Good evening to All:

It's great to have a place to communicate with other people living on raw foods. In the past, I lived on raw foods for about two years. I'm ready to live this way again, so I appreciate this avenue of communciation with others.

Hi there I am new too.
I love eating raw, it makes me feel really light and healthy.
My body thanks me!
Have you got some books?
I love Rawsome, and the Sunfood Diet Success System.
The great thing about raw food, is there is absolutely no guilt.
I can eat whatever raw I want, and never gain weight.
I am a dancer, so this diet is excellent for me.
good luck!

Something wonderful happens to my body, mind, and spirit when I live on raw foods. It's pretty amazing the change, and how fast I begin to feel the difference! I sat down to eat a beautiful salad tonight and felt so grateful for not only the food, but for all the encouragement I receive from everyone on Raw Food Chat.

Well since you asked my raw food experience started out with a salad from subway with oil and vinagar,the oil and vinagar made all the difference.At this time I was tring to make the switch to mostly organic but that salad was so good I thought I'd go to the book store and look for a book on salads.Thats when I found " the complete book of raw food".Anyway im starting out with fruits and veggies and nuts on their own or in a salad,on my salad I use half tbs olive oil and half tbs apple cider vinagar. When i get bored with them ill start bigger recipes. Id like to here what everyone else is eating to. thanks tim

I am new also. Just started since the 31st. I wanted to start before the new year so I could get a jump on things. I feel great even with a sick child for the past 2 days. I feel fine. I started working out again and in addition to eating well I am eating RAW! I work in a hospital setting and it's amazing to me to see so many ill-looking co-workers. The cafeteria makes so called "healthy" meals but I see so many going for the grill side for burgers, fries and onion rings. I get such an aversion to that now even after a couple of days on this way of eating. I even emphatically turned my nose up at a bite of cheesecake my husband offered and didn't feel deprived in the least.

How exciting to have so many wanting to make such a positive change in their lives. I went from veggie to vegan in December. Now I am about 80% raw. I defiantly notice a difference. I don't think 100% raw will take too long to get to.
