On Being Raw

If you are struggling to be raw, I recommend...get UNPLUGGED!

Turn off the TV. Watching commercials leads to eating what they are selling. And studies show that the more you like a show, the faster/more you snack. Late night snacking puts on the pounds, weather you're raw or not.

I find a DVD leaves me more satisfied. There aren't any breaks to get up and go to the kitchen. The plot will end and not leave you hanging (unless there's a squeal). A lot of TV shows leave you wanting to watch the next episode; which leaves me wanting to watch more TV to get the satisfaction of an "ending" tonight.

I would love to see more "public service announcements" about eating healthy food.

We need to get out of the habit of eating in front of the TV and raise our kids to NOT get into that habit.
