Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I am 4 days into eating raw and I'm doing okay. I'm not 100 percent raw because I'm cooking beans and potatoes, but I have stopped eating meat, dairy and processed foods. Does that make me 90 percent raw? :)
I am feeling fabulous today. The first two days I had a headache, bloating and I was tired, but yesterday and today I feel great!
For the last four years I have been on a quest to get healthy both physically and mentally. Even though I had added lots of fruit and veggies into my diet and watched what I ate it just didn't seem to be enough. I still didn't feel well. Maybe it was the bingeing on junk food every couple of weeks........you think? :)
I started a blog to help keep me accountable so if your interested in knowing more your welcome to check it out.
I hope to learn a lot here. I have a million questions so will start with the archives. At this point I'm on information overload. There is so much to take in and learn.
Sincerely;
Brenda :)

My name is Brenda too - and welcome! I feel SO much better eating raw, and the longer I do it and the more I learn, the better I feel about my diet choice. I have no intention of ever returning to my previous SAD diet! This forum has been very encouraging to me, and I hope it is for you too!

Thank You
Thank you everyone for the great welcome!
I am amazed at the before and after pictures. All I can say is WOW!
This is day five and I had to go out to dinner for the first time since starting the raw diet. I was a little concerned but it went well.
I'm feeling great!!
