How it started…
Over the years my digestion got worse and worse to a point where I was constantly constipated and had severe stomach pain every few days. I’ve tried acupuncture, Chinese herbs, healing earth, etc. but nothing helped. Even a gastroscopy didn’t indicate any problems. A lactose test finally showed that I’m lactose intolerant and as soon as I stopped eating dairy products my stomach pain got better but not the constipation.
By coincidence or rather by faith I stumbled across the 80/10/10 Diet and the Banana Island via Instagram in February 2014. And after all the positive experiences and success stories that I read and saw I couldn’t wait to give it a try. So from one day to another I decided to become a low fat raw vegan. I bought lots of bananas and ate nothing else for seven days except for some lettuce and dates. The benefits were amazing! I’ve never felt better and even my constipation went away. After this week I started to incorporate a variety of different raw fruits & veggies and became very passionate about creating low fat raw vegan recipes. And even thought it wasn’t always easy I never went back to cooked foods or animal products.
