Adding Positive Foods to Your Diet
Whenever I read about changing to a raw food diet, most of the experts begin with what to eliminate. They talk about eliminating processed foods first, alcohol, caffeine, soft drinks, artificial sweeteners, and the list goes on. It’s a way that feels safe to most people and familiar. After all, the typical “diet plan” starts by eliminating many of the same foods. Some people, however do better by focusing on what they can have instead of what they can’t have or what they are trying to eliminate. I’m sure you know someone who’s like this – if you tell them they can’t do something, they have to absolutely, positively do it! It’s as if you issued them a challenge. They’ll find some way around whatever it is you’re telling them not to do. For those folks, I recommend simply focusing on a list of what to eat, rather than what not to eat. As you’re changing your diet to a raw, plant-based diet and embracing the wonderful health benefits, increase the following foods in your diet: Salads, with lots and lots of different greens Herbal teas – chamomile, peppermint, ginger Avocados Raw, cultured foods Chia, hemp and flax seeds Sea vegetables If eliminating foods feels too frustrating, why not try the opposite? Focus on what you can have, and see if that helps!

Now you just described me perfectly! Issue me a can’t do or have and it’s all I think about till it drives me crazy. I have blow more weigh loss plans doing this! But have been focusing more and more on what I can have, thanks for sharing!!!
If we are in deprivation or scarcity mode, then we attract more deprivation and scarcity:) At Revitralive we focus on the positive, practice gratitude, live in abundance and joy which then attracts MORE gratitude,abundance and joy. When we start feeling “full” in other areas of our life, we don’t need to fill up on food. Until I began to connect with an adundant source of love, energy and positivity outside of myself, I continued to overeat, overspend and over do other things that harmed my spirit. Keep focus on what you do have in your life:)
