Raw Newbie
Hello!!! I’m Jaime, I am turning 19 tomorrow, and I want to be raw:) I have been vegetarian for around 8 years, vegan for 4-5? and on and off raw for short amounts of time:) I’ve always lost weight and felt fantastic when I eat raw, but I love to cook and always end up going back to not so good for you vegan stuff. I love food and smoothies, and have a supportive family. My brother, who is 21, and due to medication over the years, weighs about 330 lbs, down from 380 lbs. He lost 30 in the last 2 months after his doctor prescribed him some new medicines. He wants to lose weight naturally, and we are both doing the Couch to 5 K program, so over a few weeks will be running 5k. He would love to be off of medications, and hopes through eating better and getting outside, he’ll be able to do that:) I, personally, could just lose a few pounds and overall eat healthier, and hopefully find an immune system! I have low blood pressure, which results in “POTS” and I get sick very often(I’ve had mono, strep a few times, bronchitis, tons of colds, sinus infections, ear infections, salmonella poisoning, tons of overall flu like symptoms, migraine for weeks after a concussion, terrible monthly cramps, and anything else imaginable:) )
Anyway!! We both want to be at good weights, be physically fit, have lots of immunity powers, and enjoy the food we eat:) So.. hopefully we’ll both be able to stick with raw, and its great to meet everyone here!! By the way, the recipes on this site are incredible!
One other thing, we both agree the low-fat, high fruit, 80-10-10 style is wonderful for us!
Thanks and have a fantastic day!:)

That sounds fantastic :) Good on you guys for wanting to get fir naturally! Good luck on your raw journey! :D
Thanks!! We are hoping to stick with it.. I’ve fallen back into bad foods so many times. I plan to look at it as just eating as healthy as possible, if I eat non-raw and such, no big deal, just keep trying to eat as much raw stuff as possible. Hope it works:) Just have to remember I have will power, somewhere:)
