I am a Raw Food newbie, about to embark on the journey. I have been a Pilates Instructor for over 5 years, however have just been introduced to Bikram and I love it. My aim is to be rid of my acne which I have suffered with off and on for over 10 years. I have been researching for some months now about the alkalising nature of a whole food Raw Diet, and I feel that coupled with the detoxifying elements of Bikram, I could be rid of my bad skin very soon! Of course, the attributed health benefits and an all over glow is a great bonus not to be sneezed at!!
I am a positive, enthusiastic person, and I don't generally go around with my tongue out my mouth like in my profile pic - I was just testing the webcam. Honestly!! ;-)
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Transition advice and any other acne sufferers who have had relief with Raw Food would be great to network with.

I found there's a hell of a lot of improvement on sanitational smell when diet is very clean. i personally can now smell my own body, and it's pleasent. I think the bottom line is that we're meant to smell to an extent on sexual terms, to attract ...
