<<Siobahn, I love ya, but I'm going to disagree with you here. If you know
your limit, a bite or two of "bad" food won't hurt you. My birthday was
Saturday; during the post-worship (please, no anti-church blathering)
coffee-n-donut fest Sunday morning, I let myself have a chocolate glazed
donut. I felt so good then, I almost needed a cigarette (and I don't even
smoke). I felt fan-damn-tastic the rest of the day and I still feel swell
this morning.>>
Hi Dori,
I'm talking more about a meal a week, not a few bites occasionally. I
guess I should also define what I mean when I say clean. Clean to me is
eatwild.com type meats (not grain-fed) and organic vegetables.
Naturally, we all have different levels of abilities to tolerate and purge
toxins. Those who struggle more will feel the difference. Those who reach
a point where eating is 50% or more instinctive are usually sensitive enough
to feel the difference.
I recall being unaware of ANY food causing me any discomfort. Now, I am
really aware of how everything feels in my body. For instance, sitting in
rush hour teraffic makes me feel ill.
I sang the other night in an open air tourist bar here in town ( has a
ceiling and walls but windows all around, no screens, and large garage-sized
doors that are always open. The place was crowded and people were smoking.
I was there for 4.5 hours. I came home feeling extremely ill physically and
felt emotionally out-of-control and full of rage. I realized all I could
smell was smoke and my eyes were still burning an hour after being home. I
talked to others who were there. No one felt what I did. They laughed a
little and called me "overly sensitive". I believe that my sensitivity is
as it should be. My body was working correctly by telling me that I was in
a toxic environment. This is what happens to me with food also.
