New to raw food

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone-

My name is Joanne and I am very interested in starting a raw food

lifestyle. I have read a great book from Carol Alt, " Eating in the Raw "

and it insprired me greatly. My main focus and reason for eating raw

is to feel better menatlly and physically for life. I am sick of

dieting and I must admit I have been a victim to the dangerous diet

pills. Though they did work for me (on top of dieting and dancing 10

hours a week), once I stopped using them, I gained everything back. I

don't want to live this way. I want to live a healthy life without

crazy diets, weight loss pills, ect.

I have eaten raw for about five days now and I have to say I felt a

little better. I say this as past tense because this past weekend, I

did not eat raw.

For breakfast on friday I had fruit and for lunch I had a salad and

yogurt and nuts for a snack. Dinner time(only on the weekends) is

where I notice I mess up(I had pizza).

On saturday I helped my fiance` redo his parents backyard. For

breakfast I had bran flakes and soy milk, for lunch a turkey sandwich

on wheat bread and a banana. Dinner was pizza(again) with cheese

fries.Sunday was bran flakes again with soy milk, no lunch and chicken

with pasta with broccoli and tomatos.

I do really well during the week, but come friday night I bomb until

monday morning where I get back in the grove. I have noticed though I

did not really " crave " the cheese fries as I normally do (they are my

favorite!) so I am assuming it is because of how well I ate during the

week.

Anywho, sorry for the long post, I just wanted to share with everyone

where I am right now. I am still a little confused and unsure what to

eat and how but I am ready, willing and able to learn. If anyone could

help me or share ome information with me, I would appriciate it. Thank

you!

-Joanne
