Canadian Newbie here

Hi everyone. I'm totally new here. I am really trying to eat only raw foods. I started this about a week ago. I did very well my first day and then as the week went on, I started picking at cooked foods but going right back to eating raw again , It's the first time I didn't give it all up because I slipped up.

I first heard about Raw food eating when Demi Moore was in the news about it. I coudln't believe how great she looked (even though I'm sure a lot of it is working out and possibly some surgery?) I don't know but it sparked my interest. I'm really 29 but will be 30 on March 1st and I really want to get in my best health before then. I tried to eat all raw last summer. I did really well but then I don't know what happened. I kind of got scared I wasn't getting all of my nutrients and I started eating cooked again. I went to the Low carb diet. But I couldn't stick with it and so it didn't work. I know it would have worked if I did it right but I didn't and so it was my fault. Well... Now I"m here and I'm really really going to try my best to stay on raw for at least a month to start and then I"ll take it from there. I feel lighter already and more energetic I guess I just feel more clear and clean. So I know it must be good for me. I just want to feel healthy and energized and lose a bit of fat in the process. I only have a few lbs to lose. I'd like to lose them the healthy way. by exercise and eating well. I weigh 130 but I"m only 5'3 so I would feel better with just a bit less. I started to Juice again tonight too. I feel like it goes right into my cells. I will add wheatgrass soon. I don't have a juicer but a local smoothie and juice shop has it . I'm sure it will be alright to use.

Anyhow I blabbed on long enough. I look forward to sharing this journey.

~Cheers all!

Welcome! You came to the right place for inspiration and support. This is the best Raw support board I have found as yet!

Cassy. :) :)

I had years that I would be up and down on the raw. When your body is ready for it totally it will let you know.
We all could look like Demi if we had her money. She has had a lot of surgerys.
