I enjoyed a vegetarian lifestyle for about 4 years eating 80% raw and 20% cooked. Mindless eating, overeating and binging became a pattern even with those "healthier foods". Eating a package of "healthy cookies" on my way home from the grocery store was a habit for me, with a bag of Lays Chips, their Vegan right?
After the birth of my children I was 187 lbs. After transitioning to a vegetarian lifestyle I reached 164 lbs., but I was eating vegan burgers, pizza, lasagna's and I stopped loosing weight. I also noticed that my digestive track was not happy and "Easy like Sunday Morning". I started to feel physically as if I'd eaten meat, but it was all wheat or soy fake meats.
I was first introduced to raw vegan food when I began to study the Hallelujah Diet and Lifestyle, Hallelujah Acres in 2003. At that time just eliminating meat, dairy, sugar and processed foods was a huge undertaking. The transition to raw and living foods would take some much needed time, research, study and food preparation training.
In 2004, I ate my last piece of an animal and have never turned back. In 2007 I began to slowly enter the world of raw and will be raw for life!
I'm a 100% raw vegan or beegan to be exact, I love raw organic honey. My children and husband are 95% raw vegans. For the last 5 years we have enjoyed raw cuisine and the awesome benefits of eating live foods!
