Welcome Samantha,

 

I was new in December, though not new to this way of eating.  I wish you all the best in this fantastic journey.  It`s a truly healthy and natural way of eating.  The path is not easy, but nothing wort doing ever is,  this is a fantastic site with tons of support.  I think you`ll enjoy the discussions.

 

This site has helped more than anything else for me to stay RAW.  I`ve gone 3 weeks eating raw and feel great... much better sleep for sure.

 

So, once again, welcome

Thank you for the welcome, its nice to meet you :) well done for following the path I can only imagine how challenging it must be!

Im guessing a good thing would be to gradually increase the amount of fruit into my diet at the same time slowly reduce other types of food.

Best of luck to you :) hope to see you around!!

Samantha,

 

It is most important to go at your own pace and don;t beat yourself up if you are not eating optimally.  Take your time and you will succeed.  And yes upping the fruit will help a lot.  Personally, I juice a lot of oranges and eat them as well (it is my favorite fruit).  Making banana smoothies also helps. 

I don`t know where you live (if it`s a cold place) but I can tell you that I live in a very cold place (Quebec , Canada) and it is doable here.  Dates also go a long way to helping as they are high in calories.

Thats reassuring because one of my only worries is that it wouldn't work for me living in Cardiff, UK. Im not sure but I don't think its quite as cold here as it is in Canada so at least I dont have to worry about that :)

Thats true! I massively increased my fruit intake per day a few days ago and already start to feel a little more energized this makes me even more eager to start eating raw :) Good to meet another new person :)
