new from cali

hi all,
Im new to raw foods but have been researching it for the past couple of years. I've been a vegetarian for a while but am searching for still a better way of eating for health. I still have hypoglycemia and suffer from bouts of depression which i know are often related to the food i eat. i cant explain how i know that, its just something i feel strongly about. Ive been inspired by folks who've said their depression went away after going raw. Plus, my skin is a mess. Anyway, Ive got a toddler and a hubby and want them to live long and disease free lives. I look foward to gaining knowledge from everybody.

Hi there, Solar Powered!

I live in Cali too, I'm in San Jose :)
Isn't it strange how food affects the body so? One day I was feeling so fantastic, and then I ate a jar of pickles(lol) and I immediately felt so depressed and started crying!! Weird, huh?!
This board is so friendly, I think you'll really feel at home here, I know I do! :D
