50% raw

[Andrew Gubb]

After giving up a really aggressive 100% raw diet, I seem to have found a balance at roughly 50% raw. This is just eating what I feel like eating. By focusing on being conscious on how things make me feel when I eat them I've slowly started wanting to eat better. Nowadays I never buy junk food (except the occasional chocolate, but since this morning I think I'll give that a pass in future too. Unless I'm depressed and need to fill the void and make myself more depressed, which chocolate is great for).

I really crave raw foods! I also love sprouts. My body asks for it. I eat too much cooked and my body goes, "hey! This feels heavy and dead! We need some life energy here!" Sprouts, even cooked sprouts give huge amounts of life energy. I actually find I can't eat too much, I just can't take all that energy.

I wonder if my body will naturally become 100% raw over time if I listen to it?

It is great to see that someone is thinking for themselves and using math. Aren't you afraid of the scary old math master?

One group found that eating 85% raw was ideal for them. My study shows that the ideal ratio of raw to cooked food is 1 + square root of 5 divided by 2. It is 61.80339887... % raw. It is the golden ratio or the Divine Proportion. The Fibonacci sequence approaches this number.

^Are you serious???????

Well 61.8% is better or more than 50%. Actually the stress of measuring the food that you eat is not good for health. Whereas fun and humor is good for health. Math is FUNdamental. Are you too serious?

[Andrew Gubb]

^No, I don't measure what I eat. 50% is an estimate.

This topic is a bit disappointing, not because the posts aren't good, but because eating sucks..

Why should I need to do anything to keep myself alive? For real, I have access to every field of technology that I can imagine, and yet.. I still have to move my jaw up and down, while articulating the position of food - mulched food, around in my mouth, and then swallow it all...

How much longer til we get to replace flesh with steel, and annihilate the need to eat, defecate, breathe, and sleep?

Lol - I love that Why do we do this to ourselves, eat sweets, drink coffee, alcohol, etc? So many people do it although it's very bad for us... I somehow always manage to convince myself that it's actually good when I do it.

You can do it much easier, if you want - you can do an energy practice and learn to draw more and more energy from the air you breathe. However, I doubt that living in a polluted city, it is possible to eliminate all foods.. On a clean mountain, yes.

I am certain you can eliminate the need for food through technological means, such as a perfusion or eating "combat rations" but I don't think that is what you have in mind. This reminds me of a line from Star Trek said by Seven of Nine - "Oral consumption is inefficient" The Borg also thought that food should be eliminated, as well as individuality.

combat rations? I suspect that's been my diet for the last 3 years.. I usually get one meal a day in, but it's not required.

as far as I know, anyway. <--- more on that

Everyone I know says I do it wrong, but I'm still alive and feel physically well, so.. perhaps they don't know what wrong actually is..

One of my friends achieved breatharianism in the city by the process of 21 days. I'm betting on sungazing myself... check back in 8 months

When you become a robot with no conscious and have to plug yourself into the wall for energy?

You eat to get energy from the food you eat. No eating = no gained energy = lethargy, followed by your body eating all fats, then proteins in your muscles, followed by death if prolonged.
