Hi!
I am very excited that I found this site. I am a young college student and lifelong Alaskan, and now that classes are done for the summer I've had an urge to do research on SOMEthing...and...the subject of my attention has become raw foods. I have been basically cooked vegetarian plus freshly caught halibut and salmon (still not sure how to give that up!!) for a couple of years, ever since I met my husband, who had been vegetarian for a while. Lately, however, we have both fallen back into more unhealthy eating habits, such as meat, fried foods, anything with cheese...and I've been just feeling very blah...lazy, sleeping as long as possible, forgetting to excersize. So, when I read about raw foods, it really made sense to me and struck a chord. I bought a juiceman juicer, and have ordered recipe books and informative books.
I have been eating approximately 80% raw for a week or so (Today 100%!!) And although my husband is afraid I've gone off the deep end, he is still supportive, though not interested in joining me on this quest.
Anyway, before I write a book about myself, I'd better stop and just say I'm really glad to have found this community and I look forward to sharing ideas, information, and support with you all.
Take care,
O.A.
P.S. Does O.A. stand for anything else, funny or strange or is it slang for something...(Just trying avoid embarrassment... :rolleyes: )
