About
This website is the story of Stephanie’s journey through raw food. She chose the site name Raw Redemption because it feels as if she has been redeemed from years of food addiction, being over weight and unhealthy, to true freedom and joy surrounding the world of food.
I love the name. It’s interesting to read about your journey down this road. I do low carb myself but am very intrigued to know more about raw food.
What do you mean by Food Addiction?
By food addiction I mean, addiction just like with drugs. For many food is a drug. We use it to calm our nerves, dull our pain, (physical or emotional) and to avoid human interaction or conversely cope with human interaction. Just like someone might use alcohol or other drugs.
That makes sense. How does one know when a relationship with food goes from using it like an occasional drug, to actually being addicted?
When your relationship with food overshadows your relationship with others, or impedes your ability to work, just the same rules as other addictions. If it interferes with your life.
All eating today is fed by addiction, only few of us realize it!
