Raw Food Lifestyle

I have been eating a strictly raw food diet since I got out of the hospital in September... and it is AMAZING! I am still not allowed to lose any weight and my goal is to get healthier and stronger so that I can exercise and be in great shape!

I am looking for "friends" here to share information on the Raw Foodist lifestyle... has anybody recovered from an eating disorder using this eating lifestyle? I just wanted to know and I'm happy to share what I know about it!

Thanks!

what is this diet?

I read a great book about it called, The Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose... she is a nutritionist. Anyways everything is about detoxing your whole body from waste products... cleaning out your cells and your whole system. Your main foods should really be fruit, vegetables, grains and nuts... and raw. It's really good for me because I can't even force myself to eat all the meat and bread and all the cooked foods anyway! So on this diet you eat fruit or drink fresh 100% juice most of the day. I haven't been able to gain any weight on this diet. It's really healthy and it gives you tons of energy but you really have to eat a lot - and NOT purge if you want it to work. I really want to be healthy now and I do NOT want to spend the rest of my life in the hospital with a tube up my nose and down my throat so I am taking it very seriously.

If you want to ask me anything I am happy to help :-)

Good luck!!!
