Hello, I am a 42 year old overweight dad of 4 beautiful kids, I am married to an incredible woman, celebrating our 20th anniversary this year. I have tried every thing to loose weight, including raw foods. However when I was exploring raw foods I saw some negative posts about 80/10/10 so I never looked into it much. After 3 months of being raw and just fatigued out of my mind, I went back to my SAD diet and gained even more weight then when I had started raw. That was April 2010, I knew RAW was what I needed I just did not know how to do it so I could thrive on it. Fast forward to now, I never quit lurking and reading about raw, I just couldn't get my mind wrapped around trying it again. Then one day I woke up realized I was 350 pounds, I was lazy, had no energy and knew this was not the life I deserved. I was reading a post from Kevin Gianni, as i said I kept lurking but just didn't do anything to better myself except read an article or two. In Kevin's post he mentioned The Fruitarian, Michael Arnstein, so I looked up his site and watched some of his videos, and low and behold it lead me here. I have watched probably 2+ hours of Dr. Douglas Graham's videos and will be picking up his book this weekend. I have been eating 80/10/10 since Monday, I have been attempting to get the calories in everyday, it has been a struggle starting out but I seem to be able to get more and more in each day. I have gone through a few withdrawal symptoms (headaches mostly) but my energy is climbing and my blood sugar is dropping already! I am here to learn and get support right now. I am sure in the future I will be able to offer the same to future members. Thanks and hope to meet you soon.
