Well I'm new here, and new to raw. I haven't started my 30 days yet, still more in research mode and waiting for my Living on Live Foods book (it'll be here feb 1st and I am waiting here on the edge of my seat, so excited!)
I first saw and heard about raw foods when Alissa was on the Tyra show. The moment I heard her say it helped her with her fibromyalgia this little bell went off in my head saying "silly, you've tried everything else but eating right to deal with yours" To be honest it wasn't entierly my fault, not everyone knows about raw. I had never even heard about it until that show, but reading up on what it is, I actually pretty much was a raw vegan when I was little... until my dad introduced me to ice cream then it all went downhil and the battle with sugar addiction came into play. But anyways by the time I saw her second appearence on the show and just how much healthier the girl who did her diet was compaired to everyone else (even the others who lost weight, they weren't glowing like Alissa and that girl who followed the "diet") I decided to look into it and I ordered her book.
So anyways thats my story on how I came to learn about raw food. I really want to try this and see if it's the right thing for me, I'm sure it will be though cuz of how healthy I was when I was little and eating this way (my Baba used to call me the little monster cuz I'd always be in her garden everyday eating fruits and veggies before she could get to picking them, even if they weren't ripe :p, my mom even says most of her memories of before I was 5 were of us sitting in the garden eating corn and anything we could find that was ripe )
Thanks for reading!
