Hello Everyone!
About 4 months ago I started to try out a few raw veggies, ones that I had always cooked because 'everyone cooks food', right? Sweet corn on the cob, asparagus etc, and it was so funny, seeing the shocked look on my colleagues faces when I brought a bunch of raw asparagus or a raw sweet potato to work! They think I am odd!
Generally healthy but have an extra 12 pounds or so that won't budge, and I read that going raw could help get rid of period pain (that would be fabulous!) Oh I do have painful, stiff ankles when I get up in the morning but nothing major. I started eating about 50% raw but about 2 weeks ago I decided to increase that, so I am at about 95%, most days 100%. The main focus is good health, though. Still have a lot to learn, I recently made some green smoothies that were absolutely Disgusting! So I would love some tips and recipes on making more appetizing ones! Any ideas?
Oh and I made the mistake of pigging out on too many avo's and nuts and have not lost any weight as a result.....so I have cut down on those.. would one avo every 3rd day and about half a cup of nuts a day be ok for someone wanting to lose weight?
Thanks!
