How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Well, I need it all! :) Moral support because no one else I know eats raw or even close to it. I am also desperately hoping I can find someone to assist me get back into figure competitons, without the horrible diet I had to follow. I want to compete again doing it RAW!!! Not sure how to do that though since the diets I've followed in the past are soooo different than the raw food lifestyle

Newbie looking for advice...pretty pleeeaaase with Stevia on top and an organic cherry:)

About 2 months ago I discovered raw food (ironically on a day I was home sick from work) and have been incorportaing as much of it as I can into my day. I love it, I love the way I feel, it just makes sense! Anyway, I am not 100% raw but probably about 75% or so. I love the way I feel and I know the health benefits are amazing so I know I won't ever go back to eating like I used to. HOWEVER, because I am so involved in fitness and am interested in doing more figure competitions with a raw diet,… Continue
