I decided to make it a gradual transition, since I was already vegetarian (in fact, near vegan) for the last 8 years. I was always ashamed and embarrassed to admit that because people always assume that vegetarians are slim. Let me tell you, there are plenty of overweight vegetarians and vegans out there!

In the weeks leading up to my decision to go raw, I threw out any pure junk food in the trash, becuase that’s where it belonged. What was left really wasn’t that bad as far the general public would be concerend, but I decided to clean out my refrigerator and kitchen cupboards. In the process, I removed any foods that were not raw or that required cooking and gave them to friends, family or the food bank.
