Have turned to this 'raw food' thing as my last hope.
Although have a full life with husband, child, nice house, etc etc...have battled with minor depressive feelings`/depression for years, with feeligns of extreme tiredness, especially in the morning. Extremely diff to motivate and only come alive mid afternoon. Am addicted to sugar and chocolate too. Fed up of feeling up and down, fed up of eating choc, and fed up of starting new diet with good intentions and then cave in and jump into macdonalds.

I hope this site can help and this way of eating. I have been reading about if for the past couple of months after stumbling across this shazzie from UK. Can it be true that raw food is the answer I am looking for to all my feelings of depression, headaches, slumps in the afternoon, bloatedness......

Bought a book called the Raw Food Detox, by Natalia something. But feel lost. don't know where to start. just fed up.

Welcome to RFT! - I know you will love this site!

I would recommend getting Alissa's book cause it has a ton of valuable information on how to get started. Also read, read, and read on this site and you will learn so much!

To start its easy just go and buy your favorite fruits, veggies, some raw nuts, etc. to get a base of food going. In Alissa's book she actually has a shopping list of things to buy. Then start enjoying your fresh goodies!;) Believe me they will be your best friend!

Best to you as you start your new journey!

Hi Nichola...:D

I am so glad that you found Raw foods and this site. Fresh, Raw fruits and veggies are just the thing to help with depression and low energy!!! Alissa's book and DVD are great..very helpful..and full of info. and encouragement.

I have also had luck finding Raw books..even DVD's, at the local library..which was so nice, since I cannot buy all the books I would like. ;)

So..again, welcome!!! Enjoy looking around, and feel free to ask any questions you have. This is a wonderful resource and there are so many helpful, knowledgable people here.

Have a wonderful evening....
