How do you deal with social situations when you're on a raw living food diet?
Thebestofrawfood had the most tremendous conversations with David Wolfe. We asked him: "Do you ever eat out? How do you deal with family dinners? What do you eat? What do you do when you visit friends who made a special (cooked) dinner for you?
Watch this fantastic video with David Wolfe and listen to his uplifting, practical and simple answers.
David Wolfe's advise for people who friends or family when on a raw living food diet.
Be a raw food guru. David has been raw for thirteen years. Everybody knows he's the raw food expert. They don't even consider raising the issue of (cooked) food with him anymore. Going to social dinner parties is usually only a problem for starters of a raw food diet. Once everyone knows you are a raw food expert and that you stand by your decision, they will respect you and accept your eating habits.
Fast while you're visiting friends or family. This way you don't have to bring your own food and they don't have to make something special for you. (Fasting might be easier if you had a good raw food meal before go!)
Patience: in time you will loose taste for cooked foods naturally. This is inevitable because raw food taste much better and you will have much more energy after eating it. Eventually this will reprogram you. You'll find cooked beef as edible as a piece of plastic!
If you've ever wondered how to improve your relationship with your (not raw) family members and friends, watch this video from Ka Sundance (from www.therawfoodfamily.com). In this video Ka is honest, concrete and friendly when he tells about his experiences in dealing with non raw foodists.
