I made Rawtatouille last night. Lightly sauteed eggplant (the only cooked part), chopped some fresh veggies (red bell peppers, green bell peppers, sweet onions, and zucchini) and made a sauce of sundried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic and olive oil (salt and pepper to taste).
After I ate my first serving, and was scooping out my second, it occurred to me that the best, most noticeable part of the raw food diet, so far, is how I feel after eating. I never gorge myself on foods. It really doesn't matter how much I eat; I don't get that full, lethargic feeling afterward. I feel satisfied and energized! There's nothing worse than going to town on a plate of pasta or Mexican food, and then looking for the nearest place to lay down when you're done. I hate that!
Food should give you energy, not lethargy...right?
