So, a couple years ago, as you know, I discovered the raw food "diet", or lifestyle if you will. I love fruits and veggies, and thought - Hey I can do that. And I can, BUT after a couple weeks I fell off that raw wagon hard. And even though I had a couple well intentioned thoughts and attempts at getting back on that wagon, I never did. So here I find myself in 2012, 30 feeling like I'm about 50 or so. Getting colds or flus A LOT more. Just all around feeling crappy. And I realized the reason: even though I've been eating vegan I have NOT been eating well a lot of the time. I developed this terrible addiction to potato chips. I started drinking coffee again - and a lot (5 or more cups per day). I was eating all this processed food that many people assume is ok because it's vegan... but it's really not. Anyway, all this got me thinking back to that wonderful time many moons ago when I was raw. How after just a few DAYS, I felt lighter and had more energy. How I slept better. Didn't get angry or annoyed as easily. And I realized that I am ready, and that I need to do this. Because I know ultimately that this is what will help me and that really committing to going 100% raw all the time will really change my life.

    Yes, it's quite easy to become a junk food vegan.. I have been there as well! Like you, I find I feel more energetic and have a happier outlook when I eat all raw. So, welcome back!

    They say an apple a day ______ . Imagine what a couple of servings of fresh fruit and veggies can do. Welcome and you can do it. Just take one day at a time do not end it today.
