Wow - that is amazing - thank you IL.... This is the first time in my life I am eating correctly without feeling hungry or deprived. I love the way I am feeling just eating highly nutritious raw foods and no empty calories at all. What a blessing - it took getting super ill and experiencing excruciating hellish pain to get me here and now I am grateful that it happened. I on my way. I haven't gotten to the fasting part yet, but I am much more confident that I can do it now - when I tried it before I didn't make it through but I also had no support. This forum is fantastic.... I'm impressed with all of you.
