Im a 23 year old student in Cardiff, Wales UK. I decided to join to get info and inspiration about the 80/10/10 vegan diet as in a few months I plan on switching to it. IHAVE NOW SWITCHED TO IT YAY! I became vegan in december 2010, when my eyes were opened to the shocking and disturbing cruelty to animals, even the ones which aren't killed for meat. While researching veganism I came across LFRV. I was at first skeptical and doubtful, I could not believe that anyone could survive just eating fruit and veg. I did more research and realised that there were lots of benefits in terms of health, energy and fitness. I realised that my life as it was was unhealthy, even though I did sports twice a week minimum, I never had the energy or motivation to, for example go for a long run, or early morning swim. I see how making changes in my diet could help me get this energy and motivation. It will also massively help me in my sport, I train in Kung Fu and WTF taekwondo. i used to train in karate and reached 1st degree black belt I also run to keep fit. I hope the dies will help me lose weight and have more energy for training while still being strong. I also hope that the diet will help me focus more energy into my uni work
I also suffer from an anxiety disorder and thyroid problems, im currently on medication and hoping eating LFRV will make me better :)
Im excited about the changes to come in my body and life! im hope ing my friends and family will accept my new lifestyle.

Welcome :)
If you cannot afford the 80/10/10 book I encourage you to check out Chris Kendall at www.the-raw-advantage.com. Chris has two books just put into publication "10 sure shot ways to improve your health" and "101 simply delicious raw recipes". If you're not able to pay the $15 total for both books, he is very generous and will lower the price as needed.
Cheers :)
Welcome, Samantha to 30 BaD!
