Welcome to Aromatic Wings in the Raw!

Hi Everyone and Welcome!

I am embarking on something new here. I have never blogged before so please bear with me. Here you will find me, Debbie, aka Aromatic Wings, in my journey through Rawdom. What does this mean? Well, It means I am on a healthy quest and it involves eating only raw fruits, raw veggies, raw nuts, and raw seeds.

I am learning both blogging and being accountable for my raw self. Here I will give detail of what I have eaten and any comments I have about the day. I am also hoping this will help me with weight loss so I will be adding every now and then a weight if there seems to be any changes. So come with me and I hope you will have fun and will learn as much as I do along the way.

Just to let anyone know. I am not a newbie at being raw. I have been back and forth for about a year's time now. But I understand that being 100% raw has better benefits and is really much healthier for you. So this is me starting 100% raw. Up until this point the I have to say that I have had tremendous results even eating partially SAD (Standard American Diet) and partially Raw.

I started out weighing 305lbs and because I had not stuck with this 100% I have only lost down to 280lbs. But hey, that is good for me for now. Considering the SAD stuff I had eaten up until now. But I am finding that my body is getting more sensitive to what I put into it as fuel. When I do have sugar of some sort I do not feel well at all. I get all flushed and heart races.. It is not a fun feeling. And this is coming from a sugar freak up until about a year or so ago.

Due to finances, I am not able to eat the fancy dinners that you can find on the web for raw eating. I am fine with that. Please do not let finances keep you from doing this way of life. It Can be done with very little money. I priced a weeks worth of food for just me once and I ate like a Queen for this week. For only about $30.00. It takes an imaginative mind, some creativity and just a bit of just plain resigning to the fact that you can not have all the fancy ingredients of some of the recipes out there. It is much easier to KEEP IT SIMPLE. Besides, if you get too used to having all the fancy stuff you may get discouraged because your health doesn't move along as you liked. Too much fats from avocados or nuts can slow things down. But just remember that pay for your health NOW or pay dearly for it LATER.

Do yourself a big favor and give your body the nourishment it is crying for. Do a google search for Raw and living foods and start Your Own healthy quest to a happier healthier YOU.

Tomorrow I will give you a full days worth of what has been eaten. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you for visiting me here.
