Hi all, I'm 26 and living in Swansea. I'm new to raw. I wanted to start 2010 with a healthy detox, and a friend recommended trying a raw diet. Now i'm 10 days in doing nearly 100% raw, and I love it! I feel so light, grounded and balanced. for me it feels like a perfectly natural way for me to eat, and I have had not one craving for cooked food, which has surprised me!
I've always been a person who enjoys their veggies and have never been into processed food, preferring to cook as much as I can from scratch, that doesn't mean I ate really healthy though!
Raw for me feels like a natural and healthy progression from my old eating habits, and it's helping me over come my unhealthy emotional attatchment to food, (comfort ate way too much!) which I am finding liberating.
I believe raw will be more that just a detox, even after 10 days I feel it is for life! I really excited about my raw journey!
