Hi from England

[ashabean]

Hi All,

I am just starting back on a raw path after a lapse of about 6 years, previously I was about 90% raw with big slip pizza sized ups). I have still dabble with juices a bit in that time, but still found myself stuck in a food trap, comfort eating and craving comfort junk (cheese, pizza, chocolate mainly).

In my previous attempts at raw I lived in the US, but I am now back in my homeland of England.

I didn't intend to go back to raw, I was happy just being a veggie, but I had a miscarriage and in the days after I found myself CRAVING raw food, salad, green juices so I have decided to try to listen to my body, and go with it.

I need to lose alot of weight, I am currently 196lb, so I am hoping this will come with it.

Over the last few weeks I have been eating more and more, and for the last 4 days I have dedicated myself to the following a simple Smoothie in the morning, followed by fruit and a raw pre-bought bar, salad with hummus for lunch, more fruit in the afternoon, then a cooked vegetarian meal with green juice. If hungry in the day then some sprouted bread with peanut butter.

So far I seem to have gained a few lbs?

So thats me. I live in the UK with hubby and our beautiful 18 month boy, whom we are raising as a vegetarian.

Also, I used to post on this board, but along time ago.

Hi,

Nice to meet you :•)

How is the raw scene in the UK? Are there many people around? Any socials or anything?

I am in Oxfordshire.

Can I ask where you buy your supplies from? I am unsure about getting truly raw nuts in the UK, any suggestions? We went to the Wholefoods in Kensington at the weekend and I bought a few raw supplies .

Thanks
Asha
