Eating Raw Foods When Everyone Is Eating Cooked Food, Ep29

[ROSANNE41]

I can relate about how to deal w/ people when carefully mentioning you're eating raw or vegan. I've said "my family history is diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure & that's why I'm eating this way. It's absolutely amazing just how many people get very ANGRY at you & will say things behind your back. I've heard "she thinks she's better then me,etc.. Guess what? I feel great & have been told I look like I'm 30'ish when I'm 47. "To thine own self be true"... Maybe they're jealous!!

[potatochipXL]

when really standoffish people question me, i just say i'm vegan because of the high risk of heart disease in my family. they usually back off and the battle is avoided.

[brittniebob]

If you're in the South, people push their beliefs on you HARDCORE. It's sucks =( but ima stand my ground because I believe in what I stand for.

[1plantboy]

I can use your tips use to help with homophobia!

[oscarhollywood]

Everytime I watch a video on eating raw, the people look young, healthy, happy and vibrant. I really wanna get into this stuff. what do i do, where do i go to learn

[AMAATUAVIDA]

That's is the real truth for all things in live (in my point of view). Thanks for the words, TKX SO MUCH

MUCH LOVE

[chamogul]

Like OMG... You are truly my new BFF!! This video was so on point sis. Truly... I am new to Raw Food way of life and I'm so excited, I feel so darn good, my smile is brighter, my love for people is deeper, I'm not as uptight but after listening to you, I see my mistake. I just everyone to get well in my family & join my new lifestyle but THEY ARE NOT FEELING ME and then I get upset. I just feel like how can ONE not love a good apple, cucumber or carrot. Ok so I will take it easy from here on

[SubconsciousGatherer]

Great tips. This advice also works when the word is "religion" instead of "diet."

Don't push it on anyone...if it's any good, people will want it and ask you about it!

[TheJuiceJunkie]

This is a really great video!

[RosaButton]

I really appreciate your vids and I agree with you. You are obviously a very sensitive person to even care about others. Keep it up. I'm not a vegan or raw food dieter, but I plan to incorporate all this into my regular diet. :-)

[marialuis98]

waaaaay too much yap! i don't really care if people care or don't care. they don't pay my medical bills so screw them. you sound like you have a big complex. I'll go ahead and press stop before I start hating you for all this yap!

[kinioola]

You are amazing! Thanks for suggestions :)!

[VonLeachim]

--really appreciate this video . it helps a lot.

[wordup21]

very insightful! i like your philosophy

[whuteverstupid]

i thought i was the only one, thanks natasha [:

[themusicmaniac84]

Thanks Natasha I really needed this.

[MaxDoes]

When I first started watching your videos I thought you were really liberal and kind of crazy about the raw thing. Now I see that you're a really intelligent person and very level headed. I think part of my discovery was your age. You do NOT look 33.

I really enjoy your videos though. Keep up the good work.

[RawRadiantHealth]

@MaxDoes I'm actually now 34!!!

[LoveSaraJade]

@RawRadiantHealth I agree, I thought you were about 25 when I started watching.

[elfe1982]

Your doing very well with the attention now... :D You are a shining star my Dear... love oyur vids and i am very greatful for the info and friendship between us here! Warm Regards from Denmark, Bianca Maria

[hillrunner616]

[KritterRaw]

[RawRadiantHealth]

Thank You KritterRaw for all your support--- I appreciate it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

[starelle]

you are so right!!! Thanks for the awesome vids!

[RawRadiantHealth]

My pleasure!! :)

[StarFlower99654]

Thanks for the reminder, i needed this because I am new to the Raw lifestyle and am having visible changes that people will eventually want me to talk about (I have summers off work, go back in Aug and will have this happen) Think i will just tell them i am eating healthy!

[RawRadiantHealth]

You do what you are most comfortable with! Its funny how we always feel like we need to explain ourselves, but when we really think about it, we have the freedom to tell it all or not. If I know I'll be supported, then I'll share, but if I know the person may judge me or make me question what I'm doing-- then maybe its best I keep those detail to myself! Listen and honor your heart!

[Sungruff]

When I became vegetarian years ago, I went through the same thing, I didn't want people to know or make a fuss. Now that I'm totally raw, I feel very lucky to have supported people around me that don't try and change me back to cooked food because that's what THEY think is best. This video hit home with me.

[RawRadiantHealth]

I can totally relate!!!

[313HealthyMe]

Beautiful point and so poignant! I hate talking about my diet as well. I don't like the attention it brings nor the inevitable requests for explanations. NOt that I don't want to share info but I almost always end up saying something that makes meat eaters feel threatened.

[RawRadiantHealth]

I totally agree with you, and in all I don't want to make anyone feel self conscious or uncomfortable hanging out with me!! (That would be super terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I have caught myself many times where I am just about to point something out to someone about their diet and I am sooooo relieved that I stopped myself!!!
