About 75% raw, wanna be a 100%

[Shanna Hosanna]

I am new here and thought I would just get some support for staying raw. I moved my family to a primarily vegetarian diet two months ago. I have been mostly vegetarian and moving more towards raw.

I need to lose about 80 pounds. I have lost 9 so far and walking nearly everyday (up to four miles in an hour and ten minutes). I am trying so very hard. As I eat raw I feel great and the weight comes off a little faster. When I eat cooked I feel as though my body is holding on to it. Old habits are hard to break. But I am convinced of the health that comes when you eat raw. I just need more support than I have right now.

Thanks for reading!

Shanna,

Striving for 100% is a great goal. Going from a SAD diet to 75% raw will do wonders for your health and weight. Keep eating greens and fruit and don't get too hungry. Real hunger drives me to heavy cooked food.

Walking 3 plus miles daily will help you lose weight. Your family is lucky that you are making improvements for their health. Keep up the good work.

This is a great community for support. I have gone from 75% raw (my regular before diet) to nearly 100%. I read this site and the journals several times a day for support. Sometimes I need to be reminded about all the positives that will come from eating raw. Good Luck and ask questions.
