Hello:

My name is Cathy and I am 22 years old. I have been high raw since March 1, 2006 and feel great. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning more about raw foods from this board.

Thank you for welcoming me. :)

I thought I should write a few words about my experience with raw foods so far.

For a while I had been eating what I thought was a balanced, "healthy" diet. A typical meal would have been baked salmon, rice and a cooked vegetable, such as broccoli. I would have fruit and yogurt as snacks. I would also exercise several times a week at a gym. Even though I was doing all these things which I thought were "healthy", I felt exhausted all the time and unable to concentrate. Daily activities seemed to drain me of all my strength.

Now that I have turned to raw foods, the greatest benefit that I am experiencing is feeling lighter and having more energy. Getting up in the morning is much easier than it was before. Another benefit to all this energy is that I have been able to return to old hobbies (artistic – I love to draw and paint) that I was too drained to do before.

I am happy about all the changes I am seeing right now, and I know there are many more to come.
