Hi everyone! I've just started the 10 day raw challenge and thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Sulis, I'm 43 years old and instead of doing the usual NYE resolution diet I'd give raw a try.

I became intrigued by the idea of going raw about a year ago when I came across Shazzie's site and was inpsired by some of the transformations I read about there. I don't have any major health problems, just overweight from years of fad and yo-yo dieting and what used to be mild patches of psoriasis is now becoming major. I'm a big sweet tooth and addicted to carbs (the white processed kind) I often wonder if I can ever overcome those cravings, guess I'll know in 10 days time!

Cheers!

Sulis.  smiley

Thanks guys!  so far I'm really enjoying the recipe section and there's heaps of info so I'm confident I can do this. Can't wait to try some cacao powder and Agave nectar, I just have to try some of those raw choccy recipes. smiley

I've survived day 1 and feel good, I have the sugar craving though so I'm off to whip up a banana smoothie.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

I'm onto day 2, didn't sleep well last night though as my body temperature was up, has anyone else experienced this while starting out raw?

a warm hello to all that glow the raw life, and a big thankyou to all those beautiful inspiring souls for just being here on this wonderful nurturing site. I have recently ( and I mean recently as in the past couple of weeks) just embarked on my new raw way of life after it whispering to me through 4 years of severe illness. So here I am very excited in this new adventure of mine, a journey into the rest of my life......wow its great to wake up!!!!
