New to raw in Dallas, TX

[RawActor]

Hello all! My name is Craig, I am 35, married, and about to start raw in a week. I have grown convinced we are what we eat and lately, I've felt like a load of crap! Plus, I need to lose some weight. I am an aspiring actor and the weight is not helping. What triggered this was my wife's health condition. She has Lupus but we think we have found the root cause of it. She's getting surgery for that next week and she's starting a regiment next week and proposed the raw idea. Mostly because she's huge into sushi and veggies. She's always said she feels the best after eating those things. SO, I am trying that also.

Be sure to read Alissa's book and watch her DVD....they will be the best investments you'll make in starting out raw. They answer all your questions and give you menus to try at first, with the shopping list to go with them, there are tons of recipes. It really gets you off onto a good start and lets you know what your jumping into. It really sets you up for success. Watch the DVD first and then devour the book. Good Luck and I hope your wife recovers quickly.

Check out meetup.com. We have at least 4 raw potlucks a month around the metroplex. In fact, there is one this weekend and next weekend. It will be a good introduction to raw. Dallas has a great raw community. You are more than welcome to join us. You can start off by bringing a basic salad and as you learn more bring more creative dishes! I look forward to seeing you and your family at our potlucks.
