Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I can't believe I'm really here - it's been a long road! 29 of my 35 years of dieting and the past 12 getting closer and closer to eating raw. Finally it was just too obvious what I needed to do. I gave up the dieting all together, since it had done nothing but make me fat and miserable about it. I looked back on the times I ate Paleo and felt really good and decided to take it one step further. I'm so relieved to finally be doing this. I feel FREE! I had first come up with the idea in my early twenties and didn't know it was an actual way of life. It just seemed like common sense, but a friend convinced me it was crazy and I let it go. Finished my first real day of 100% raw and feel so much better than I did before I started. Pretty sure I have leaky gut (yuck - isn't that attractive sounding?)after reading some testimonials on raw sites. On the first of Feb. I attempted raw, but still needed to mull it over in my mind a little more, however even cutting way back on processed food that day got me through the old sugar-detox headache, so I didn't even have to deal with that on my REAL first day. I thought it was a great day to start too, being Groundhog Day since I want to stop feeling like a waddling old groundhog, but start eating more like one! My first question is about tea. I love iced peppermint tea, but can I still drink this if I'm going for 100% raw? I usually fill half the cup with nearly boiling water, let it steep some and fill the rest of the cup with ice. I'm guessing nearly boiling water is a no-no now, but will it steep decently in warm water and how warm? ~Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
