I'm curious about how old you were when you went raw. I'm transitioning and I am 44 years old. So I've been on SAD for more than four decades!

I'll be 16 in a few days. I hear so many people say they wish they'd started sooner! So I'm glad to be making the transition now, but at any age your body will thank you! Good luck on your journey.

I "was" 34 last year when I first went raw....back to 100% now, and will be 35 in May....my body is SOOO thankful, and I think no matter what age you are, your body will thank you. If you have Alissa's book...there is a woman who was at least in her 60's or 70's when she went raw! I think it's great!

I started transistioning at 30. Vegan for years prior and vegetarian through my teen years. raw seemed like a natural progression to get greater health.

I started near the end of 2005. I turned 27 in January.

granted, i'm not 100% yet, but my, it's quite a journey. I wish I had known about this diet when I was in my teens. I also wish, atleast, that I had gone vegan then.

I have been on and off raw since I was 31 or 32...I am now 35.
Never a vegan or vegetarian beforehand, but was into whole organic foods, less processed, no additives, preservatives, and colorings. Also into other natural
living practices, natural childbirth, cloth diapers, and environmental issues.

I first learned about raw when I was 19 and have now been 29 days raw, and I'm currently 20. I'm planning to stick to raw from here on in, so hopefully the year between when I first learned about raw and now was my time to adjust. ;)
