Especially the one about having the rest of your life. How inspirational! I have Marilyn's American Vegetarian Cookbook, which has some fabulous recipes in it, but on thing that I wonder about: I understand that eating fruit first thing in the morning is good for your body's cleansing process. But she claims that eating "concentrated carbohydrates" in the morning (after such fruit) can result in a huge drain of energy. I started eating fruit and drinking water first thing when I get up, then after I get ready for my day I have a "second breakfast" of complex carbs like whole grains and protein. This totally works for me, though the FFL book wants you to eat fresh fruit until noon. I am kind of confused by this because many "diet for weight-loss" plans have you eating whole grains and protein in balance at every meal. I am hypoglycemic so this works for me, but I do eat fresh fruit and drink water when I first wake up. Any thoughts on this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23378467.post-33041336427146547052010-05-10T08:39:08.316-07:002010-05-10T08:39:08.316-07:00:)

I tuned in inwards and ate the correct portion for dinner - just enough to keep me satisfied and yet light enough to not over tax my digestive system while i am sleeping later.<br />Didnt finish the fish and eggs (instead of clean plate mentality).<br />A funny thought came to my mind - "I am not a dog, why should i finish everything that is served? I eat to satisfy & nourish myself" :P<br />Funny thought, but profound (at least to me).<br />Wow it has been looong time since i last blogged about my eating habits. Ever since i got the hang of beginner's level of intuitive eating, i havent been writing much about it.<br />Now that I consider myself at the "intermediate" level, here's my understanding of the levels.<br />Beginner- dare to eat WITHOUT rules, eat what i feel like eating, not restricting due to body consciousness. Initiated from within (mind/heart) instead of outwardly (eg. need to look thin therefore eat less/ cant eat this and that). Courage to risk gaining weight as a side effect of intuitive eating. Lesser & shorter episodes of emotional eating/binges. Forgiveness comes easily.<br /><br />Intermediate - more in tune with hunger/fullness scale. Able to adjust accordingly - the food intake to my body/mind/soul's needs. Able to accept my body as it is. Able to make wise food decisions (what my body/mind/soul really needs instead of emotional eating). Very very rare/ very very short episodes of emotional eating. Can get back to normal eating almost instantly (next meal I am already eating normally). No/very minimal feeling of guilt, just awareness. I am so glad i found Intuitive Eating. It's a beautiful concept to live by. Where I realise i dont have to struggle. Life is NOT a struggle. We just BE.Thanks for making a difference in my life! *hugs & kisses*Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486105103025948887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23378467.post-35985927452282445142010-04-18T17:19:46.981-07:002010-04-18T17:19:46.981-07:00That is really cool, intuitive eating to lose weig...That is really cool, intuitive eating to lose weight.

It's a slow process for me, but I keep coming back to that principle versus following a diet. <br /><br />I'm interested to read more of what you have to say. I'll keep looking around on your blog. I'm glad to find people who also agree with this way of thinking, and I'm a born-again Christian as well. <br /><br />Leah at www.leahs-new-ending.blogspot.comLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777597846226977709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23378467.post-89753329634701783872009-07-10T00:06:28.347-07:002009-07-10T00:06:28.347-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23378467.post-17734978900096015602009-03-21T20:23:00.000-07:002009-03-21T20:23:00.000-07:00Thank you!
