Hi, my name is Carlene. I am a 48 year old woman who has been fighting obesity since the onset of menopause at 35. I have a vegan soul, but my body doesn't seem to respond well without meat. I have flipped flopped between veganism, macrobiotics, and Atkins these past 13 years to no avail.
I like the idea of 90% raw. Along with Alissa's book and DVD, I have ordered Jack Lalanne's book. My thought is: he' 90 years old and still tours the country talking about health, diet, and exercise. From what I have read he is about 80% raw. If I had his 90 year old health instead of mine at 48, I'd be one spry woman.
Anyway, I posted a journal entry if you'd like to hear more about my first attempt at raw last month.
A week from today I'm going with a friend to the Tree of Life Restaurant run by Gabriel Cousens. I figured if I wait a week to drive out to Patagonia, it will be like a shot in the arm in case I'm thinking I can't do this again.
Wish me luck.
