The Reluctant Raw Foodist

Are you what you eat?

"I used to be a' foodie' and now I am a "foodist'"

Welcome to my health and wellbeing blog.

I’m not a raw foodist by choice. I was recently diagnosed as having a complicated autoimmune condition including severe Histamine Intolerance and a form of reactive arthritis. I have become hypersensitive to high histamine foods, pollen, dust and some everyday chemicals. My condition affects every area of my life.

I have Mast Cell Activation Disease (MCAD).

I was prescribed a low histamine diet and then a raw food diet to ease my symptoms and over the past 2 years I have overcome my reluctance to a new way of eating and living. I have been experimenting to combine the two diets and I have been learning how to eat a diet comprising mainly of low histamine raw fruit and vegetables and how to change the habits of a life time.

I am starting to feel healthier than I have ever been before. I have also lost 35 lbs in weight.

I will be sharing with you how I got here and I'll be exploring low histamine raw recipes, natural beauty products, how to cope with being "allergic to everything" and generally how to regain health and fitness and live life to the full despite my unusual condition!

Please feel free to message me with any suggestions, questions, or comments. I'd love to hear from you!

The best way to become skilled and effective at anything is through practice. Whether it is managing a business, bodybuilding, networking with other people, writing, running, earning money or cooking, the way to get better at it is to actually spend a significant amount of time doing it.

We like to think sometimes that there are “secrets” which make people effective at what they do, and that if we could just acquire those inside secrets we’d be stunningly successful. Certainly there are many things you can learn from those who are more experienced. Yet there are no secret techniques, there is no inside information, there is no magic pill and there is no supplement which can take the place of practice.

The mind, body and spirit are amazingly adaptive. Anything you do often enough, you will learn to do well. That’s no secret. It’s plainly obvious. Instead of looking for a secret technique, just get busy and get some good, solid, real-world experience. Then you’ll have the ultimate inside information.
