Hello everyone!
I am so grateful for the universe that brought me to this site!
I've been reading the forums here and eating raw for a few weeks now, decided I'd join with the beginning of the new 30 day raw challenge.
I've always been interested in health, nutrition, fitness and spirituality, so it was just a matter of time when I would find out about raw foods. And so here I am. I embarked on this journey because I wanted to be the healthiest that I can be, my parents always teased me that I eat so "scientifically", but this doesn't mean any eating disorders before any of you get the wrong idea :)
Anyway, I'm graduating this year (13 y school system...), I travel between my home and school by bike and have at least 3 resistance trainings a week, and some pilates threw in to spice things up. Not long ago started doing some "tribal training", I love to climb trees :D
I guess my body has some stuff to clean, but I've never been eating terribly. I don't drink nor smoke, drinking only water since I was 11-12. My diet consisted mostly of asian style stir-fried cuisine (home made!) lots of vegetables with brown rice; whole wheat breads; fruits - I always ate this raw; and an occasional treat of duck meat, but never been big on eating meat, I've been vegetarian on and off for 4 years now, and since gone raw, haven't had any, I love this raw vegan lifestyle so far. I might be the oddball here, as I don't crave sweets, I have more of a "salty-savoury tooth" than a sweet tooth.
As a matter of fact, yesterday I was really sick of the sweetness of the grapes, apples, dates, figs, bananas, plums, pears and perhaps it was a sign of my body to get some sodium from something more salty and something more from the savoury fruits (my big mix of berries).
Also, I don't know why, but my body (I guess :)) was craving mature coconuts (don't have young Thai coconuts here available) last weekend and today, so I pretty much devoured the half of it in one sitting.
Anyway, that's it in a nutshell, nice to meet you all.
