Patchouli

Hello everybody :)

I’ve been browsing this forum for around a week during my transition from cooked vegan to raw vegan. I started by eating raw through the day and one cooked food, eg. a jacket potato, with a salad.

The one thing I’m finding hard to give up is caffeine, everything else has been a breeze! I had my very first totally raw food day (except the coffee) yesterday and I was so happy! I’ve also eased my husband in to my new lifestyle by cooking him his favourite (vegan) meals so he doesn’t ‘miss’ out!

Anyway, see you round the forum :)

hi Patchouli! i am also new to raw, exploring, and i am not 100%. i have also struggled with letting go of (much loved:) coffee. however, as i began to eat more raw food throughout the day, i began to feel less energized after drinking coffee. so i began drinking green tea (about 2 weeks ago) as a replacement and i believe the warmth and caffeine of this beverage helped me deal with the psychological attachment. be gentle with yourself! i wish you well!
