Hi there,

In January of this year, I,ve discover the wonderful world of raw food. Actually, I've been working in natural stores for two years, which surprises me about not having heard about this before.. anyways! I just felt in love with it.

By the way, sorry for my english, im from Quebec, speak french so thanks for understanding!

Anyways, I'm now living in central america, got married there. I've passed 6 months there this year, trying to be a raw-foodist 100% but its kinda hard sometimes, just cuz you dont feel like cooking everything each day and might get lazy trying to dehydrate everything. But I god so in love with raw food that I've started a small raw business here, doing raw bars, raw cookies and dehydrated fruits, and works so good!

But, I've been keeping raw food apart for a while, dont know why. I went to Boston a few days ago and ate at the Grezzo restaurant, oh my god it was soooooo good! I feel like starting a raw restaurant here in the next years.

So, because I just feel so bad lately, i've decided to involve me in the 30 days challenge. It's now 6pm and haven't ate raw today, so I'll star tomorrow, I'm so happy!!

By the way, I was wondering if there was some of you guys who were buddhist? (dont know if I wrote it good..! ) And, other thing, what are you doing when you are craving for cooked food? Or when you are invited at a party or a diner somewhere where you just can't have raw stuff?

Ok well thank you there and I hope I'll get some support for my challenge! If you need any information about raw stuff in Quebec just tell me.. will be my pleasure!

Thank you!

Hi Karine!

You will find so much support here on Raw Food Talk. Today is my 31st day, and I could never have come this far without this site.

When I crave cooked food, I take out Alissa Cohen's book, Living on Live Food, and make one of her fabulous recipes. Cooked food never tasted as good as the raw creations I have tried so far.

If you do not have Alissa's book, here is the link to order it:

I wish you all the best,
