Hi, my name is Michelle, and I'm new here (obviously).

I'm 22 year old student who lives in Norway. I have been vegan for maybe a year and vegetarian for 3 or 4 years before that. During the last month or two I've been hearing a lot about raw foods. At first I thought "raw foods? That's crazy. What will I eat?". Then it dawned on me that that's what I thought when I first heard of veganism, and that hasn't been a problem for me. I started looking in to raw foods and bought some books.

I just finished Shazzies 'Detox your world', and I can't wait to get started on a raw foods diet. However as I have my last final tomorrow I figured I couldn't have detox symptoms quite yet. I'm also going home over christmas and know I'll get hasseled if I'm raw, so I figure that starting tomorrow, I'll have raw meals for breakfast and lunch, and then starting over new years I'm going on a 3 day detox and from there on going 100% raw.

I'm super excited as I've gained some weight I'd like to loose, I've been depressed and I haven't been sleeping well. I was eating about 60% raw for a week, but I was getting detox symptoms, and that's no good when you need to fcus on finals ;) Although I have to say it was a little scary to realize that I have a lot of toxins in my body. I can't wait for 2006 to start! :)

Thanks guys! I'm sure I'll be needing lots of advice as things progress, and it's so nice to have found this forum. It's always nice to have some place where you're not a weirdo, even if it's only in cyberspace.
