Hello Everyone-
I have been here a while, devouring posts about this way of eating and have to say I seem to have found a new passion.
I am a Reiki Master and light worker and have been a veggiesaur for about 8 years now.I stumbled onto this website while researching the benefits of carrot juice to treat cancer and liver cleansing(that's another post).
I decided to 'tinker' around with this diet for a few days-7 to be exact. I juiced for years and stopped because it got to noisey, inconvenient and expensive(excuses, excuses :o ). I just got my juicer out of the cupboard last week. Decided for 1 week I would juice each night and see what happened. The first two nights of juicing I could not sleep..I was literally bouncing off the walls with energy. I lost 6 lbs. Anyway,
Intrigued a bit I decided to play with Raw food for a few days. 3 days I ate, until I was stuffed I might add, nothing but Raw food. I lost another 3 lbs...
Weight notwithstanding(health is the point not weight) I feel awesome!
So, this morning I wake up late and grab a mini wheat bagel from the cupboard, packed some sprouts and tahini on it and hit the road. That bagel hit my tummy like a lead brick-I was amazed at how quickly my body told me I just put sucky food in it. UGH!
I have a ton of questions and will start a journal soon, I just wanted to say Hello and ask if it is really possible that my body adjusted so quick to fresh raw food and was rebelling against that bagel...I mean really-3 days i surely not enough time to get my tummy into a new groove....is it???
I look forward to talking with everyone and starting this 100 RAW lifestyle-although I must say the girls that work for me are a little leary, they have heard about all kinds of stuff in the last 7days :D
