My approach is to follow my instincts. I do not count calories, I do not follow nutrition tables, I do not eat specified food groups in order to achieve certain goals. Instead, I listen intensely to my body signals and follow these.
This does not mean that I do not use my intellect. On the contrary. I have a highly analytical mind and I do use it. For example, I have analyzed the theory of calories and found its expressions highly inaccurate and hence flawed when used for individual predictions. I looked at the construction of the nutritional tables and found them irrelevant to raw foodists. Also, as a mathematician, I figured out that the most efficient algorithm of operating is to let my instincts drive the process of fulfilling my body's needs, instead of my mind doing all the guess-work through the countless inaccurate rules and expressions that no-one can prove are right.
I have come to a conclusion that using a pattern that does not respect what my body truly needs in a moment, is less than optimal. I have come to a realization that my body sends very strong signals of its needs and that the best approach is to become in tune with my instincts. So the way I like to operate is to follow my body. I like existing in this primal, natural, yet exciting and powerful way.
