My wife actually showed me a bunch of videos on this and I was very interested in it. This seems to me to be a very good way to live healthy and keep a healthy weight! I have always struggled with weight my entire life. I went from being about 315lbs(i'm 6'2) all through high school and I was always disgusted with myself but just didn't know how to handle it. I went off to college and went from one extreme to another. I started to starve my self and down diet pills like they were tic tacs(about 15-30 diet pills a day) while working out for an hour or two until I was about to pass out. I dropped about 115lbs in the span of 3 to 4 months. I was extremely hard on my self, for example if I slipped up and ate something I would force myself to go work out right away for about an hour even if I ate something as small as a banana. I went from starving myself to binge eating and throwing up anything and everything I possibly could. This went on for about the span of two years. In this time I was very sick, I was in and out of the hospital with things like pneumonia, pluresy, and about a year later I found out that I had a tumor on my liver which put me to bed rest for about four months, in which time I went back to starving myself. About a year after that I had gotten married and things began to go perfectly and I have never been happier. With being comfortable with someone sometimes comes weight gain...It happened...I have gained back a lot of the weight that I had lost and have just been frustrated with no "diets" or anything working. When I saw this raw lifestyle I knew I would love it. I don't have to worry about dieting and starving myself or working out until I feel like i'm going to die. It is a complete lifestyle change and I was ready for one(food wise). We are still new at this but loving it. This is something that we both want to incorporate for a lifetime. Please let me know of any helpful tips or tricks!
