial, as it conserves energy for emotional well-being.

There's a concept of eating to numb oneself, commonly seen in the consumption of comfort foods. Rosalind suggests that alongside improving our diet, it's essential to address and release emotional baggage. Abruptly discarding emotional crutches isn't effective; instead, it's about gradually learning to walk without them while progressing with dietary changes. Balancing emotional healing with dietary progress is crucial for sustained success.
