Hi everyone. I just joined this site today, and I am already in love. :) Quick background: I am 34- I was a SAD eater all my life until a couple of months ago. I became vegan after reading “Skinny Bitch” and “Eat to Live” by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. I was never a big fan of meat anyway, so the only problem I’ve had with being vegan is not having dairy. I discovered the raw lifestyle a few weeks ago, and it was love at first sight – this is the only “diet” that has really made SENSE.
Anyway, I have at least 100 lbs to lose, which is my biggest motivation to be raw. But I am starting to realize that not only do I want to lose weight, I truly want to be healthy. What a concept. :)
I’m looking forward to meeting everyone! :) Kendra

Hi Kendra! Iam a student at UNH and know a few raw people around here. A friendly and lovely raw couple that live 15 minutes from portsmouth have a raw potluck once a month that you are more then welcome to attend! They make tons of raw treats and have a little shop in their home and are now selling their products for Sunfood Nutrition which is very exciting.
Thanks for responding – everyone is great here. :) And it’s great to see so many other New Englanders! Has anyone been to Alissa Cohen’s restuarant Grezzo yet (in Boston)? I haven’t, but I can’t wait.
Lovetobenatural – you have totally made my day!! I can’t believe there is a monthly raw potluck so close to me – I am so excited!! I will have to get more details – thank you so much!!
As little orphan Annie would say, I think I’m gonna like it here. :)
I have been to Grezzo ONCE A WEEK since Feb 18
I LOVE THE PLACE!
Everyone is so friendly! and the food is DELICIOUS.
