Hello from Oregon

Hi! I’m from Oregon and have been interested in going raw for about 5 months. I haven’t made the transition yet due to circumstances, but I’m NOT giving up. :) I am very overwhelmed and will probably be posting a lot of kinda silly newbie questions. :D

    Hey there! I’m new too! I used to live in Oregon..Medford…what area are you located in?

  • i love silly newbie questions! and please, don’t feel overwhelmed… try starting off including basics like fruit smoothies and salads in your regular meals… snack on fruit and nuts between meals… only eat when you are hungry… and before you know it, you’ll be 50 or 60% raw, just like that. then you can try doing some all raw meals, like nori or lettuce wraps.

    i know, we talk about all kinds of crazy raw stuff, but you only need do what you feel comfortable with/what works for your schedule/circumstances. Welcome to Gone Raw!

  • Hey, Tuna! I’m in Portland and thought I’d give you an Oregon shout out. About feeling overwhelmed… I’m a newbie too but I got some good advice last night from a random raw person at People’s Food Co-op. She said not to worry so much about being perfect or getting all wrapped up in dehydrating, sprouting, etc., but to concentrate on eating whole foods. Like when you get hungry, grab a banana instead of crackers. The difference you’ll feel just from doing this will be huge! Hope this helps!

    Welcome, Adria

  • Hey, Auburn Eyes – if that’s a recent pic, you look amazing for 39!! Not that 39 is old… just saying if you said you were in your 20’s I’d believe it. :)
