Dariusz ROZYCKI <[log in to unmask]>: >I'd love to hear what your instincts have to say about food. Tom: I don't practice instinctive eating, because I am a vegetarian for spiritual reasons. However, I think that the concept of taste change as a signal to stop eating has some merit (but is not an infallible guide). Instinctive eating is a legitimate raw diet, worth considering - particularly if other raw diets don't work well for you, and you have no philosophical objections. Now, let me repeat what many others have suggested to you: check out the list archives. There is an enormous amount of info there on instinctive eating - theory, practice, and many special topics. Some of the things you will find discussions on include: - how accurate is our instinct/taste change? - is the instinctive model of nature true-to-facts? - why do so many instinctos quit the diet? - and many other topics. So, look in the archives - you will find that it is worth your time! P.S. the above topics are in the Feb-May 1997 timeframe. Regards, Tom Billings [log in to unmask]
