New and Excited About Raw

[LadyPeace]

Hi Everyone :-D

Well, I did it !!! As of Sunday, March 18, 2007, I have committed to eating Raw -- Hopefully as a lifestyle change. I have some health issues (diabetes and high blood pressure) that I am determined to get rid of.

I celebrated my first day of being Raw yesterday, by having brunch at Karyns, a raw food restaurant located in Chicago. Everything was delicious.

I am not a cook per se, so I have some concerns about being able to create those fantastic meals from Alissa's video and book, but, I am looking forward to trying it and we will just see what happens - haaaaaahaaaaaa

I am also looking forward to a great relationship with you all.

Welcome!
That's a good thing you are not a cook - no need to be!
YAY for you! You will do well.
Do yourself a favor? Get Alissa's book AND DVD if you can afford both. Awesome. Plus search this forum. LOADS of info!
Keep us posted!

Welcome, LadyPeace

Welcome to the wonderful world of Living Foods! I am glad you have found Alissa's magnificent site and this wonderful rawfoodtalk forum.
Like Veganforlife stated above, you will find lots of information,as well as kind support, and all that you need to help you begin your journey toward your best health. Which you so richly deserve!

I also recommend that you check out the site below to see a wonderful documentary in the making that deals with healing diabetes (and other ailments, like high blood pressure) with a 30 day raw food diet. I can't wait to see it when it is done!

It's the best thing you will ever do for yourself! You will just LOVE the way you feel in about a week or so - maybe less!

Remember to relax and just have fun with your food. Experiment and enjoy, and when things seems to be getting a bit complicated, just keep it simple.

Best wishes, and welcome!
