This is my journey from being an average, overweight mom in the Midwest on the Standard American Diet (SAD) to becoming the best possible version of myself on a raw foods diet. I am a “raw food newbie” and hope to inspire others along the way that we can all become super healthy and live our lives to the fullest regardless of our age.

Hi Cassie,
Where are you in the mid west? Just curious. I recently moved from CA. to Ohio almost a year ago and have been trying to get back to my raw food ways. It’s much easier to be raw in CA where there are restaurants etc! It’s been a struggle here in Columbus which feels like a chain city.

Hi Rachel! I am in the Indianapolis area. I know exactly how you feel. At many restaurants it is nearly impossible to eat vegetarian, much less have very “raw” choices. Hopefully, things are surely, but slowly changing even out in our part of the country. Hang in there!
