Hello all,

I have been surfing on the site a bit but have been pretty much busy with Baseball and a grandson and personal things going on. I have been off of raw for a while now and my health, needless to say, has gone a little south also.

I have really been struggling with this food and health thing and since I work at sports stadiums and cater hotels I am around food ALL THE TIME, EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!This is hard for someone who loves food and wants to keep away from all the food that is bad for me.

My doctor told me a few months ago that my kidneys have not been filtering properly and my diabetes is out of control. I am now up to 2 pills a day and lovastatin for cholestoral. I have also had ongoing infections due to problems with my blood sugar.

Okay, once and for all I have decided that I am going back to raw and joining the gym. I NEED TO BE HEALTHY!!!!! I started looking through all of my raw food books and I really have to say, Alissa's book and dvd is by far THE BEST BOOK overall for beginners and anywhere in between. Her book is concise, easy and entertaining all at the same time. I love this book and I am so excited to get started back again.

For everyone out there just starting and/or having problems with staying raw or getting back to raw, this is all I have to say GET OUT THERE AND JUST DO IT AND BE HEALTHY!!!!!

Thank you Alissa for your book, your site and your overall love of life and the willingness to help people to see their true selves through a raw food lifestyle.

Yes!!! Alissa's book does seem to be the best and I wish you the best of luck with staying raw. Anytime you're tempted with cooked, put it out of your mind immediately and remember the benefits of raw. We are all here for you in difficult times. As time goes on, you'll remember more and more why you are doing it.

welcome back! I will now stalk you, hehe. :p I like reading about people's experience on raw foods. Something about it is very endearing to me.
