I just saw your friend request. I've been dabbling in raw for 2 years. I'm transitioning to a plant-based diet and getting away from the junk.

Hi Rachel - I'm so sorry that it's been nearly a year since you wrote!  I didn't even see friend requests until today!  I've been on and off for about a year after being diagnosed with leaky gut and candida.  How about you?

Hi Rachel

Been working at it for a couple of years.  Have a long way to go.  Thanks for the friend request.

Hi Rachel! Thanks for the friend request! :) I have been interested in raw foods since '99.. off & on since then! I am nursing a beautiful 18-month old boy and really am working on a healthy balance with raw & cooked foods and incorporating more raw, especially greens, into our lives!! Just planted our veggie & herb garden seeds this morning!! How is your raw food journey going?

HI Rachel thanks for contacting me. I am learning more about raw foods and trying to get a palate for more raw foods. I am currently eating more like a Mediterranean diet. Fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds,  ---fish,lean meat,cheese  (limited amounts) whole grains, olives and a smidge of red wine. I have switched to raw milk and farm eggs, a step in the right direction, but not ready to give up dairy yet. I have a friend who has introduced me to juicing and am loving it. What's all the whining about cleaning juicers? I don't find it an obstacle at all. I have ditched the sugary and processed cereals to whole grain cereals and eat only sprouted grain bread.That has been a major change. I have switched to whole wheat or quinoa pasta and brown rice.i really still miss the old white stuff, but my friends tell me my taste buds will change and my mind will adjust. I am really still having to reframe my  frame of mind, I am 51 and grew up eating junky processed foods from cans. I didnt eat lettuce salads until I was grown. My mom never cooked with garlic. Her spice cupboard had salt pepper, onion salt, lowreys season salt and most likely MSG!! I started working at a 4 star French restaurant when I was 23 and have loved to cook ever since, although it has taken 30 years to get to where I am today. It is never too late to take charge of one's health I figure, I want to take care of mine. So I have to say  to myself," Linda, you have come a long way, from SPAM and MAC to juicing and Whole grains and RAW food recipes!"WOW I am wanting to steer that direction as I become more educated and learn to reframe my eating habits. My mind is changing, but I really have to be intentional and  think before I eat.   I am wanting to learn more about raw foods healing power esp since my bother in law has just been diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma.Got any ideas??

Hi Rachel,

I'm just starting this journey and haven't fully transitioned to 100% raw.  Thanks for friending me :)

Hi, Rachel

I actually starting eating raw about a year ago but fell off the wagon for a few months now and I am just starting to work my way up again. 

hey rachel!  thank you for friending me...i've been vegan since november 2011, and looking to take it to the next level!  How about you?

i've not eaten strictly raw at all.  i'm interested in transitioning to raw.  i'm just starting my exploration of it all.  :-)

I'm transitioning into raw and pacing myself...fruit and green juices have become a wonderful addition to my dietary lifestyle! I'm geared up to learn more about raw!

Well, I'm not yet. Our family loves to juice, but that's as far as it has gone so far. But I'm interested in knowing more about it.

Hi Rachel.  Well I'm not 100% raw but but I'm all about and juicing daily for sure! How about you? Do you work for RFR? I'm new to RFR so I'm still trying to figure things out, lol ;)

Hi Rachel, well I am still transitioning...  :-)  and loving every minute!  I've always felt this is how I should be consuming my calories....  I started this January juicing and smoothies.  It's going well...I still cook for my husband he is pretty much vegetarian now...once I get my vitamix next month he be doing more smoothies.  I am loving my journey and will be looking foward to learning more...I going to keep it simple and fun!

Many Blessings to you,

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the warm welcome! Since 2005. It is a continual journey, right? I look forward to learning from this lovely group -- I had no idea about it. Best, Dana

whats up Rachel:
I've had a very (explicit content) food history in the past, but a little over a year ago I learned about the raw food lifestyle and have been transitioning ever since.
I've had some very high ups and some very low downs, but right now I'm at a smooth level horizon of eating 85% raw (cooked egg whites and little vegetables), and sometimes a few slip-ups to processed sugar, but over all my physical and mental dietary heath is headed in the right direction.
Glad you meet you and I hope we can be a great inspiration to one another .
