This is Angela’s story:

 

As viewed on CNN (3), Angela explains that her weight ballooned up. She felt unwell, miserable, and struggled with an under active thyroid. She admitted, “I ate junk food all the time. I was very closed down emotionally. I had no interest in dieting; I just wanted to eat all the time … that was like my comfort in life.” (4)

 

She continues “on the surface” of everything she appeared fine. She gave the impression that everything was fine, but deep down she was hurting. She desperately wanted to do something about it.

 

But how?

 

The day came when she was working in a greenhouse in Iceland that completely changed her world. A friend of hers lent a copy of a book about health benefits of eating raw foods. Having always been uninterested in “diets,” she was completely fascinated by the approach. (4)

She says she had an “epiphany” and a “light bulb moment came on.” That day she knew she needed to reclaim her health. That day, she did. There was no turning back.

 

That day she immediately transformed her life to a raw food diet and found herself on the road to health.

Being on a raw food diet is a lifestyle.

Angela’s diet mainly consists of nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruits. Nothing is processed. Nothing is cooked. Everything is just 100% pure raw living foods.

 

She understands that being 100% raw can be challenging, both emotionally and socially. She encourages connecting with other raw foodists for shared experience and support.

 

Angela recommends anyone who desires to start a raw food diet is to “start out being at least 50% raw and go from there.” While it may not be convenient for many people to commit to a fully raw lifestyle, she believes that even consuming just 50% of your foods raw, “then the balance is in your favor.” (4)

 

It’s beneficial to start with foods that you know and work from there, adding on new foods to experience to broaden your tastes.
