Brand Spanking New To All This!

Hi, I'm Crystal and live in Orlando, FL. I have recently been doing some research on raw foods way of eating and think it may be for me. I'm actually quite excited about what I have been reading, and excited that my hubby wants to jump aboard too. We both have gained a lot of weight mostly through stress and not caring how we eat anymore. It has affected us greatly mentally and physically. The more I have been thinking about it the more I think my body will love this. As a child I hated red meat and ground meat, found it disgusting. I would eat all my veggies up and have to sit at the table all night staring at my hamburger. When my mom would be making dinner, she would first come into my room and give me some raw green beans or raw potato slices and I showed the excitment that a regular child would show when given a lollipop. I also remember throughout my teen years and a few times in my early 20s that I would sometimes will sick to my stomach, or after a long night of drinking my body would crave fruit, but only fresh, raw fruit. I definetly need help with some recipes and stuff, because I can only think of carrot sticks and fruits to eat by hand. I don't have the money now to but a juicer or dehydrator, or raw food cookbooks. I do own a blender. I definetly need help with stuff for breakfast because I am forever skipping that and need quick things to eat since I work and go to school full time. I am so ready to be healthy and happy with my body again!

Welcome Crystal. Your reasoning seems very logical but sadly not everyone thinks that way. Every raw food is eaiser to prepare than cooked food and if you have a cooler then there are endless possibilities. Buy some plastic containers and a fork and make a salad and put it in your cooler and you're all set!
