Georgina's Raw Journey

Does anyone else think it's strange that on the front page of this site there is a picture of Alissa standing in front of her cooker?

Definitely time for a change!

I find it rather sad that even on this forum which is based around Alissa's philosophy of eating raw foods that so many people are only interested in weight loss. It's good to be a healthy weight but it's not the be all and end all.

It isn't a good thing to lose a doo-dad-ton of weight in a couple of weeks.

Giving up eating is something to be considered very carefully as fasting has been shown to have some incredible benefits. It isn't a great way to permanently lose weight ...

We've spent most of the day in the garden so far. We've emptied the compost bin of 7 or 8 wheelbarrow's worth of lovely rich compost into the newly made raised beds.

This afternoon we are fetching horse manure to fill the bin we have emptied and so it all starts again. The worms n the compost were very healthy looking. they certainly do a good job.

Back later :o)

1 imperial pint of juice made up from:-

4 very small oranges
2 medium red grapefruit
1 large lemon.

It's very good. Too zingy for my bf though.

I feel so at home with raw. It's good to be back and in some ways I am surprise at how easy it is after having had a break for 6 weeks. I was prepared for it to be more difficult.
