Hi! My name is Michelle. I am 36 year old mom, student, employee. I am so interested in going raw. I've read so much about nutrition and this seems like such a healthy way to eat/live.
Some history:
I used to drink a lot. But I have quit. However, alcohol is poison in large quantities and I'm working to get my body back to ultimate health. I also have a daughter with a rare digestive disease, so nutrition is always on our minds.
About 7 years ago, I started eating healthy (not raw, but no processed, etc) and lost 70 lbs. I kept that off for over 5 years. The past 15 months have been rough and I have gained weight back. I am so uncomfortable.
sluggish, bad skin, weight in new places. I know diet is a contributor to this and that diet can help fix it.
So, here I am.
I had a green smoothie this morning:
Spinach, fresh fruit and water. I'm going to the store today to pick up some coconut water, kale, more fruit, etc.
I don[t really have a clue what I'm doing but any step in a healthy direction has to be better than what I have been doing.
