Cooked Food vs. Raw Food Birthday Before & After Pictures
Losing weight is just one of the many benefits in a raw food diet. Every day I get compliments on my skin – how clear and healthy it is, my hair – how natural and clean it looks, and my eyes -how clear and vibrant they are…these are things I never heard when eating a cooked and devitalized food diet. Also my energy has improved and I have more passion about the things I do in life, something that I never expected from raw foods. I feel more connected to my body and to Mother Earth. I digest food better and I enjoy the flavors in food more, and believe me there are so many beautiful delicious flavors in raw foods – just try fresh tamarind, ginger, jack fruit, apricots, papaya, pineapple or mango and you will understand!

Keep in mind that you do not have to commit to a 100% raw food diet in order to enjoy the benefits of raw foods. Your body will be grateful to receive any natural vibrations from Mother Earth!
Good health and healing is a journey. There is no beginning and no ending, just a path to stay on and keep on. The other thing you need to do is walk on your path every day. I support you on your journey to better health and vibrant living and Mother Earth supports you too!

What a lovely transformation, especially in skin-tone!! I’ve just started a high-raw diet (about 10% cooked food) after dabbling with raw foods for a couple of years.
Just wondering how long before you began to notice a difference in your skin and hair, and also how long before you noticed your food tastes were changing (ie. wanting cooked foods less). I realise that everyone is different, but it’s always so nice to hear other’s experiences when just starting out on the journey…
Hi Kate, It took about 3 months to start really seeing the change, and for other people to notice too!
This is a great post!! I was just thinking about doing one on a similar topic to get people’s input!! Raw food is really important to keep a happy healthy body 😉
You do glow!!! Good for you!
