Hi there,

I'm a 44 year old third grade teacher who has now been raw for three days. I'm still going through the detox symptoms although they seem be improving. I have dropped 3 pounds in three days and am loving not feeling exhausted at 4.00 in the afternoon. I have a wonderful husband and three beautiful children who eat the SAD. However, they are beginning to try some of my delicious food. I am reading and loving Alissa's Book - Living Raw. It is a wonderful "how to". I hope to join you on this journey to health and thank you for this valuable resource.
Wishing you a wonderful day,

Miopennmom

I've really enjoyed Alissa's book also and her DVD is great too. Although my whole family isn't raw they are now eating alot more raw because they enjoy all the fresh fruits and salads I make and also the treats. They may not be raw but they eat so much more raw food than the average person.

Welcome! Another gr8 book? Victoria Boutenko's "Green for Life". Tells about the wonders of Green Smoothies, which you should incorporate daily! Talk about a WOW factor! :D

Hi guys,

So excited to be eating this way for the last 4 days. Started on Tues. lost 6lbs. of waste already. I am 53, with a birthday coming in December. I have to admit there is so much to learn, I am overwhelmed with joy. I am currently reding Green for Life, and 12 steps to Raw Foods, I also have Rawvolutions--there are so many great recipes. Want to find a few good ones for this week. Smoothies are good--not GREAT!!!!Still experimenting with the fruit and my green smoothies.I know I am babbling. Thanks for listening.
