Why I went Raw

Uncooked, unadulterated, unbelievably delicious, living food.
A RAW FOOD DIET WORKS FOR ME:
After years of suffering through various health issues, including candida, parasites, thyroid issues, overeating, rashes, skin problems, acne, digestive issues, irritable bowel syndrome, food allergies, fatigue, I decided it was time to start taking care of myself. So I went raw. I first heard about the concept of eating a raw foods diet a couple years ago, when my mother's friend started a raw food lifestyle. It intrigued me, but I thought about it and said, "all raw, that's too difficult." I immediately imagined a diet of just lettuce, carrots, and apples. Then I met a woman in a health food store, whose skin just glowed and she was so energetic. She was talking about raw foods and gave me a website called livingnutrition.com and I didn't give it much thought, but I did check out the website. Then I heard about Alissa Cohen on the Tyra Banks show and immediately went to Alissa's website. Now something clicked! I had to go raw. I wanted to experience abundant energy, glowing skin, vibrant health and just eat healthy. I ordered her book and said goodbye to the Standard American Diet, which I had been eating my whole life. Yes, I grew up eating mac and cheese, french fries, hamburgers, steak, Poptarts, Chef Boyardee canned crap, the whole lot. And now I changed my diet to raw wholesome delicious foods. What a difference! I feel so wonderful eating these delicious life giving foods that have been grown so close to nature. I munch endlessly on fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains. My energy had skyrocketed, my skin is clear, digestive issues are gone, thyroid problems gone, my weight has normalized- I feel like a new person. It truly is an incredible feeling when you wake up each day with a smile on your face and a zest of energy and enthusiam for life. I know raw food has made a difference in my life and cannot believe that I was missing out on these vitamins, minerals and nutrients that come naturally from raw foods. I will never go back to eating SAD again.
