Five Days Raw And Loving It! Hello!

[Zabrinah Raw]

Hi. I'd like to quickly introduce myself. One year ago when I was 18, I was an avid meat-eater. I've always had a fast metabolism, so I'd eat whatever I wanted without gaining weight. So, I ate tons of junk. The only vegetables I'd get would be the lettuce on my fast food burgers... :eek:

I've changed so much. I went to college, kept eating burgers. Once, I had 3 BURGERS IN ONE DAY! It was crazy. Finally, my friend spoke to me about a vegan diet. And together we read books about it. I stopped eating meat cold-turkey, and it was surprisingly easy. I hardly missed the meat. I feel as if I had sooooo much meat in my first 18 years that I didn't miss it. :o And then, I cut out the dairy.

And now, this summer, I discovered Raw Food. I've done my research and I'm really impressed with before and afters: the eyes, the vibrance, the energy, and the overall glow ....

I'm so excited now that I'm 19 and Raw. I feel like God has blessed me to find it so soon! And I made/had my first green smoothie today!!! It was delicious! It was warm, but mouthwatering. Even my mother drank some. She's trying to go 60% Raw.

I'm now 100%.

Thanks for reading my story!

Good for you!!!!!:D

You have no idea how much easier it is to be raw when your parent(s) is/are on the journey with you. I have been trying to transition to raw for two years now and my mom is sabotaging me. And since I am financially unstable right now, I am sort of dependent on the food she buys.
