Amazing! Steve I love the synchronicity!!

I'd been about 70% raw vegan until my now husband moved in last April. He's English and is used to the standard english diet based on grains/dairy and meat. Vegetables are used purely as a garnish over there! It became quite hard to stick to my diet since he loves cooking, and rapidly started making dinner.

We've been in the UK for Xmas and just got back. I stepped on the scales and realised that I've put on 6kg (13.2lb) since he'd moved in. My clothes were not fitting me at all by the time we came home. So I decided to - cold turkey (!) - go raw vegan again.

We got back Saturday night and already I've lost 2.5kg (5.5lb). I feel brilliant and have more energy than I've had in months. I'm already feeling heaps thinner and more toned. We've been working on a patio so I've been moving gravel and doing a fair bit of physical work without any strain at all.

It's incredible that I've opened up your blog and found that Steve and others are also on this eating plan. New Years resolution?

I started raw vegan 18 months ago and felt SO much better then. It was truly the best I'd ever felt in my life. I'm back there now, feeling great, less than a week after feeling so bloated, tired and icky. It's a brilliant way of life.
More power to you Steve!!
