Hey all!

[Jehote]

Hi guys!
Im new here and trying to learn about the raw lifestyle.
i have been progrressing towards this since Nov.
in Nov i was 230 lbs, on 3 meds for anxiety and nerves, meds to sleep and was severely depressed!
now, mid april, im 179lbs, on NO meds, and i work out several times a week, and do cardio everyday. and i LOVE my life!
in nov i started to just eat healthier. then in jan. i started having vegetarian days. 3 weeks ago, i went total Vegan. and now im adding raw meals.
i have some questions that i will ask on the boards re: grains etc. not sure about that. and! ordered the book/dvd combo meal. (regular shipping so i have to wait)
OH im also off my cholesterol meds and getting tested this friday so i cant wait for my results.
I look forward to meeting and chatting with you all!
Mathew:)

Welcome.....be sure to report back to us about your cholesterol test, I'm sure your going to see some incredible results. I love it when people say that they have Alissa's book and DVD on the way, you are really in for a treat. Have a great day and welcome.

That's wonderful Mathew! You have already come so far.

You can eat grains when soaked and sprouted. Alissa's book will answer all your questions.

Good luck on your raw journey!
