Starting from scratch!

[Glassgal79]

Hi! :)

I was referred here by veggieboards.com.

I have been a vegetarian for over a year now and I also have eliminated all dairy and eggs from my diet in my attempts to lead a vegan lifestyle.

Now, totally unrelated, it was suggested to me by my doctor that i go raw because i have an underactive thyroid. I'm totally open to it! I know a little bit about raw from the veggieboards, but not a lot...i don't really know where to begin! I am a little confused on some of the rules (well, not "rules, but you know...), exactly what's to be included and excluded, etc. Anyone know of a good place to literally start from scratch?!

And nice to meet everyone by the way! I really look forward to participating in the chats and learning helpful suggestions while sharing stories of success!

These boards are a great place to get help. But do your self a big favor and order Alissa's book and/or DVD. I only ordered the book. It has been such a freat resource. It will definetly help you get started. ANd use the computer to find other web sites. There is a lot of info out there.

You are going to discover what a great feeling it is to give your body the right nutrition. You will be hooked once you feel the energy, how you feel, how you look!
