Hi All! I’m Raine, wife to J for 16+ years, unschooling mom to two fabulous humans- DS age 17 and DD age 14. We own a brick and mortar game store, and sell online.

I’ll try to make my intro short. I’ve studied diet and health for some time. Stumbled upon raw a few years ago and became very excited about it. Time constraints made me drop everything for a while, and more recently I’ve been reading a fair amount of Abraham-Hicks and have come to believe that our thoughts are the most important aspect of health.

For the last year or so my husband has been mentioning raw on and off. He picked up Carol Alt’s book a few weeks ago and decided he really wants to do it. I’m behind him 100% as I still have that same excitement about it.

We both have some bad habits, smoking and an extreme love of coffee, which may present a challenge. We intend to transition in a gentle manner, without restrictions or guilt.

For myself, being pretty much sedentary from working online, and the stresses of running two businesses 7 days a week for the past 3 years, is taking it’s toll on me. I’m 35 and don’t have the energy or level of fitness that I would like. My body is making it clear that it is not content with the status quo. I’m inclined to sit up and listen.

In short, I’m here to learn from all of you who are where I plan to be, and those beginning with me. Looking forward to meeting you all. :)

I'm excited for you because both you and your husband will have each other for support....that will be really nice and something that most don't have. You really will want to get Alissa's book...it will give you a world of information and inspire you. He DVD is great also, she shows you how to make several different recipes and really shows you how quick and easy it can be to eat raw. By watching her make things, it helps to really understand how to do raw food. Good Luck....Judith

Without restrictions or guilt.........what a great concept!!!!!!!!! You will be successful if you follow those two "rules"! Very smart as far as I am concerned. I am also transitioning; mostly about 90% now. Some days it's easier than others, especially if I am at home all day.(which isn't very often). Glad your husband is on board. That is such a gift!

I second the book and DVD's. I randomly discovered raw from finding this site, ordered them right away, and I had all of the tools I needed to succeed.

I love the idea of doing this without guilt or restrictions. If it's raw, it's good!

It sounds like your attitude and having support will both help you. You can definitely do this successfully this time!
