Yuk, I feel Yuk!!!

Funny, I always lamented not having a 'pro-pah' raw food restaurant in London when i transitioned to raw - I felt as if my raw experience wad not so exciting as I had never realy tasted the virtues of the beautiful creations that I was adept to seeing on raw 'porn' sites. Today was my first experience of having the real introduction to the amazing restaurant creations of Chad Sarno. The food at Saf is going to be incredible!! I mean it tastes amazing and Chad really is the man to create a wonderful restaurant experience from amazing mostly raw ingerdients.

Personally though I would rather have a big bowl of salad 'a la Poppy' any day of the week. After tasting everything on the menu, I had this unbalanced feeling, a bit like when I ate cooked where I felt unsatisfied. My belly was full but my soul felt empty. I realise that the creations I had just eaten lacked the essentials for me, fresh leafy greens, dense avocadoes, salty seaweeds, water dense cukes, sensual olives. I am so happy with the food that I prepare for myself on a daily basis I wouldn't swap it for anything. I think the gourmet raw food must feel healthy for somebody on a cooked diet, and must present a wonderful dining experience for the raw foody wanting to dine out, but nonetheless it does nothing for my body. Seriously I was craving greens after that meal, I felt so awful. I would never have anticipated that I could arrive at this level of nutritional simlpicity a year ago, and frankly I had I know I would have thought twice about becoming raw but now its ridiculous how sensitive my body is to food. Even nuts now do me no good whatsoever. It seems like a ridiculous sacrifice to make to reduce my food choices so significantly, but I enjoy eating like never before without the emotional attachment to food, and I feel so great on fresh plant food - I am literally soaring with energy. I feel like am flying on a completely different level of energy, sometimes I even feel like I am going too fast and need to calm down - more green juices! I love the experience of life on this plane of energy, it feels exactly how is was meant to be. Juice Feast begins again Monday, buying produce tomorrow - I can not wait. The experience of life just keeps on exploding, love, love, love!

Paris for a couple of days, I hope this week - reconnecting with my darling love whom I miss. Dreamt of a 'Jack and the Beanstalk' type Garlic tree last night and I had to climb to the top to get the last two amazing bulbs. Strange! Reminds me, when does wild garlic come around, must be soon..Yum! Woken up this morning mby David, loving words. Made my day. A think each day is defined about how it begins, positive morning thoughts can make a whole day beautiful!
