Made My First Raw Meals This Weekend.

[commoncents]

This weekend I prepared my first Raw meals. I was on a long fast (18 days) and during that time I ordered the Dehydrator, bought a food processor, a spiral "pasta" slicer and a champion juicer.

I made Collard Wraps and an Enchilada and for dessert a Date Nut Torte, all from Alissa's book. I had been watching the DVD non-stop while I was on my fast and felt confident in my abilities to prepare tasty Raw meals.

Alls I got to say is YUMMY!!!!!! I could not believe how good the food was and who would have thought that I would be eating an uncooked collard green and LOVING IT.

So, I'm new and still really green, but as of today, I can see being Raw the rest of my life. I know that I'll have many temptations and difficult moments, but when food tastes this good and does so many wonderful things for your mind, body and spirit, why not.

P.S. - the thing I really like about going Raw is how fast and easy the recipies are. No spending hours in the kitchen. Love it!!!!

Sounds great! I also like that raw food can be so elegant and well prepared, but when in a hurry it's as simple as can be! I'm fairly new at this ,too, but the two times I ate a cooked food since going raw, it wasn't really that good. Raw is way better!! Congratulation on your successful fast. Best wishes to you!

I have to say congrats on completing an 18 days fast, that is an amazing accomplishment in it self. Raw food taste so so so good and as far as temptations don't worry about them, if you slip just get right back on raw and keep your focus...

Thank you all for your kind replies. I feel that Spirit/God lead me to this lifestyle. While on the fast, I went to my book shelf to pick up a vegan cookbook, but picked up a book I have had on Raw foods. I've had this book for years and it was always something that I was not interested in.

I have undertaken many fasts, but always put the weight back on. I wanted a difference this time and boy did I get it.

I just had my dinner and I have so much energy. Usually I'm so sluggish and sleeply after eating. This "diet" is the answer to my prayers!!!!
