Turning raw can be quite a big deal. It can divide loving relationships, because changing the way you eat is actually a huge deal. It doesn’t have to be if handled well, but most of the time it can be a real rollercoaster ride.
Emma MacDougall, has written a very heartfelt informative ebook that is essential reading for the couples who have decided to go raw.
Its not very often that two people in a relationship will go into eating raw at the same time, its super rare actually.
Most of the time its one of you that makes a big decision to change your life by changing the way you eat.
It might not seem like a big thing, but oh it is! When you look back to your relationship, a lot of it revolves around food, eating out, sharing desserts, and cooking together.
But if one of you starts to become ill (like I did) and really want a new direction in life, then raw eating can really draw you in.
It’s usually a similar story... You (or the partner) starts looking into raw, you spend hours on the internet, looking at YouTube videos and interviews, reading raw books and getting really into the lifestyle and actually getting excited about it. But, if your other half does not share this excitement, then it can be a super drama.
The most amazing thing about eating mostly raw foods is what it can do for your mind. Yes that’s right, it changes the way you think.
I speak from experience and I know Emma does too. You start to really connect with nature and fall in love with the beauty of the world, but you also begin to look into other matters and issues that you may have not given a second thought to.
I was quite obsessed with raw and used to get really upset when my husband would not think the dishes I was making were as great as I did. He would always say its ok, but I still like cooked food.
After spending a long time preparing food I would feel quite hurt when he went to the fridge and made himself something he was used to.
Because of the way I was awakening to other things in my life, it really freaked him out. I started looking into what some would say ‘conspiracy theories’, but I would say perhaps the truth to what is really going on in the world that most others just choose to ignore.
Me Raw, You Cooked is Emma’s story of how she found the raw diet and what it did to her relationship. She actually split up from Rod for quite a while, calling off their wedding and living apart, both not knowing what was going to happen in the future.
This ebook is also a love story and I shed a tear a few times reading their beautiful letters to each other.
I am very happy to say as well that they were recently married and have learnt to deal with their raw relationship, and have worked out how to keep each other happy.
Emma has also got some fantastic recipes in this ebook as well, which are aimed at appealing both the diets of the raw person and non raw. It’s more than just a book you read once… you can come back to time and time again.
If you are raw yourself, and someone you share your life with doesn’t quite understand, then leaving a copy of this ebook for him or her will really help. You can both figure out how to speak to each other with not getting too emotional. Life is all about give and take and Emma really helps for you to learn how to do this.
Priced at approx $13.00 US it really is an inexpensive way to sort out a huge drama you may possibly have with being raw!
