Hi there!

I'm new. :) I am 25 & have been surfing all over the net, looking at various raw websites & stuff & talking with people that are doing a raw diet.. There's some really amazing stuff out there.. I want to become raw. I'm currently a vegetarian. Raw foodists are so vibrant and youthful looking.. Who doesn't want to be like that?! I've seen 50 year olds look like they're my age. I've talked with a 60 year old woman that beat cancer by eating raw.. And another fellow that beat cancer.. I've spoken with someone that's cured of IBS & Crohn's disease, and the list goes on and on. Raw food is the epitome of health, and I want to become an example for others, and show them how being raw can help them, too!

I joined this forum to learn and to find some new friends (hopefully lol!) that are raw foodists, and have positive attitudes, because those are the kind of people I would ideally like to surround myself by. :)

I think going raw is awesome, and I'm open to any information, and am happy to help and encourage anyone that needs it, and share what little knowledge that I have with anyone who needs it. :)

I'd also like to add that I enjoy gardening & am building up a nice selection of heirloom/organic/non-gmo seeds, and I like the idea of having a homestead/victory garden.. Obviously by my name, you can see that I love animals, and I have a dog. I'm a former equestrian, and bodybuilder (but am much heavier now).. I would love to get back into shape and be able to do the things I love again. I've seen how raw food can totally transform people's bodies and lifestyles, and I'm looking forward to the change.

I am also looking forward to getting to know you all. :D

Welcome! GR8 that you're a Vegetarian - it will make the transition that much easier. My advice? Get Alissa's book and DVDs. Loaded with information. AND read and surround yourself all you can with literature about Raw.

You've come to the best place!

Hi, welcome to the forum you will find lots of good advice here - and take what you want from it:) It's very active as there's new posts regularly. I love animals too:)!! Anway, I haven't bought any of Alissa's things but I have been looking at a few different raw books and thinking about trying to get them - I also find that if you search for videos of recipes you get a lot of results! Good luck on the raw!!
