Hey there,

I've been raw since April 2008, with a bit of discrepancy over winter, mainly due to depression over a failed relationship. I've been 99%-100% raw again since March.
I don't have a dehydrator yet, though I do want one - it isn't necessary to succeed. I have dehydrated treats sometimes from a raw restaurant in Vancouver.
I've cured all of my issues (except cold sores, which are a lot less severe on the rare occasion I get them) with this diet - extra weight is gone, no more depression (which I dealt with for 25 years and it was gone in 10 days), no more bladder infections, healthier teeth, better skin, no lethargy or insomnia. There was a couple of times where I was so happy I couldn't sleep, though. Hah.
Bread was the hardest thing for me to give up, strangely. I thought it would be sugar but I had so many things to replace it with, and when I read I could still eat chocolate, I was sold. Actually I rarely eat chocolate now, and when I do, I barely need any to be satisfied.
You can always have mana bread - it's a bit cakey, but they sell it in the frozen section of health food stores (Whole Foods will have it), it's quite good. I used to eat it quite a bit.
Keep your diet simple - get Ani Phyo's book, she has nice simple recipes, and check out books by Natalia Rose, too. She isn't 100% raw, but she is all about detox and quick exit foods. Interesting reading.

I would love more info if you have some:) I bet it would make me feel really good and probably have more energy, which I totally need. Do you get enough protein from the nuts? Or do you have to take vitamins while on the diet?

Oh, thank you! The community is one reason why hooping means a lot to me; we're here to help and support each other. :-) Hope you are having a good evening!
