Hello Steve!!!
I'm so excited that you are going raw for 30 days! You will love it. I have been raw for 4 years. Going 100% raw vegan cured me of long standing painful chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic bladder infections, obesity, depression and anxiety (including panic attacks). Raw has been a HUGE blessing in my life. I have discovered a life full of energy, health, and enthusiasm. I have great clarity, happiness and peace of mind now. It is truly amazing how much eating our natural diet can improve your health and your life. I am a raw food coach and have seen the same thing happen for many people including my previously "meat and potato" Texan dad who is an actual cowboy!!! I was raised on junk food and was a compulsive overeater. If we can do it, ANYONE can!!!!
You are so right to choose the high fruit/low fat approach as the most sustainable and health giving way to do raw. I currently eat this way and love it!!! However when someone first goes raw I do think that the complicated gourmet recipes can be very helpful in transition and any raw vegan diet is certainly a vast improvement over the standard American diet.
I can't wait to read how great you will feel in 30 days!!! Thanks so much for sharing the great news about raw!!! More and more people are discovery raw and for good reason. It just makes sense.
I would love to converse with you. You can contact me via my website listed below.
Blessings,
