My church is very open and willing to learn. They recently had an 8 week course on natural eating - emphasis on raw fruits, vegetables and juices. But I am trying to get back on track. I am noticing more arthritis pain than I have had in weeks and I am waking up with sinus headaches, congestion, etc. I have always had a weight problem and a problem with food craving.
Raw foods do seem to cut out most of the cravings.
Though I have not stayed raw constantly enough to see a big weight reduction I do lose weight steadily and comfortably when I eat primarily raw. So I have incentive to get back on track with eating raw. I am single and have 2 cats - Snuggles and Zippy. They were named for their primary attributes at 8 weeks of age. Zippy still zips just not constantly.
