Hi Angeldoll, Welcome!!!! I'm glad you are learning about raw. I will tell you it's a heck of a lot easier than the other diets out there. No weighing, measureing, diet foods. I'm just getting started good myself. Mostly raw for about 6wks. Have lost 17lbs without worrying about carbs, proteins, etc. Have had lots of good things happen, now I'm heading for 100%(no cooked foods at all yesterday.Yeah).
You will want to get Alissa's book, it's full of info on why this is the way to eat, recipes. and all the nutritional info you could want. When you read about all the good things raw will do for you, you will be joining us in 100%, I'll bet.
Where are you in Tenn.?, My family and I are currently in Fla. but making plans to move back home soon(Chatt. area). Check out the site, and read folks journals, that will help. good luck and keep us posted on how things are going. Blessings Earthmama

Hi and welcome.
I read your bio and am constantly amazed when people say that they drink diet soda. I think the first step that anyone should make if they want to be healthy is to realise that diet soda and artificial sweeteners are poison and you should not even consume one. Please make this your first step to health.

Hi Angeldoll, For breakfast most of the time I have a green smoothie. My favorite so far is a couple of handfulls of spinach, or kale, a mango and a couple of bananas with enough water to blend it. I'm not a big fan of green stuff so I wasn't sure I would like it, but you just taste the fruit. A great way to get lots of greens, it's filling and really good for ya. then later in the morning I might have a handfull of almonds, or dates or both. Lunch is usually a big salad with raw ranch or ceasar dressing and sunflower seeds. Sometimes for supper I will make one of Alissa's entrees, or just have another salad or smoothie. Lots of choices with raw. Really fun learning about it.
Nashville is a great place. I have a dear friend who lives there. I'm urging her to try raw as well, but she's not ready yet.
take care and try the green smoothie, I think you will like it. blessings Earthmama
