About Me: (at least a couple of sentences; ex: family, interests, hobbies, favorite quote, personal mission statement, etc: I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired and thought a change in my food would be a good first start. I was directed here by a friend and loyal follower. I look forward to some insight and direction from those who have gone before me. Thank you.

How did you hear about Raw Food Rehab?: A friend.

What percentage of your current diet would you estimate is raw foods? (this answer many change over time): None. I'm brand new. I've just ordered a juicer and some books. Next week I start (after my colonoscopy).

How are you hoping this community can best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, recipes, inspiration, fitness tips, etc): I'm hoping that I can be inspired to want to take better care of myself and find a new vitality in this second half of my life. Because I'm so new and totally uneducated in this way of eating, I'm hoping for any direction or advice I can get from the others who know so much more than me.

My Doctor Does NOT Support Vegan or Vegetarian Eating...

I saw my hormone doctor the other day and he was asking how I was doing and I mentioned that I'd been juicing and incorporating a raw food diet into my daily eating for the past couple of weeks, and that I was feeling less sluggish, and my sleep patterns were greatly improved, and I just thought it was a good choice for me (not always easy, but something that seemed to make a positive change for me).

Much to my surprise, he pointed out to me that this was not a healthy way of…

Have always incorporated loads of fruit and salads in my diet all my life. Have fallen off the wagon with fully raw quite a few times due to basically being the only one in my area interested in this way of life. ( My partner says he will never give up meat but he has improved his diet a lot since we met) I live it a country town where they farm cattle, sheep for eating and wool etc. 8 months ago I had another baby and really want to get back on track. Too much to do and so hard to get it done when feeling sluggish. Don't worry about feeling like an amateur, we are all at different stages and it's great that you are here. Today I've just been juicing ( oranges, ginger, mint, parsley and carrot ) and had a papaya, banana and avocado smoothie. I've been awake since 3 am and had plenty of energy.

Keep in touch.... great to have you as a friend......let me know how you are going !!!

I think things are changing and the new doctors are young, hip, and open minded. Hopefully the pharmaceutical companies that run the medical schools won't be able to completely brainwash them.
