About 3 years ago, I bought Alissa's book (among many others) and started on raw. I had serious health issues at the time, some improved, some didn't. Eventually I drifted away from raw, then from vegan. I have spent months at a time in Germany with my daughter over the last 3 years, where I just can't resist the foods I grew up on. Long story short, I'm 50 pounds heavier than I was at my lowest point and my health isn't where I want it to be. I have recently gone back to vegan with lots of raw fruits and salads, but am still eating stir fries and soups as well (still waiting for sustained spring here in the Pacific NW). I'm ready to get back to raw so I have come HOME! I know there is no place like this forum for help and support.
