I had a recent awakening

As of last week I finished the Fast Metabolism Diet. During the 4 weeks I was on it I came across the video, Fat, Sick and nearly Dead on Netflix and, if anyone has Netflix you know that it gives you suggestions after you watch a video. Well, I came across many educating videos that opened my eyes to the destruction I was doing to my body and how I was contributing to the torture and waste of animals. My heart broke. I starting doing more research and I decided a week ago to go Vegan. Maybe one day raw. I would love to have some great support and help along my journey. I am open to education and hope to get informed by joining this group. I hope to get great recipes and make some awesome true friends.

    Hello! Welcome :)

    If you are on netflix and interested in watching some other health documentaries I urge you to watch Food Inc, Forks over Knives, Food Matters, and they also have one on raw food called Simply Raw. It's amazing the things you find on netflix!

    There are loads of great websites with recipes.

    A few that I really enjoy to get you started are:

    I am so glad you've made this compassionate decision! My top choices for documentaries are Forks Over Knives and Earthlings.

    I have 20+ cookbooks and the Forks Over Knives DVD compantion book and FOK Cookbook are my two favorites. I turn to them again and again, moreso than all the others combined.

    I am on here daily and welcome the friendship and any questions you may have. I'm sending you a friend request :)
