I have been here for about a month. So I thought it was time to say a formal hello. I am in my fourth year of raw living. I have read Allissa book a few times. I have an arsenal of raw food books. My journey started when a friend told me she was going to cure her breast cancer with food. Before speaking I listened to her explain the cure. I was indeed intrigued by the whole thing, not really convinced, but supportive. I joined her on her new food path. Her cancer is gone and I am fifty pounds lighter. She has returned to old eating habits but is mindful of what she eats. She does eat 100% organic. I have been about 90. I am 60 years old no apparent health issues. I had been looking for a way to loose weight for years. I tried a few diets but just was not feeling them. I knew it had to be a way of life for it to work, so I stopped trying. I watch my mother yoyo for years and knew it was not the way to go. When I found raw food I was hooked. I said to myself. Self,,, We can do this. So here I am. I have never been able to get to the coveted 100%. But I have stopped beating myself up over it. What I do is far better than the SAD way of eating. There are things I will not eat sugar is at the top of the list, and no processed food. I do think before I put SAD food in my mouth. So I do think before I eat. I go days all raw and than...... well I just keep it moving. I do love what I eat, and if I never attain to perfection in the raw way of life I still consider myself a raw foodist. This is the RAW way of LIFE. EAT RAW
