Raw Food Diet Testimonials - Denise's Story
This is her story. I struggled with my weight my whole life. I could never be called obese, but I was always a couple of dress sizes over my ideal, which was extremely frustrating. I just figured that my body was different than most people’s and that diet and exercise didn’t work for me. I tried calorie counting, Weight Watchers, Atkins, meal replacement shakes and countless others. I constantly felt tired, cranky, moody and really under-confident about my body. I felt kind of ashamed because I was so interested in health and wellness, but couldn’t lose weight myself. I got engaged and started searching for a wedding diet, pretty determined that this was it. I was going to FINALLY lose weight! I figured that if I didn’t do it for my wedding, then I never would. I learned about raw food from a friend and decided to give it a go. I decided to give up counting calories, points or taking anything unnatural. I started eating real, whole and mostly raw food and my life has changed dramatically. Instead of eating McDonalds and Pizza Hut, I started loving juices, smoothies and salads instead. For once, I didn’t feel deprived, guilty or shameful about food. I stopped feeling depressed. I lost about two dress sizes before for my wedding and my life just feels right. Who knew that food would have such an impact on my life?! The very cool thing is that my fiancé, now my husband, lost almost 3 stone (42 pounds) in weight too, and is now a healthy, yoga addicted, strong and happy guy! I now run a website for brides-to-be, called rawbrides.com which helps other women looking for a wedding diet also try something that's simple and real. I figured that if women are going to change for their wedding, why not change to a lifestyle that will make them feel amazing, have an impact on the planet and contribute to a kinder world.
