Hi everyone. I'm totally new here. I am really trying to eat only raw foods. I started this about a week ago. I did very well my first day and then as the week went on, I started picking at cooked foods but going right back to eating raw again , It's the first time I didn't give it all up because I slipped up.
I first heard about Raw food eating when Demi Moore was in the news about it. I coudln't believe how great she looked (even though I'm sure a lot of it is working out and possibly some surgery?) I don't know but it sparked my interest. I'm really 29 but will be 30 on March 1st and I really want to get in my best health before then. I tried to eat all raw last summer. I did really well but then I don't know what happened. I kind of got scared I wasn't getting all of my nutrients and I started eating cooked again. I went to the Low carb diet. But I couldn't stick with it and so it didn't work. I know it would have worked if I did it right but I didn't and so it was my fault. Well... Now I"m here and I'm really really going to try my best to stay on raw for at least a month to start and then I"ll take it from there. I feel lighter already and more energetic I guess I just feel more clear and clean. So I know it must be good for me. I just want to feel healthy and energized and lose a bit of fat in the process. I only have a few lbs to lose. I'd like to lose them the healthy way. by exercise and eating well. I weigh 130 but I"m only 5'3 so I would feel better with just a bit less. I started to Juice again tonight too. I feel like it goes right into my cells. I will add wheatgrass soon. I don't have a juicer but a local smoothie and juice shop has it . I'm sure it will be alright to use.
Anyhow I blabbed on long enough. I look forward to sharing this journey.
~Cheers all!
