Okay... Here we go I started a blog on my raw adventure , but did not explain much how I got started so here it is.
Off to a better start and I will add from where the other blog started.
A dear friend introduced me to an audio tape from Dr Lorraine Day. Thanks Cath!
I wanted to know MORE! I had some health issues and this sounded great.
I purchased 3 of Dr Day's videos and started getting free newsletters from Hallelujah acres. Free
I really had to re-learn everything I was taught about nutrition!
Everything I learned in school was so wrong! Could that be right?
It all sounded correct.
Hmmm... well only one way to find out .. give it a try.
I followed the outline set out by Hallelujah Acres which is 75% Raw foods and all Vegan, lots of good juice and lo and behold with the exercise and following this new health plan I lost almost 60 lbs! To top it off my health issues (The issues that had prompted my exploration had dissapeared!!!) WOOHOO!!

I had excellent results the entire time I followed the program for better health and as a bonus benefit my migraines had nearly all gone as well! Good bonus!

I started working way too many hours especially for someone who was homescholing ontop of 60-90 hrs a week and had 5 kids to take care of at home.
I ended up eating the Standard American Diet and sick again.. so sick that I was told 3 times by my DR. to QUIT WORKING!!!!
I finally headed his advice and quit!!(Outside the home anyway!)
Although I was not eating healthy, I was still reading up on it, knowing I needed to get back to a healthy lifestyle, in order to have a long healthy life here with my kids and hubby!

SOOO ... after juicing on and off and mourning all the yummy foods I would miss.

I knew there were recipes out there that were not that hard to make and decided to check out more info and get plugged into the groups I had joined a few years prior.
I thought about and decided to go 100% Raw and that is what I did.

It really does not have to be hard I hope I can help you on your journey to better health!
