Hi! I've been lurking here for quite a while and decided to take the plunge.
In Dec. 06 I purchased Alyssa's DVD and book, and just loved the idea of going totally raw for health, but was, frankly, a little afraid that I'd fail or that I'd miss my favorite foods. Still, in January, I swore off meats and have never looked back. (Best thing I ever did for my health!) In the ensuing months, little by little I started adding more raw to my diet so that I was about 85% raw by May/June.
I read here recently about the 100% raw challenge for August and thought: Well, why not? I'm pretty close to that anyway. Maybe I can do this for thirty days.
Yesterday I went to a cookout to see friends I haven't seen in ages. I brought the fruit salad and dessert (raw, of course). They ate it up! Couldn't believe my tasty dessert was living food! I didn't preach, but I certainly mentioned Alyssa's book a few times. Who knows? Maybe I'll see a few of my buddies here?
BTW, Alyssa's SO right. The difference between 85% and 100% raw is ASTOUNDING! And it's only been twelve days!
So I'm here for the support. Wish me luck!
