As I look back, believe me, I spent SO many hours preparing foods, everything from scratch, so that my boys and hubby were kept healthy. If I had known about raw/living foods, I could have used that time to set us all on a better eating path. However, everything in its own time -- and now is that time for me.
At least you will be eating very lightly and not meat and potatoes :) o) :)
As MH says, now that you have done the fast and you know how fabulous you felt, you have changed your life.
