Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi all, Since you're on the topic of new energy, I thought I'd chime in and say hi. I've been lurking for a while and have to admit that I've been turned off by the back and forth bickering. I was about to , then a few new people popped up, so I thought I'd stick it out and see what's next. After 11 years of being a fairly healthy vegan (I ate way too much tofu and gluten products), I decided to try the raw lifestyle about three months ago. Wow, it's been incredible! I've lost weight, my skin completely cleared up (I've had acne problems since I was a teenager), my digestive system has improved, and my energy level is on fire. For the first two months, I spent hours in the kitchen preparing all sorts of delicious meals and desserts. I've simplified since then, but still enjoy preparing elaborate meals from time to time. I'm looking forward to making holiday dishes. This from a woman who never enjoyed cooking. I live in San Francisco, so the vegan lifestyle isn't a big deal. The raw lifestyle is a different issue. Speaking from personal experience, the best way to spread the message is to focus on the positives: energy, spiritual connections, clear skin, etc... So far, so good... I look forward to sharing, supporting, and learning. Peace, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 HI Rose, Welcome to the group. I joined back in the spring but wasnt very active at the time; because believe it or not, the bickering was worse-- I think my experience is a bit different from yours because I have yet to have anything resembling clear skin. I'm 28 and have had acne since I was 8. Everything else (almost) healthwise in my life has improved though. I still have problems with insane hunger but hopefully ill get my " formula " correct one day. I'm also in the Bay Area (Berkeley) and though its very easy to stay raw with the regular all organic farmers markets 3+ days a week, its hard in other ways with the temptation to eat at all of the world class restaurants here. I havent " cheated " since I went raw in April, but it can be isolating.
