Hi Kelly,

Your entry was amazing! You've had so many health problems in your life and it's really great to see that you're fully, wholeheartedly embracing the raw lifestyle with such open arms!

I'm only on my fourth day of raw, so I can't really tell you much, except that I am reading a book by David Wolfe and it's ******* amazing. It's called THE SUNFOOD DIET SUCCESS SYSTEM. It's great, great!! Talks about a lot, in regards to setting your personal goals (which it sounds like this is what you really need), and of course all health related things and the best way to detoxify, and also to slow down detoxification if you need to and all the different foods you can eat, and SHOULD eat! I highly, highly recommend it. It's great for a starting point!!

I wish you all the best of luck on your journey!! I certainly feel so much better when I eat raw foods, as opposed to heavy, cooked foods.

Hi Miss G,

Thanks! Yes, Pea is well, "P" is my first name initial.

What do you mean you feel you've been eating "high" raw? Was that a spelling error? Or what? I'm not sure what it means!

Yeah, I totally agree with you about the "transition" stage, and about eating consciously. Last week I went to dinner to a vegetarian restaurant with a friend (I'm vegan) and I ate a burger, without bread, it was just the patty and salad and chips, and when I rode home a few hours later my stomach felt soo bloated, and so gross.  I felt so heavy and I was literally finding it hard to ride, because my stomach was all clogged up and yucky. It's good, cos every cooked food I eat (or ate) my body is really noticing it. And of course, my body is also noticing all the great food I am putting into it.

Thanks for your kind words Miss G!

Hi!

Having been reading one of David Wolfe's books, the last few weeks I have been eating majority raw, and keep thinking that I would like to try going raw. Then I meet a one week (or so) raw couple and get inspired to try it out too! I planned to go raw for a week and "completed" one day, but then today I was near a shop that sells that Sweet William chocolate spread and I just wanted to have a look if it was on the shelf, because I love the chocolate bars they make (vegan).

Anyway, I decide not to open the jar and perhaps treat myself on my birthday (many, many months away!) but then.. temptation got the better of me and I thought I'd try one teaspoon of chocolate spread.. then a few more teaspoons and my stomach was feeling unwell!

It's weird, but good, that the last few weeks, because I've been eating majority raw, whenever I DO eat some cooked food, then my stomach can really feel it. I hate to think when I might be going raw for a long time (maybe a few years? one day maybe?) and I feel like eating something cooked, but then my body will just respond badly to it.

Raw for one day, but I'll keep at it!
