Re: IS THIS SAFE FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

Hi John,

Yes I changed my eating habits after the MC, and it was A LOT easier after not eating anything at all for 12 days. Even a carrot was DELICIOUS! :) And, the MC helped me to see that most of my eating was for other reasons than hunger or even real pleasure (mainly I ate out of habit, or stress, or boredom, or from watching tv and seeing something look good and wanting it, etc.)

For the first few weeks after I came off the MC in early September I was eating VERY healthily, over 75% raw foods most days. Lots of salads, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. Slowly but surely over the last few weeks my old habits are creeping in - One night I had a bag of potato chips for dinner. Another night I ate only Halloween candy. I felt sick afterwards. :( But now I know how great it feels to eat healthy and I know I will continue to improve. I plan on going on another MC in December and I hope to lose about the same amount of weight as I did on the first one (15 lbs) but weight loss is not my main goal. I found the MC to really put me in tune with my body and respect it, and really crave and want foods that were good for it. When I first went off the MC, junk food didn't even taste good. Only good healthy things tasted "right". I really believe when we are in tune with our bodies, junk food tastes like what it is - junk. But when our bodies are full of toxins, we don't taste it as junk.

Okay, I think I've rambled on long enough. Again, good luck to you!!!
