New to Raw

[PomegranatePip]

Hello all! I've been lurking on the boards for a few days now. I've only just started experimenting with raw food. I haven't really read any books yet (most of my information has come from various sources online), so I'm not really sure about what I'm doing. Even so, I've noticed a huge difference in how I feel after I eat.

I was already a dietary vegan (well, except for honey, but I barely ate any sweeteners anyway) as well as GFCF (due to gluten and casein intolerance), so going raw has not been hugely traumatic. I still end up eating about one cooked meal a day, though, because I'm hungry/cold/can't think of what else to fill myself with. I'm already quite underweight and suffer from chronic candidiasis, so I really don't want to make things worse.

I look forward to being part of the community!

Welcome! I also suffered from chronic candidiadsis, but after a year of dealing with it, I cured it in seven days by going 100% raw. I was on a strict anti-candida diet before going raw, and I know it's hard to switch over with the fear of making things worse, but I definitely encourage you to go ahead and do it. I was eating absolutely 0 grams of sugar before, and now I'm eating all the fruit I want along with raw honey and others without a problem at all. I wish you all the luck with everything, and I can't wait to hear how it works out for you!
