Hey,

My name is Francesca and I'm from NY. I went 100% raw on 1/24/08 and I feel really good. Prior to going raw, I was addicted to food (cooked food), or so I thought. I thought that I had binge-eating disorder and that I could not be cured. Since going raw, I have had far fewing cravings for cooked food than I ever had when I could eat cooked food whenever I wanted. I now have control over my eating. I'm not hungry all the time. I also don't have to feel guilty for eating pie, and other "naughty" raw foods. I feel like I'm in a very healthy place with food. After almost two weeks of being raw, it's clear that I do have control over what I eat and I don't have to forfeit my life for an "eating disorder."

I have a question for a more experienced raw fooder: what do you do to get your B12?

Take care everyone!

Francesca

Check out the banana button above, and do a search on B12, you'll find lots of great info that way!! Should answer any questions you have about it!! Best wishes!

Thanks for reminding me about the banana button. Welcome to the forum and I'm sure you'll love it here. Alissa's book also talks about B12....it really is a very informative book. Good Luck!!! Judith
