Aspiring Raw Foodist

[DoubleD84]

Hey everyone,

I'm becoming more and more interested in going raw since I was first introduced to the idea from fiance. It was always a personal battle for me because of the weight loss usually tied to the diet. Yet over time I'm starting to realize the reality of the body image I've been aspiring to achieve. How it's all been generated by years of watching the media and different trends.

I'm a 26yr old male, formerly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 04'. I was on Avonex since the beginning and after almost 6 years I've managed to create a needle phobia. I'm supposed to be switching over to Copaxone but I'm dreading the drugs and constant needles. I don't think I can do it.

I share 3 young kids (girl 7y, boy 4y, boy 16m) with a beautiful fiance, a home, a great job. I'm hoping to make the transition to 100% raw and be rid of the drugs I'm supposed to be taking. I'm also tossing around the idea of starting training for a triathlon.

I've been creeping around this site and few others for a while but I think it's time to get a little more involved. I look forward to talking about this new way of life.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan and welcome to RFT!

I am also an aspiring triathlete, and raw has helped with the energy and muscle recovery.

I recall seeing multiple posts about raw and MS here - maybe try the banana search and see what you find.

So glad you joined us!
