Hi Everyone !
My name is Carol, Im 41, I live near Brighton in the UK ...I have been interested and dabbled with Raw food in the past but never really stuck to it, so I have all the equipment, I read Alissa's book and it has inspired me to take a 30 day raw challenge ! I was vegetarian for 15 years, then went Vegan about 13 years ago, Im not feeling great at the moment I am 5ft 8, and weigh 12 st 4 , feel fat bloated, tired, dark circles under my eyes, apathetic, keep forgetting things all the time, I tried to loose weight with WW but thought omg how stupid Im not "aloud" an avocado because its too many points so would have a bag of crisps instead ! lol, I love carbs and a potatoe, pasta bread and crisps addict ! So I guess that will be a challenge for me, also I have twin boys aged 11 , a boy age 2 1/2 and a girl age 1, and a hungry bf ! , I will still be cooking for them, I dont want to force anyone else to do anything they dont want to, but bf is supportive and open to trying new foods, so hoping they will enjoy some raw dinners too !
Im looking forward to meeting /talking to some new people and having some support in the transition, I am prepared this time and have all the equipment Vitamix (40th birthday pressie lol yes I know some girls want jewellery and clothes but nope a Vitamix for me lol)..L equip dehydrator borrowed from my friend, spiral slicer, hemp seed milk maker, green power juicer so I am itching to get started !!!
