The Reluctant Raw Foodist
"I used to be a' foodie' and now I am a "foodist'"
Welcome to my health and wellbeing blog.
I’m not a raw foodist by choice. I was recently diagnosed as having a complicated autoimmune condition including severe Histamine Intolerance and a form of reactive arthritis. I have become hypersensitive to high histamine foods, pollen, dust and some everyday chemicals. My condition affects every area of my life.
I have Mast Cell Activation Disease (MCAD).
I was prescribed a low histamine diet and then a raw food diet to ease my symptoms and over the past 2 years I have overcome my reluctance to a new way of eating and living. I have been experimenting to combine the two diets and I have been learning how to eat a diet comprising mainly of low histamine raw fruit and vegetables and how to change the habits of a life time.
I am starting to feel healthier than I have ever been before. I have also lost 35 lbs in weight.
I will be sharing with you how I got here and I'll be exploring low histamine raw recipes, natural beauty products, how to cope with being "allergic to everything" and generally how to regain health and fitness and live life to the full despite my unusual condition!
Please feel free to message me with any suggestions, questions, or comments. I'd love to hear from you!

Good message. It really isn’t about what you weigh! Health is the important thing, not numbers on the scale.
I just wanted to make this to show people that what they may think is effective for weight loss actually isn’t. The first picture was taken after a week or so of heavy restricting and binging. The second picture was taken after a week of healthy eating & exercise.
You know what else? You shouldn’t let the scale define your progress. I am the exact same weight in both pictures but yet I look different.
Start treating your body with love. Nourish yourself and you’ll see results. I promise.
Please listen to this message. Please eat today.
Everyone who has ever contemplated losing weight through unhealthy methods needs to see this.

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is an inspirational film showing how Joe and Phil lost a lot of weight and got rid of their autoimmune conditions (and all the prescribed tablets) in the process. So worth watching x

My breakfast smoothie may look boring but it is delish. 3 large ripe bananas and water.
Ideal snack!
