Just wanted to introduce myself. I just ordered the book and I'm excited about RAW. I'm a vegetarian and at risk for diabetes because of a raging sugar addiction. I am tired of dieting and crazy plans that get you no where. For me, I understand from reading and research that I just have been on a low path to death and disease in my eating. I don't want to have to make drastic crazy changes in the future due to bad health. I want to change now, at 28 years old.
I'm excited. its day one.

Welcom to the board!
If you can afford the DVD, it'll come in real handy, especially for sharing with friends! It was watching the DVD that made my wife and I make the move.I stand here in front of you at 180 healthy pounds....Anyone that can't see that lacks vision!

Hey there!
Hi! I see that you posted this a while ago... just thought I would say hello & tell you that I can relate! I've had a sugar addiction for a long time. I had it under control for a fewyears, then had a baby & I just lost it during the pregnancy. I'm 30, and decided to be pro-active & have an endoscopy done to ceck out my throat & stomach... from years of yo-yo diets, binge eating, and a family history of stomach cancer. Turns out I've got pretty bad gastritis & sure enough- I wason my way to stomach cancer down the line as well. After a year of reading about raw diets, and playing aroudn with it a little, I've finally taken the dive! I'm on day 5 now (unless I've somehwo lost track of my days! It happens!), and I feel good. It's nice to look at my 2 year old & know that I'm taking care of myself.. that I'll be here for him (hopefully!) for a very long time!
Best of luck on your journey!
