A couple of years ago I found a guy called Peter Pure online – he was all about raw food and I have always been interested in raw food but I thought it meant uncooked! We yesterday at an event I met a guy called Iain who put me straight on a few things

Here is how he explained raw food to me

“Raw food is food that still retains enzymes in it - and enzymes are killed at temperatures above 47 degrees C. So if food is heated above this temperature at any stage (when it is being processed, or when we are cooking it at home) then the enzymes are destroyed. We never eat food above 47 degrees because it would burn us, so what need do we have to heat it above this level! We can heat it to just under 47 degrees and we have enjoyable, tasty, warm food in which the enzymes are retained.”

So now I know that I can look into it because the thought of actually eating uncooked veg was enough to put me off totally.

Here’s some info on bread that should scare you! BTW I was one of the big fat people eating bread :)

This is a great testimonial for raw food and Iain said he learnt what he knows from Peter.

I also have a book about acidity in the body and PH Balance that I need to read! I bought it a while ago and never really read it but after talking to Iain I definitely will. The great thing is I am on the right path with what I am eating thanks to the Diet Solution who put me on the right path and am going to continue to limit bread until I can get it out of my life completely.

The evenings are the worse for bread/carb cravings and I need to find something to fill those evening cravings. Any ideas?
