Raw Food

I used to love eating, everything and there was no food I didn't like. I've eaten a huge variety of foods in my life but when I was starting to wake up I gave up meat. Then I was searching for a perfect diet. I've tried lots of different approaches wanting to be healthy and loose some creeping pounds, which I was gaining more and more as I was getting older.
Finally two years ago I found it. A raw food book landed in my hands and I couldn't put it down. That was it and I was hooked. I’ve decided to try it for a week and two years later I'm still with it.
There is a huge difference between my first attempts of eating raw and what I'm eating now. I've learnt so much about healthy eating, my body and become more spiritual. I didn't realised that food has so much to do with spirituality.
At the beginning I wasn't eating only raw food as I was transitioning and occasionally had cooked meal, mainly when I was socialising. It was also very difficult for me to give up wine and cheese, which I finally did this September.
Now I'm mainly eating superfoods and I'm still researching and experimenting with this amazing way of eating.
When I'm talking about raw food diet I don't mean carrot and celery sticks but delicious dips, crackers, raw pizza, raw lasagne, soups and best of all, raw chocolate, all of which I make myself.
Today my cupboard is stocked up with goji berries, chocolate chips and powder, hemp seeds, flax seeds, spirulina, green algae, seaweeds and variety of oils.
I'm fortunate enough to have a large garden so I have my own supply of salad and other vegetables.
I'm growing my own food and nourish my body and at the same time I also nourish my soul. Raw food gave me so much clean, light energy, abundance of new energy. I sleep less and I'm not tired anymore. My head is clear and my heart if full of love.
