Hello, I am Michelle. I was daily about 50- 80% raw and apart from the milk in my tea ( so addicted!) vegan, when I became pregnant. Towards the end of being pregnant and after birth _ have just eaten loads of stuff that isn't good. Now my daughter is 8 weeks old, I am determined to get to 100% raw as I am diabetic and on insulin for the last 2 years. I want to be free of meds, and full of energy for my 2 girls. I do not have family support for this goal so I value these support networks.
I have read extensively on nutrition and raw food choices to the point where I have read conflicting publications. From my experience (especially with diabetic medication) raw or vegan high raw (I need a warm soup in winter) is the best diet by far. I had got to the point with the 50-80% raw where I was taking just 4 units of novarapid instead of 20-30. I just need to get myself of the carbs I started eating in the last 2 months again.
My favourite recipes so far are Karen Knowler's Kale salad - delicious and a free recipe from the free downloads from her site. Kate Magics 'love loaf' and a green smoothie with too much chocolate powder than can surely be good for you, The worst has got to be the chocolli biscuits I made, (love the loaf Kate but chocolate, broccoli and apple cider - just the smell!).
