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!

Baked Zucchini Fries - Approx. 75 calories for 1 serving (makes 2 servings)

Needed a crunchy yummy snack for tonight, and this was perfect! half a zucchini is a perfect serving size, but don’t feel too bad eating a whole zucchini! They look naughty to eat, but they really aren’t :)

Ingredients:
1 zucchini, cut into strips
1/2 cup bread crumbs with herbs and salt mixed in
1 egg white

Directions:
1. cut zucchini into strips
2. coat zucchini with egg white
3. put coated zucchini pieces into a bag with the bread crumb mixture. shake until coated.
4. bake in oven at 425 for about 10-20 minutes.

enjoy :)

p.s. it’s really good in marinara sauce :)

When you think about it, every other animal on the planet (apart from one that has been domesticated and is fed by man) eats its food raw, does it not? Does a tiger get rheumatoid arthritis? Do wild monkeys become obese? Do giraffes have eating disorders? Do rabbits become depressed? Hmm…some food for thought?….
