Hello everyone,
My name is Rachelle and I thought I would finally introduce myself. I have been hanging out reading the board after I learned of the raw diet three weeks ago, but haven't yet had time to post. Anyhow, I am 27 years old with a 10 month old daughter (hence the lack of time. lol). In recent years, I have always been more of a "natural" minded person (non-vaxing, no medications, natural childbirth, etc.) but had never even heard of a living food diet. I stumbled onto the information after searching Amazon for vaccine related books and here I am!
I actually switched to 100% raw literally hours after I began reading "The Live Food Factor", and did remarkably well the first two weeks, I think. I lost 8 pounds in 11 days; and that was with no activity, as I was suffering from a serious flare up of tendonitis. I had gained 60 pounds during pregnancy, and had managed to lose 50 pounds in 5 months, but that last 10 pounds just wouldn't budge, so I was happy to have lost most of it so fast with no effort! But unfortunately a surprise out of town trip to my grandfather's funeral over the 4th of July weekend totally ruined me. Since we have been back home I have picked it back up and have lost the 2 pounds that I gained while we were gone.
I have a ton of questions but with a very demanding ten month old, computer time is rare. I hope to be able to post again soon. Until then, I look forward to learning from reading other posts and seeing what this diet can do for me and my family. :)
