New to raw

[AllieL]

I am very new to raw. While I have read many articles on it and I have yet to have a full raw day. I am very health and weight conscious and I was wondering if anyone could tell me a little bit about their experience to the raw lifestyle physically. I am currently 19yrs old, 5'6" and 115lbs. I practice yoga 2-3 times a week, and do some form of cardio probably 2-3 times a week. How has going raw affected your workouts? I eat a very low calorie, low fat and low carb diet. I probably eat around 900-1200 calories on a given day, around 30g. of fat and around 70carbs. I not quite sure what you are supposed to have in a given day, but I have been told this is not a lot. I do not try to eat this little, I am just a picky eater and am full on my typical diet. I was wondering that if by going raw I would most likely gain weight since I have been told I do not usually eat enough.

There are a few people on this board you can seek out. If you check the journal section under their screennames, you'll have some reading material until some of them find this thread.

Vegan Vixen is about your age and is, I believe, 100% raw vegan.
Melindaxl is close to your age and very athletic. Big on cardio.

Many of the others who are athletic are not necessarily your age, however, if you're raw, that doesn't really matter much! Happy reading!
