You can overcome compulsive eating by eating healthy food. The more junk food you eat the more you crave it. When you eat healthy food, your body starts to crave it.

We are the only creatures on earth that cook food. Cooking kills not only the enzymes. Cooking alters protein and fiber, destroys vitamins and minerals, and kills all enzymes. Nutrients we desperately need are being destroyed. The effect is slow and gradual, but inevitable. It gives us slow death.

Raw food is the key to good health. As those natural fibers enter the stomach, it lets out a sigh of relief. “Finally, a meal easy to digest.” Stomach enzymes discover the rich abundance of nutrition supplied by the hand of God, just a gold mine of nutrition. Happily, the stomach enzymes release their precious cargo into the blood. It’s Christmas time for the 3 trillion cellular residents of the body.

Pizza sludge, dead animal parts, chemicals and additives, grease, sticky white flour goo, is garbage in the stomach. Have you ever lived through a garbage strike? Every corner and crevice becomes a storage spot of such garbage. Flies and putrid odors abound. In the stomach, organs have been overloaded. Every day it has endured forced labor, carrying loads of toxic fat, cholesterol, animal flesh, additives and foods saturated with salt.You feel like garbage because your bloodstream is overloaded with toxic waste. After feeling bad for a day, and possibly suffering a headache, the toxic mucus slime of overindulgence is gradually removed from the body.

Sickness is the bodies’ garbage strike. It is protesting against being overworked and underpaid nutrient-wise. Eating raw food ends the ‘garbage strike’ within the body. The cells cheer the first meal of raw food. No more heavy digestive work. Lots of high-paying nutrients. The strike is over. Every cellular resident goes on a garbage cleanup, removing the leftover pizza sludge, chocolate bars and cola residues. The T-cells molecules into the blood to be removed.

Remarkable things start to happen: periods of exhilaration, energy and clarity of mind. This is only the first experience of the greater benefits yet to come, that will testify of God’s intention for us to be exuberantly happy and abundant.

Weakness, headaches or dizziness are common symptoms of detoxification. Even one day on fruit can cause bloating, gas, diarrhea, indigestion and a feeling of weakness. Your faith and patience will be tested. Do not be discouraged. Your stomach will have developed a thick coating of mucus to protect the lining from hydrochloric acid that is so strong it can eat through metal.

Instead of eating a steak, eat three peaches and some grapes. Fruit is easy to eat, it requires less digestive secretions than a steak. Your body reacts by sending you to the bathroom for most of the day. As you eat more raw food, your body will, over a few weeks, increase the cells needed to comfortably digest fruit. The fruit will then digest without gas, diarrhea, or any discomfort whatsoever. Your body has adapted its enzyme secretions to whatever you have been eating.

Eating a large steak after 6 months of eating raw food, the meat will sit in the stomach like a lead brick. The stomach has become adjusted to lighter eating. Taking a heavy starch meal will fill the sinuses with mucus. Eating cheese will cause constipation. A greasy meal will cause headaches, tiredness and oily skin. Now, your body is reacting to your old diet as if it were poison.

Eating the standard North American diet will cause your body to function abnormally. The blood, digestive secretions, and the biochemical balance of the body have become adjusted to function as best it can under a barrage of toxic food, caffeine, saturated fats and heavy proteins. In this state, your body will never crave fruit or vegetables. Change that balance and your body will react as it would to any addiction. You will never be caught at three in the morning, raiding the refrigerator for toxic or junk foods.

Man makes food to be addictive. The industry profits as your health deteriorates. God makes food satisfying, nourishing and cleansing. Money is useless in heaven. God cares about your health because He loves you.

When cravings hit, it’s time to hang tough and have faith. The body will rebalance and reprogram and the desire for that favorite junk food will disappear. We recommend 30 days of eating nothing but raw fruits and vegetables as a way to regain control over food. By the end of this period, all unnatural cravings will have disappeared and you will discover a health and well being that will surprise you. Eating raw food for thirty days is a true challenge, but if you use your newly discovered skills, you will joyously succeed. And when you do, the gain will be a blessing to you for the rest of your life, a gift of God.
