Rawwww

[lycheenut]

Hey everyone!

I'm new here, and on day 3 of being 100% raw. It's totally awesome, I feel like my whole life has been overturned and replaced with joy and love and light. I'm usually pretty cynical, so this has been an amazing and surprising turn of events.

I'm getting my boyfriend to do go raw for 7 days too- which is a bit of a challenge. He's a big meat/cheese and eggs sort of guy, so I think day 2 is hitting him a bit hard...He's sleeping on the couch right now, poor thing. If anyone has any advice (he's feeling low energy and dizzy despite everything I do) please give it!

Other than feeling awesome, I've also dropped 4 pounds and for some reason (not the weight loss) I get checked out more on the street. I feel like I'm positively glowing, and that the world is full of amazing things and people.

Like you guys!

So hello!

lycheenut,

I know! It is insane how you start to get "the glow" ;)

I am in love with this lifestyle, and I have been able to get over this guy who really treated me badly without really thinking much about him since the diet -- I suspect the diet balances its practictioners mentally too! :)

Yeah! I had sort of a troubling event in my life recently, and I feel way more optimistic and at peace with it than I probably would have before.

Hey, and you and I are both 25 too!

Good luck with everything!

Aloha and Welcome to RFT! I love your name - we just planted some lychee trees on our property!! Loove lychees!

I'm so glad you are loving this lifestyle! It totally rawks doesn't it!

sorry your bf is going thru some detox right now -- please let him know that it's actually a blessing in disguise -- his body is processing and throwing out a bunch of stuff thats not good for him -- which will all be a positive experience in the long run!

we all go thru some form of detox through out our journey! but it does pass!

blessings -- and enjoy the ride!

Welcome!
As far as the bf goes? Make him and you some green smoothies. They kick start your raw journey, get rid of cravings, taste good, are cheap to make and Shrek will be proud of you!!!:p
Also - I'd say get Alissa's book and DVD to further enhance your raw journey. Powerful tools!

Definately make some delicious Green Smoothies. They will help throughout a lifetime of being Raw and definately through a detox. I wish I had known about them when I detoxed the first time!!!

I juice 2 oranges with a manual orange juice press and add another 1/2 cup of water. 1 frozen banana, a bunch of greens(Romaine, Spinach, Kale, Parsely or Swiss Chard. Usually I just pick one type of green) and a couple cups of fruit. Often I will use frozen berries or pineapple and mango or a couple of ripe nectarines. Delicious!!!!

Hope that Helps!

Peace,
Roxanna
