Angela Stokes weighed 300 pounds and was miserable and unhealthy when a friend gave her a book that changed her life. She began a raw vegan diet after reading about the health benefits and has lost 160 pounds in two years.
Now weighing 138 pounds, she has written several books on ‘raw foodism’, which she claims improved both her physical and emotional health dramatically. She reports that everything in her life completely shifted in the light bulb moment. She eats uncooked and unprocessed vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds and claims that the approach of eating food straight from the earth is simple and natural.
Within the first month of going raw, she saw improvements physically, emotionally and socially. She was almost immediately happier than she had ever been. She has kept the weight off for four years and cautions people to start slowly by incorporating raw foods they enjoy first, working up to at least a 50 percent raw diet to achieve the health benefits.
Her books include Raw Emotions and an e-book with recipes called RawReform.
