Hello, raw food newbie here.
Yesterday was the first day I tried "raw food", and it was unbelievably good! And so simple! I tried to make a "butter" from a book for corn on the cob, but it was awful. I finally gave up and just put olive oil on a plate, rolled my raw cob in it, sprinkled a little lemon pepper seasoning and some sea salt on it, and it was delicious !!!! And so easy!!!
There is a lady here who is kind of mentoring me, and she pointed out that a raw lifestyle is more simple than I would think, and she was right!
After eating about 3/4 of the cob, my body didn't want any more. So I stopped eating. (That would have never happened while on the SAD diet.)
Then I bought some of those pre-made flax seed crackers and "Really Raw Honey". I put a drop of honey on a quarter-size piece of cracker, and I was in heaven! I have never tasted something so smooth, sweet, and so satisfying at the same time. Anyone who has eaten SAD knows if you eat sweets, you just crave more. That didn't happen. My body was happy and content. And I had a ton of energy to the point that I was up until 11:00pm...this coming from someone who would fall asleep at 7:30 two months ago on the SAD diet. And I feel great today!
I realize there are a ton of "!!!"s, but I am shocked. This totally debunks all of the SAD brainwashing. Raw food is so tasty. (By the way, I am sure the excitement of something new will wear off, so I will defintely need everyone's help and support. But until then...)
