hello everyone!
I'm marci, I'm 30 years old, and I'm super excited to learn about raw foods. I found this site through the site www.freshtopia.net.
my current diet is mostly yogurt, chicken (ew, I know!), cereal and soymilk, salmon, cheese (god, I love cheese), and fruit. I feel like it's pretty healthy, yet I don't feel healthy much of the time and am overweight. I've tried to go vegetarian twice and did ok for a few months, but always returned to meat.
The raw diet really makes sense to me though... and I want to feel healthy, lose weight (i'm getting married next september!), see my skin clear up a bit, and be healthy! I also read that a raw diet can help people who have diabetes.. which my father does, and I'd love to help him get healthy as well.
a little about me:
I'm 30 years old. Living in Central New York but I'm really a Texas girl. I just moved here a little over a year ago from Austin, Texas and I miss it soooo much. I love music, festivals, travelling, cooking, learning about food and nutrition and health, and reading.
Right now my goal is just to learn more about the raw lifestyle and to incorporate one raw meal a week into my diet. I plan to gradually increase this and hopefully get to where I"m at least 75% raw.
I ordered alissa's book and dvd and should be getting it soon.. I can hardly wait.
thanks for reading and I'll see you all on the boards! :)
