Raw Food Experiment Day 125 - The Results are IN!!

[1supkillsbats1]

no sugar for over 4 months? so no fruit for 4 months?

[davehutchinson67]

I think alot of people forgot...when you change your diet...and your body detoxes....all those toxins hit your liver. You MUST detox your liver. Coffee Enemas are the ONLY way to really get at it.

[smlndolphn]

Your skin is gorgeous!! Has your skin always been this smooth or has it become more smooth since beginning your raw diet?

[Xiaolian7]

I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance.

Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. People are being killed, tortured, put into concentration camps and have organs harvested from live people, simply because of their belief. More than 3400 Falun Gong practitioners have died at the hands of CCP in the past 12 years.

[FathomlessJoy]

Thanks for chronically all of this! I really enjoyed watching your progress. As 75% raw for months I can attest to the sense of the smell thang. In fact it is all of my senses, the entire body is entirely sensititve and aware. I can hear the slightest sounds, especially relaxed at night; I hear small cars miles away; I hear a train go through a town over 15 miles away. I can smell scents that were in the house weeks ago. It is like I can "feel" the sounds/smells, in my whole brain and body <3

[photoboy17]

You are awesome for doing this and have an awesome vloging personality! Thanks for posting and sharing your experiences with us!! It makes me want to go raw and try it out one day. :P

[GetYourGreensOn]

Your eyes are so bright n shiny!...

[deuce747]

I know this is from 3 years ago BUT I watched your transition through the whole experiment and when I saw the picture for this video I thought "WOW something happened" BEFORE I saw this! I am glad to know it was just a reaction! Your skin and eyes REALLY lit up over the course. I haven't had a chance to go through your channel yet but I hope you have stuck with it.

Peace and Love!

[ChrisAtWar93]

did it smell better than it tasted?

[SteveAndrewLangford]

You are amazing and beautiful, thank you!

[dillpickleboocutie]

I'm totally agreeing on you with the smell thing! I have an amazing nose already, and being raw for almost 2 weeks it has increased. I tottallly agree though!

[sjsulli]

I have watched so many of your videos and i just realised you are from Perth! Im from Perth too and Im currently starting 30days vegan, followed by 30days raw with the option of a cooked meal a week and then Im hoping there is no turning back as I have failed at going raw a few times and i put this down to not having a supportive community around me. I would love to get in contact with you and help find some like minded people!!

[stedyplotn]

YES I NOTICE. u look like a fish today rather than a person (but still cute though ;))

[53Aubergine]

I I think by drinking the alcohol (a CNS depressant) you muddied your data on how you reacted to cooked food. You can't say for sure that the food was sedating you and not the alcohol.

Also, Vitamin K is a blood thinner and found in all leafy greens, even poor old iceberg.

[imagine842]

Raw baby!!!!!!

[TheRocksolid89]

wow! You look beautiful, like, through and through..

[sweetcandy802]

i love your eyes. so beautiful!

[TaharaMable]

Just because you feel that way after eating gnochi doesn't mean that it is bad for a human body to eat. Your body is more complex than saying eat only raw and it is 'detoxed' The term detoxed is wrong and it doen't exist. The truth is that Our bodies change and get used to what we eat. And if your body isn't used to wheat or salt it will react strongly. Raw food is scientificly proven to cheat your body for all the anti oxydents that need heat to be activated.

[jimiBEbandit]

@TaharaMable scientifically proven by who?

[ckpeltomaa]

@TaharaMable I agree about the part about slightly cooking some vegetables to help break them down, and the Chinese cook their veggies in a wok. Personally, though, I would stay away from gnocchi and other such processed foods until scientists come up with a genetic makeover :-)

[ralbala]

@TaharaMable : I am considering going raw but i saw this statement from you and it got me thinking: " Raw food is scientificly proven to cheat your body for all the anti oxydents that need heat to be activated." Where can I find the research on this?

[wmumart]

if you are 125 days on raw foods can you tell me how much do you weight now and how much in the beginning??

[JennieRaw]

ahahahaha the face you make when quote your liver's reaction to the wine is priceless. :)

I totally echo this experience of coming back to cooked dish favorites and being enlivened by the aroma and then really let down by the actual experience of eating it. which was kind of relieving knowing that battle didn't have to be the battle i feared it would be. yay!

[zicuenca]

is RawDownUnder supposed to be risque?

[AJSwisgirl]

I am sorry , but you look worse than day 1. It supposed to be other way around. You look tired.

[flowerpotent]

@AJSwisgirl She was saying in this video that she ate cooked food and that she looks worse today than before she went and had that meal. She can see a difference in her face. She looks puffy, etc.

[SassUhFrass6]

It wasnt an Orgasm...HAha Love it

[nanooki]

Oh you are the Cutest Thing!!! I'm on whole food for 3 weeks now...mostly raw soon. slowly slowy. Thanks for your vid, you don't seem to be nuts like other RawFoodists come across sometime.

[joelismyboy]

your fascinating !

[joelismyboy]

your amazing :)

[AstralPossibilities]

Question: Does the raw food diet cost less? Also does anyone know of a good site explaining an idea of the foods vegans commonly eat and where to get em?

[xsliceofheavenx]

whats the sun bread? were can I find it?

[starkhechara]

what a lovelyu Borage plant, did you know the flowers are edible? they taste like cucumber :-)

starkhechara.co.uk

[fishandfestival]

Do you eat like organic cakes, you know, the ones baked in the oven?...I'm still on the fence about that, because if it's organic, even though it's baked, I still feel good about eating it...What do you think?

[fishandfestival]

I think the more and more raw one becomes, the less and less one wants cooked foods...Eating raw vs eating cooked food is like living in a mansion in the hills vs living in a junkyard...Raw food is not even raw, it's just in it's natural form...Cooked food tastes good but it's not good for you, and even though I used to fry my meats and fries in extra virgin olive oil and convince myself that I was eating healthy, after going raw, I realized how wrong I was...Welcome back to the light!

[cubbycab]

shes rith- edema is caused by salt

[samaya0574]

the brain ties emotions to smell as well as memories so your brain probably reminded you of how good that food was the last time you smelled it but actually your bodies response to it was new because it's clean. Thus it smells better than it will ever taste to you again if you maintain your raw lifestyle. This is so key for those going raw to understand. Your brain will tell you one thing but your body will tell you the truth about it

[simone72]

I so relate to this. I broke out and had a fishermans basket at Hilarys last weekend, and I was SO anticipating how great it was going to be. It tasted like 'nothing'. It was not enjoyable at all. Very disappointing, but still very encouraging.

[PastorErickDMarquez]

HAHAHA ALL SYMPTOMES OF GUILTYNESS ...HAHAH DONT WORRY SOMETIMES WE NEED TO FEEL THAT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE REALLY BEAT

[smallbuttfirm]

Top 4 Hottest Women in Raw Food on Youtube:

1. Angela Stokes-Monarch

2. Freelee channel:(freelea)

3. Alicia channel:(rawsynergytv)

4. This woman above channel:(rawdownunder)

Post your list! ; )

[sorchasloane]

@spruntfemalespray I have many nutritionist friends and biochemist friends and they say just the opposite. Can you give some information to back up your claim that raw foods actually destroy digestive flora?

[troecurov]

It is all about how week men are ...no more.

[FortuneFantastica]

It's amazing what you DON'T feel when you've been eating cooked food so long...and then once you clean your body out, you realize what you weren't feeling!!!

[artzphoenix]

I can relate to this so much. I have relapsed to cooked foods many times; sucked in by the smell... Sucked in by the memory... And then I feel sick and the next day all I want is salad, salad, salad and a smoothie.

[matspezzia]

good experiment, thanks!

[soysauce55]

that's curious. I've been experimenting with raw 100% off and and sometimes when I eat out it does not tase good and my boyfriend thinks I crazy because his dish is good. I would say, I/m not being picky I'm just saying what I now feel. I really wanted it to taste good but the food taste like...soap.

[Alienka80]

Please continue to stay raw. This is so inspirational, it helps me to stay raw too!!!!

[bunnylooker]

i love the idea of almost "eating" the smell of cooked foods- instead of eating them becanuse they the taste and actual effect is not as good as the smell. im going to try this- to be satisfied just with the smells. im new to this (like two weeks new) and im still struggeling with the cravings of my old addictions. your videos are great and very helpful to us. thank you.

[Chrystee]

You are so pretty and I love your accent!

[superaleksandra]

you do look a little puffy. thats so inspiring. i will try going raw.

[nofreedomofspeech]

Hope you continue to eat raw

[17allina17]

:))) You're sooo much like me :))) With the orgasm parallel and connectedness to the inner self. I found you searching for the answers to cure Candida overgrowth. And I think raw food is the answer. Thank you for sharing your cooked food experience. I did The Master Cleanse and then was thinking of a raw food diet. It did feel great. But then socializing hit and i sleigh down to the cooked food. You're right, it smells better then it taste, the taste is like a soft tissue. And it feels dead, too

[Jezerellica]

What a great report! Thanks for sharing with us. I can relate to the increased smell of foods. You are so right, just enjoy the fragrance because that is enough!

[tgSoapertg]

Yes, I want to go raw! lol

[envisionstar]

i like it raw, you know what im talkin bout

[Onkono25]

oh yes i definetely felt ur energy sweetie

I had such great 10 minutes so enjoyed it thx for this episode:)

[reverse342]

Yes! You do look puffy!!! and i understand what your trying to say! I'm not 100% raw. I'm doing it a step at a time. Lately, I've rather been eating tomatoes wif butterhead lettuce than those cooked food with dense oil(it's a culture thing actually. hard to avoid). Hehe. But I'm gonna stay strong. It's pretty amazing! Glad to find you on utube. And if you don't know liferegenerator, go check him out on utube ;]

[RickSpyder]

Way to go Girl, I've been there too but i've jo-joed back and forth, now i'm back raw after a 2 week lemon juice fast. thanks for the inspiration.

[quitejaded]

I thought everything in Perth closes at 6pm?

[mrtabal]

Don't expect to feel good after eating cooked meal for the first time in four months! but that doesn't mean that cooked food is poisonous. It's just might mean that your body has become not used to it. I think it just needs time to adapt to new eating conditions.

[MsAprillMarie]

I can totally relate to what you said about how the cooked food makes you feel sedated and also the detox symptoms the next day. I experience all of the ones that you mentioned plusI I get really congested as well and headaches.. It is nice to have some one talk about this stuff. What is funny is that while I was watching this video I was actually eating a green salad with olive oil and lemon juice!

[meganlevegan]

The change in the face...I know this too well!!!

[strawberrylaralara]

Thanx hon, inspiring

[angelbe88]

I appreciate you sharing your experience with being raw for a while and then eating cooked foods. I feel the same way after cooked food. Sedated. I've felt that way even if I was raw just a few days. It's important to document this sort of info : )

[rlzzxx]

UHHH, I dunno hun. You looked hot at the beginning of this "experiment" and now, you look like , well, not hot

[katuray33]

now you look fresh....im healthy conscious person ...dont eat animal meat...raw i cannot sorry ...i love hot soup n green tea

[onagus2008]

@ ealtuglu

That's exactly what I was thinking! I hate long winded people who take up my precious time with sundry details about their trivial lives that I don't care about.

[quitejaded]

Uhm lol Well I do agree she talks a lot. I clicked the video to learn about her raw food results and not the details of her full moon dinner lol

[stedyplotn]

I MEAN TO GIVE THIS A NEGATIVE.

[terrin855]

You have a food hangover. You might try S.B.O.'s (soil based organism) and Three Lax. Your imune system will love it. When raw food becomes a life style and the whole diet concept of depriving you're self of "good food" becomes ridiculous then a whole new, wonderful world opens to you. laughlivelove

[Litterio2009]

And you still look gorgeous!!

[myfairladyxo]

god, i love your videos!! xxx

[kandanae]

I know, that is what I was gonna say. She is glowing

[scalothis]

It's carxy isn't it, that the smalls are bette than the taste. Rarely I follow the smells and eat the food and eveytime I just think yuk - DRY! Cooked food is so dry and heavy and it ALWAYS leaves you feeling physically heavy and low.

[latinjuliet]

Your descriptions are awesome

[MamaQuita0109]

Just like meat, it smells better than it tastes, because it's the herbs and seasonings that make it smell & "taste" good-not the meat itself. I mean fry some chicken breast with no seasoning-Yuck!!!

[sleightEdge]

It's very helpful and encouraging to hear the success you are having. I'm in the early stages of transitioning to a raw diet, and videos like yours give me great reassurance. I'm really starting to feel good eating lots of fruit and vegetables.

[finneyfaery]

yeah, i've been doing raw for a little over a week now. fully let go of dairy. i had a string cheese the other day for the first time in a while and it just didn't taste like it used to.. which makes it easier for me to say no. i used to be a cheese fiend!! LOL! i love this lifestyle though. i feel so much healthier. even if i can't be 100% raw, i plan on being the 80 to 90% that i've been doing. hate red meat, so that's no problem to get rid of. but i love fish. lost 90 lbs on my own so far.

[arriesgarse]

no sugar for 4 months? fruit is sugar maam.

[ModernDayVenus]

she means no added sugar

[finneyfaery]

no added sugar, anything artificial, sweeteners.. etc.. fruit is a natural sugar.

[moshbydefault]

She means artificial sugar, smarty.

[sixtyciggs]

refined sugar smartass

[AmmoSturdy]

excuse me sweetie, u had like one little meal and now ure claiming bcus of that meal youre all puffy and etc..... are u okay? i mean really, does that even make sense? lol! youre not puffy bcus of a few pinches of salt.... stop being so dramatic

[finneyfaery]

actually, i just started on raw myself, and was on it for one week straight, nothing artificial, etc. when the weekend came, i had a meal that i really shouldn't have had, because it wasn't raw and not necessarily the healthiest of things. but after that meal, i felt so sick and bloated. when you grow accustomed to eating a specific way and for so long, weird things begin to happen with the body. even if you were to do opposite (eating bad and then start healthy). it happens..

[stedyplotn]

yes she is stop being so dismissive

[sleepingwhale]

also i think the amazing smell of the food is the amazing life and goodness drifting away from it because of being cooked... so it makes sense that the food is lacking in taste if it smells good. yea? maybe

[sleepingwhale]

about her being ''obsessive'' or OCD, this is what happens to people when they get enthusiastic about being healthy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she FEELS the health, she loves it, so she does it!!! the stuff we eat is garbage, its amazing how distanced eating healthy enthusiastically is from eating mediocre food and making negative immature comments on youtube videos you disagree with is...... hehe...

:)

[leathertanner]

Well, regardless of whatever anyone thinks, I know for a fact that the food sold off the shelves is carcinogenic.

Read the ingredients, and if you cannot draw the structural formula, it causes cancer.

If you can draw it, then you must be a chemist, and should know what it does.

We are all addicted to crude oil.

[anacelestenz]

I know what you mean! It's like a memory of it

[IDIOTCOLLECTIVE]

I equate this girls mentality with Woody Allen's concept of family love.

[BayfrontGuy]

You have great skin and glow with health. Keep it up!

[memelewis]

she Australian, not British.

[natenatenate83]

brits?

[stedyplotn]

u r so stupid n annoying u like her it's so obvious. ;D she's ignoring u too. i'd also rather develop obsessive compulsion than CANCER! we all have issues dick

[natenatenate83]

"get off on smelling food"... spoken like a true anorexic... please seek help.

[TheObnubilators]

you have officially been dubbed my asshole of the day.. congratulations

[natenatenate83]

asshole or correct? you say patato... i'm still waiting to be proved wrong...

[TheObnubilators]

why should I bother? A dickhead of your stature would never admit being wrong... just fuck off

[natenatenate83]

she won't be posting anymore vids mate, you may as well unsubscribe, she's depressed and starving. i may be an asshole but at least i don't condone eating disorders. she can't say she wasn't warned, now neither can you. raw food is a one way ticket to an eating disorder, there isn't a raw-foodist on the planet that doesn't develop obsessive compulsive eating behaviour.

[TheObnubilators]

that is beyond absurd.. Let's see your argument man. What is the bases of your thinking?

She even made a video today giving an update and saying that there will be more to come. So you were clearly talking out of your ass on that point. Now what's see what you got to support your other ridiculous ideas.

[Doubledig]

Not only cooked but 'fish of the day' - no wonder your body was saying 'what the hell is that'!!

[rayasgj]

whats up with that

[AutopsyReport22]

She seems a tad spaced out.

[firstprospector]

thank you

[cellulitelove]

hehe "because my liver goes whaaat the heeell is that?"

[sellanis]

You are such an inspiration. I have been raw on and off and you make an excellent point. Get off on the "smell" of cooked food, but don't feel compelled to eat it. That's so smart. I think this will help me when i am dining with non-raw people. I can enjoy the smell of the food, but not feel compelled to eat it. Thank you for your inspiration!

[prelan]

i reckoned u were celebrating a bit too much. u look tired in this vid. yeeee mate

[ashleyjuddstwin]

that's the point...it was a COOKED FOOD EXPERIMENT. It's not just "partying" or being "tired"...I've experienced this as well.

[gdth6]

I really liked at the end what you said- Go Raw - You kow You Want to!

Your videos are awesome - I am struggling with going raw, but am slowly making my way there-

Have a great day - and do more experiments!! You have a great way of communicating what is going on with you - I would love to see more raw food experiments!

I think about your video a lot - the one where you had to stop eating organic-

Take good care!

[jasmin700323]

Hello! I love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your journey!

I 100% agree with your view on smells - just love the smell, allow yourself!

Regarding eating - It's not such a matter of "what we don't eat" but rather what we DO! Fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, wild rice, whole raw grains (for those who like them There are wonderful recipes - delicious healthful recipes. A raw cookbook I bought: ANI's RAW FOOD KITCHEN she has recipes on youtube, if you are curious.

THANKS!

[AutopsyReport22]

Can you raw foodists please tell me what raw food do you eat.

[screenflicker1]

you want it all quick and easy huh

[tasia50]

HI-I eat seeds and nuts (soaked in H2O overnight) and fruits and veggies. I make crackers with flax seeds in a food dehydrator. I add wheat grass powder to my smoothies and I feel so much better. I hope you are trying it. Good books out there. Good luck!

[vicky2c]

amazing! I knew you were not 100% raw by looking at your face straight away. It is what happens to me- you retain water in your face! time to detox all over again aye?I have been on and off for a year. My husband is doing 80/10/10 for a year- you know him as marnstein from his replies to you. It is true about the aromas being seductive. the best thing to do is not eat fruit and crave it so much the next day!

[BrightonTom23]

Wanted to post again, straight away. You don't get a big word count do you. Your video picked me up, reminded me of where I really am, things can be hard at different points of your cycle but it really is more true, better, to keep going than to fall off the side. Any time you are coming to London let me know, I live in Brighton. Do you know Kate Wood at all ? Google her, she lives down the road. All the best to you, love it, love you. X

[BrightonTom23]

Great to see this video particularly at the moment :) TY. I've been 90% raw for about 3 years but have recently gone 100%. For me, I had to go 100% really, it has been like a beautiful, true one way street for me. When it gets to the point of say for eg: having a headache for a DAY from consuming cooked oils, or not 'going' right for 5 days from eating starches, you know it's just not worth it. I may have had a fast detox, or 'healing crisis' when I went 100%, not sure, but it's so worth it.

[Luciek69]

You get used to cooked food.

Only joking. GO RAW.

[Luciek69]

PS: What kind of training program are you on and have you been effected, your energy levels, when RAW at all?

[nicolcacola]

sounds like you got food poisoning

[joisfantastic]

Obviously, going from a raw food diet to a salt ladden restuarant food, your going to get sick. I don't thin cooked food is a sedative. maybe you should have kept the good habits from the raw diet and allowed processed salt and sugars in your body but a nice yumy organic soup instead.

[RawDownUnder]

True

[ChaserHUN]

yeah, thats for sure, cooked food is poison, yesterday I were really into the smells of cooked food, I decided to eat come, and it tasted really bad

[fishermgcj]

Life is an experiment--and you are learning so much. I love your videos because they mirror so much of what I'm going through in this raw journey. I love to eat out for the social aspect of it, but have found that the eating experience is always rather disappointing. I've learned to carry my own dressing, because that seems to be a depository of junk and excess (salt). Keep on with the videos--I love every one of them. Cooked food is a downer, and something to be recovered from. Why? Ginny

[RawDownUnder]

It's so amazing to me how many of you have asked me to keep posting! Thank you so much for the positive vibs. I'm about to jump back on the raw train with a new experiment that is going to be much more of a challenge for me. So it'll be another very results orientated chapter in my life!

[Clarion13]

Hi, just found your videos and am finding this so interesting! I am new to Raw Food and am adding some each day. I do feel "sedated" when I eat non-raw foods, great observation! I had pasta last night, had trouble sleeping though, not sedated at night, weird!

I will watch your other vids but did you start out slowly with raw, or go 100% from the start?

Thanks! Clarissa K.

[RawDownUnder]

Hiya, I would recommend transitioning slowly. I went 100% once I discovered Raw but I had been eating a transition diet for years without knowing it. Slowly is the best - use you intuition. You know your body better than anyone :)

[zoffo]

Please keep posting. This series of video postings is very inspiring to others who would like to go on the same path. Thank you.

[RawDownUnder]

Thank you. I'm about to jump back on the raw train - It's been an interesting 2 weeks! I'm not committing to 100% tho, just because I can't predict how my body is going to handle the new experiment. Just mapping it out now. It's going to be much more of a challenge that's for sure!

[sunshineonewaves]

Just wanted to say ive been watching your vids for a while now and I thought i should write something, to let you know how appreciated you and your vids are, so you dont stop doing them :)

So i know that your not going to "raw" totally now, so what will your diet be? what will you be eating now thats not raw? and if you loved raw so much why arent you just sticking with it?

Thanks again for your vids beautiful!

xx

[RawDownUnder]

Thanks for the beautiful vibs. I've gotten lots of requests to keep vlogging so I've created another challenge which I'll start on Monday. This time it will actually be much more of a personal challenge for me! I'll be about 90% Raw, which means I'll be allowing myself eggs and tuna when my body demands it. This is so I can keep up the protein if I have to with my training program :)

[Insanityperfectd]

Wow Lilu looks amazing! I am so glad that you chose to have a companion on the second half of your journey :)

[RawF00D4Life]

Hi- way to go eating raw! when i 'cheat' for me, its the casein (a milk derived protein often in soy products) or straight up dairy in food that will make my face puffy the next morning. I just watched your video from after eating cooked food,and you were a very good example of what cooked food does and too hear you speaking the day after your cooked food meal is a great inspiration to stay/go raw!!

ann, WI USA

[ginnyunderwood1]

you didn't go into much detail about the results! are you going to publish them somehow? x

[RawDownUnder]

Yep, I'm still waiting on the naturopaths to supply the info. As soon as they do I'll put it up on my blog which I'll leave as the 120 experiment for Raw. The Youtube channel I'll rename for this next challenge.

[ginnyunderwood1]

YOU ARE JUST THE BEST!!!

thank you SO much for having shared your experience with the world. i have benefited SO much from watching you on your journey. your honesty, your vitality, your hardcore attitude and commitment. i was so moved i finally got a utube account just to send you this message! its such a contribution that you have made - in the quest towards releasing the world from mass sedation! keep it magical!!! xxx

[RawDownUnder]

Wow... Thank you so much. I can totally feel all you positive vibs. Apologies for not getting back to you sooner! I'm about to start my next experiment. This one is actually going to be much more of a challenge for me personally so your feedback is received with much gratitude :))

[joyisaware]

Happy to see you again, i was wondering if you survived going back too cooked again :)

yeah when food is heated it will have the same numbing and addictive qualities as any other drug.. Victoria Boutenko shares this in her book titled: "12 Steps to Raw Foods: How to End Your Addiction to Cooked Food" it helped me allot. Leeloo looks amazing! i can't believe the speed of its growth, it must represent your personal growth. thanks for sharin!

[TheVeganicWitch]

Awesome, cheers for sharing :-)

So it would seem your tastes have changed, as well as being able to detect the effect cooked foods have on the body. Hmmmmmmmm you're making me think as I sit here looking at the remains of my baked potato LOL

[iloveme97]

5:42 "gud day suga, lol" very intrestining vlog :-)

[hurleykid83]

are you going to go back to raw? now that youve tasted cooked food?

[RawDownUnder]

About to jump back on... :) It's been an interesting 2 weeks!

[BdaBridge]

Congratulations Therese! I started raw on September 1st and have followed your blogs with much interest. What you said about smells makes sense. I heard that when you visualize/crave a particular cooked food, it is the memory you are craving more than the food itself.

I hope you will keep posting!

You have been an encouragement to me. Thanx

[pinkbeam]

LOL! How funny. I wonder if I will experience the same effects if & when I eat something 'cooked' next. Did you have your poached eggs? xx

[RawDownUnder]

Haha... not yet!! :)
