Hi Everyone!
I am somewhat new to eating raw and I'm so excited to have found a place where others are living the raw food lifestyle. I guess I will give you a lil background about me and why I'm choosing to go raw.
I am a 27 year old female living in Atlanta. I have suffered with depression, as well as acne since the age of 12. When I think back on all the things I've tried in order to help my conditions, the only things I remember that truly helped were the times I took "drastic" measures and eliminated all junk food from my diet...basically I was eating mostly fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. I remember feeling so happy for no reason lol...and that is rare for me!;) At the time I didn't realize that eating a mostly raw food diet was the main reason for my positive mood changes and clearer skin. But now....I see the link and I am ready to begin a total lifestyle change that I know will help me live the life that I am supposed to be living!! Today I have started a 30 day juice fast to jump start my raw food diet. I am hoping to feel and look so much better and continue on the path to positive health. I look forward reading and sharing here on the message boards!:)
