We are newbies but for the last 2 months, we have been vegetarian...certainly not raw or vegan, but vegetarian. It has been interesting changing our stash of recipes, finding places that even serve vegetarian meals (we are in meat and potato lovin' WV) and fighting off temptation. I noticed...almost immediately...that I felt so much better. I don't feel sluggish as I used to, I don't get heartburn, I don't have upset stomach after eating. It's been a great liberation actually and no where near as difficult as I expected. Our intent is to eventually eat vegan but we needed to ease into the change initially. Anyhow, keep writing...I for one need info and inspiration! We have been long time meat/junk food eaters but we have just recently changed our ways.

When you don't slather your foods in condiments and sauces, and give the natural flavors a chance, it's really an eye opener. Who knew celery had such a pleasant saltiness to it? Chuck P.S. Congrats on your new location! Good move. :-) One of the things that surprised me most about raw foods was all the lovely yet subtle flavors of fresh, whole fruits and vegetables.

I can agree. My tastes are changing. I can't say I love salad but I am definitely thinking about how awesome it will be to take a tomato from my garden and just eat it with some salt - or salt pepper and olive oil. I love olive but, haven't found them raw - do you order them. Wow – That picture is crazy – where did you get it? I can agree. My tastes are changing.

I love olive but, haven’t found them raw – do you order them.

I love your blog!!! :-D I've experienced all sorts of stages of raw. I've been 100% raw at various times but for the past few years I've maintained a minimum of 75%+ raw. The majority of the time, I'm 90%+ raw. Right now, I'm closer to 100% raw than I've been in a while. Of course, some raw foodies don't even drink tea. I do. I always will. Herbal tea is my favorite drink besides water. :-D *smiles* Michele So glad I followed over from Twitter! I love your blog!!! :-D
