QUESTION on YouTube:
I don’t think you talked about the reason why you went back to eating meat in your book. Maybe you talked about it in your newest one but I didn’t get it cos I was too lazy…
Could you tell me why it happened and why it helped and why it couldn’t have been done any other way? I don’t eat meat and I hope I will never have to go back to eating it. I’m not an ethical vegetarian really, just a bit, but the thought disgusts me.
ANSWER:
I was simply a matter of my body seeming to “need” it. I was craving it a lot at that time and felt weak and deprived of something my body required. It was strongly suggested to me by an alternative practitioner that I trusted, and it made a difference in my energy and overall well-being almost instantly.
I have found that it is simply very individualized. There are many ex-vegans who just realized for whatever reason that they needed to incorporate animal protein back in, in some way. Liz Arthur (if I recall her name, blond woman on YT) recently reverted back as well, and went public about it at one point in the past year. There are lots of others, some associated with raw brahs, etc, often due to experiencing some kind of effect from a meatless diet that just does not work for them.
I wish I had a solid explanation, because I don’t. The closest I can come is that some people either biologically or genetically seem to need it. Possibly their bodies cannot pull enough aminos from an animal-protein-less diet. Another factor I do believe in is the “fire Qi” issue, since I receive a lot of benefit from eastern medicine. Cooked foods factor in to that equation. Of course we can cook veges as well, but even that option isn’t explored by hard-core raw foodists. I do personally believe they may be creating a Qi imbalance in their bodies that could at some point affect them adversely. Just my opinion.
Feel free to ask me things in the comment fields, I really am an open book with nothing to hide, and thanks for the interest and views! 🙂
