Hello all you beautiful Raw People! :)
My name is Christina and I'm 28. I'm originally from Dallas, Texas, but have been living on the east coast of Ireland since December, 2006. I've been curious about the raw lifestyle for a while now, but I think that it's consuming the Standard Irish Diet, with all its loads of potatoes, bland overcooked veg, and not to mention lots of Guiness, that really left me craving some serious dietary changes! A few months ago I became vegetarian and started drinking green smoothies, after reading Green for Life. Then on Jan 1, I started introducing more raw meals into my diet and I hope to gradually increase my rawness to 80-90% this year.
Even after only a month of semi-raw, people have started commenting on changes in my appearance. A coworker, who was unaware of my dietary changes, asked me what I'd been doing, because she notices "a complete transformation" and said that my skin was glowing!
I love how much more energy I have, and the feeling of wellbeing I get preparing and eating raw organic produce.
I was pointed to this wonderful site by Sport, a who also here in Ireland. I have been browsing through all the mouthwatering recipes, and I'm blown away by how helpful and friendly everyone here is.
So thank you to all of you, for already being an inspiration to me!
Feel free to drop me a line anytime! I'm eager to make friends on this same journey!
love and joy,
Christina
