Woman goes raw, loses more than half herself
CNN brings us the story of Angela Stokes, who half her body weight by embracing a raw food diet.
Two summers after she reached her heaviest weight, Stokes was working at a greenhouse in Iceland, when a friend lent her a copy of a book about the health benefits of eating raw foods. Stokes, who had never been interested in diets, says she was completely “absorbed” by the approach.
She started eating raw the very next day.
“Everything in my life completely shifted. It was like a light bulb moment to be like … ‘this is what I was waiting for to reclaim my health,’ ” said Stokes.
Somewhat obvious, but still inspiring, is how it turned all aspects of her life around.
