I am a baby in the raw world. I've chosen to start with a semi-raw diet, eating almost all raw during the day and after work (6:00 p.m.), I eat a semi-vegetarian diet. My goal is to be committed even further to a raw diet. I’m at the stage where I don’t even feel good when I eat cooked food anymore, healthy or not. I find that I feel sluggish afterward. But I'm finding it difficult to keep on weight as it is, I'm a work-out-aholic and I also dance a lot - So I tend to burn more calories than I consume. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

OMG! I just realized...... I never wrote you back. Sorry about that. Yeah, I cam up with those questions one day, they just came to me in a dream and I liked them. Keep asking and I know a miracle will happen. That is what happened for me. :-) Most people are working jobs they hate just to get by, We;ve all done it. My hubby does it every single day. :-( Just keep asking the questions, ask the Universe. It sounds so simple, yet it truly works. Meditating helped me too. Remember this...... THE PAST IS EXTINCT and the FUTURE DOES NOT EXIST UNTIL YOU CREATE IT!!!!! It will get easier. Raw foods definitely help propel people into a new stye of thinking and they give you way more energy to do the things you want to do. :-) YOU BET!! Eating raw definitely does a lot of the leg work for you. GLAD I COULD
HELP! :-)
WOW! Thanks for the amazing compliments! You are a sweetheart!
Blessings to you.

thank you for that great advice. I enjoy different things too much to just cut them out completely. I also want to make real progress in my overall health, physical and mental. One thing thats so great about raw is that the energy it gives you. I get energy at night sometimes..ill wake up in the middle of the night and have to exercise or else I wont go back to sleep. Is that strange? Maybe I dont exert enough throughout the day to sleep throughout the night. Ill adjust over time. Yeah im definitely not one for deprivation, life without happy hour with friends once in a while is just wrong to me. I guess everyone should just go with what feels right. Were all different and have different needs, and yet we all look for a these rules that cover everyone.
Thank you, Karma! You are stunning and your little boy is adorable. It really makes me happy to hear that he has a wonderful father figure in his life now. My daughter, Maia, is 15 months.
Thanks for your support in the discussion about relapse. Im going through this thing lately were i feel best inside and out when Im almost totally raw, but i go through phases where I feel like Im missing out, doing things like going out for happy hour with friends and having drinks, things that will do doubt sabatoge my raw efforts but the thought of going through life totally without them is...blah. Maybe I just need to reset my priorities, find new definitions for fun. Im also finding more economical ways to stay raw so I dont have that financial relapse again. Its fun to meet people here and talk about our different experiences. I have a cousin in Houston, he seems to like it alot there. I lived in Kingsville for a year when I was 16. Ever heard of it?
You are such a BEAUTY! Thanks for the lovely compliments. WOW! :-) I started a raw business about 10 years ago, because I have known about the benefits of raw since I was 15 years old. I have been a vegan since I was 5 years old. I have been juicing straight since I was 15 1/2. Anyway, a raw business just made sense. I love eating raw. Love love love love it! I am a huge cacao fan, even experimentally lived on it for 30 days just to see what would happen and if all the negative fear based stories were true and I found that I felt better than I ever have in years. I have done 3 40 day water fasts in my lifetime, that was awesome. I've practically done every supplement out there and found that green smoothies make supplements obsolete. I have had two near death (one 2 weeks away from death from a brain infection) the other Parrot Fever. Raw foods have literally changed my life. What a blessing. What I have found through all of this is the following~
where is your joy?
do you love what you are doing each day?
Are you having fun?
Are you enjoying what you are eating?
Are you exercising enough?
Are you focused on the positive?
Is what you are doing fear based or knowledge based?
Do you listen to your body?
These are the key elements that have kept me 100% raw.
Hope this helps you.
Many many many blessings to you Beautiful One,
Angelina
