I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

yikes! Stay strong, Nickiepinks. You might want to consider transitioning more slowly. 100% raw is hard. Really hard. For almost everybody. (Although it's been my experience that it's also totally worth the trouble and difficulties). Some people find it works better for them to move into it more slowly, over a longer period of time. I think the Boutenkos wrote a book that involves transitioning: 12 Steps to Raw Foods.

Anyway, best wishes & keep going, it really is worth it,

Get yourself some avocados, some mangoes, some bananas, a few nuts, some strawberries and apples and pears. Eat.

Instead of looking at it as depriving yourself of the other food, look at it as nourishing your body with as many phytochemicals (stuff from plants) as you can. Think about your cells, longing for those wonderful nutrients, and all jumping with joy when the good stuff comes down the chute for them.
That's what I'm tying to do, anyway. :)

Fast food is a habit. This is how I broke that habit. First I quit eating fries. After I got over not eating fries I quit eating hamburgers and started eating chicken or fish. Then I dropped the chicken and was just eating fish. After that I started drinking water instead of soda. This was key to nixing cravings for carbs/fats. Now I find it is not worth waiting in the drive-thru for a fish sandwich and a water. lol

thank you guys sooo much! i took all of your advice. I got some avocados and made sushi yester day. Yes i cook the rice but i know i cant be 100% raw without quiting right now. So like rawbeliever said i'm going to work my way into raw slowly. And Dj 247, i think fast food is a drug! i think they put something in that stuff!! hhaha. veraleeveralee i bought everything you said and i feeling much muhc much better! what would i do with out this board!
