RAW FOOD ~ BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS ~ Vid#37

BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS OF MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND. Raw food really makes a difference!!

We began a journey of health when we decided to have children. The first thing we did was to reduce packaged food from our lives. The motivation behind this was the alien like food ingredients that were showing up on the labels of the packaged foods we were buying. We couldn't pronounce them and we had no idea what they were or how they came about. After diving into research and finding out what a lot of these ingredients were, we were appalled and refused to feed our soon to arrive child these things.

That led us to eating a more whole food diet and I started cooking more so that we could create homemade versions of the packaged foods were had bought in the past (cookies, soups, lasagna, etc.).

About a year after our daughter was born we decided to switch a few of our food items to healthier choices. For example we switched from cows milk to goats milk. We were still eating SAD (standard american diet) but something was awakening in us and we were striving for better, healthier choices; and doing lots of research!

Our daughter never really liked meat and because of that I was driven to discover what, if anything, she was missing by not eating meat. I discovered that meat is not, as we are led to believe, necessary for optimal health. Which led us to think about if we should be eating it either! Hence more research!

We decided to reduce the amount of meat we ate and to have very little red meat. We did this for a while and eventually we eliminated red meat all together. A year went by, we were still eating meat but were not drawn to it as we were in the past. Eventually we became vegetarians (which happened December of 2009).

Our grocery cart was filling up more and more with organic food choices and the more research we did the less we opted for non-organics. After watching a few documentaries about factory farming we decided to transition to a vegan lifestyle and did so only a month or so after becoming vegetarian.

So we were 100% vegan and feeling great! I had lost 5-10 lbs and the more I researched the closer I came to the raw food lifestyle. I came across some videos here on YouTube about some people who had tried the raw food diet and I was driven to explore this interesting concept. I was amazed at how logical the whole thing was and I sought out more videos on raw food.

I came across a few people that had been living a raw food lifestyle for many years and after subscribing to a few I decided to give it a shot!!! We started our raw transition around March of 2010 and were 80% raw by May!!

Once I decide to do something that's it! We transitioned from SAD to RAW in 5 months! We all feel amazing and I've lost 60 lbs (from Jan 2010 to May 2010)!!! I intend to be vegetarian for life, and have no intentions of going off the vegan path either.

My intention is to continue on the raw vegan path as my health is climbing and I haven't felt this great since I was 18 years old!! :)

Peace & Love
