Hello fellow Raw fooders. My name is Joyce and I am just begininng to eat the raw food way. I have always conidered myself to be a hard core junk food junkie and never belived I could adopt this style of eating.

My mother-in-law has been faithfully following another raw food program for years but all she does is make salads and a absolutely horrible green drink.

I saw Alissa on the Tyra show coaching two woman on how to go raw. I was both inspired and Intrigued and ordered her book the same day.

Unforturantely I talked myself out of seriously following the raw food diet several times, however now that I am in my 40s I realize that a life style of eating processed foods and refined sugar is bound to catch up to me. Every week I hear in my church the long list of people with health problems and I know if I do not do somethihng I could very well end up on that list.
While I am exicted about the weight loss I know I will experience I am really doing this to take control of my health.

Hi Joyce! Nice to meet you. I call myself a 'slow learner' in regards to raw and living foods. I heard about it June of 2009 but I gave up on myself around the holidays and couldn't get back on track.

Hope you have huge success!!

Welcome. Enjoy your journey, as it is yours. If your mother-in-law enjoys her salads and green drinks....that is great for her. Find your own path and you will be happy with this lifestyle. My biggest piece of advice to you is this--eat the foods you know you like and try something new each week. Be kind to yourself in your transition. You can do this!!!!:D
