Hi from an Austrian girl in the UK :)

[Eevie]

Hi everybody!

I've been a "silent reader" for a few weeks, and finally decided to register now.
Just a short introduction:
I've been a (ethically motivated) vegan for about 5 or 6 years now (vegetarian before since I was 13) and somehow came across the idea of rawfood...
I simply loved the thought of living foods, and it wasn't such a big step for me as for many others maybe. So I went "almost raw" (I can't really handle nor like these %-numbers) about a month ago. Which means, that I don't care about unroasted nori dried at non-raw-temperatures, I sometimes had (uncooked) tempeh or non-raw carob etc.
I also do drink hot (herbal, not black - I hate black tea ;) ) tea.

However, after reading several times that itDOES make a big difference if one is "almost" raw or "100%", I thought it might be worth a try, just to see what it's like and if it's worth :)
And up-coming December Challenge seems to be perfect for my little experiment...

I hope to find some inspiration/motivation and support here, and hopefully I'll be able to give some back too :D

So far for now...
Love,
Eevie

Hey there, I 'm Austrian as well, but I live in California.
I'm going to visit family for X-mas in Austria as well, and I agree it's going to be a bit of an added challenge to stay completely raw during those times. I guess it will have to be my control group study ;) since I just did a month of almost 100% raw.

good luck to you!

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys!!
Yea, Xmas will definitely be the ultimate challenge... maybe not the easiest month to start with, but hey, otherwise it shouldn't be called a challenge, right?! :D
