1 Year of Raw Diet

Today, on June 21st 2026, I complete 40 years of life on this planet and my heart is filled with gratitude. Life has been kind and brought me many beautiful experiences. It feels unbelievable to me that 40 years just went by. On this important day of my life, I decided to dedicate my next 1 year to raw diet.

Food has been an important aspect of my life. I am a food lover. Till I was 35 year old, I ate what my mother cooked. I loved deep fried foods, spicy pickles, white rice, maggi, pani puri, pizza, gulab jamuns etc. My turning point came in diet in 2020 when my mother went through diabetic neuropathy where nerves in her legs were damaged and she was bed-ridden.

Her sugar levels were very high, BP is high, thyroid levels are out of range. As per the doctor we consulted, sugar, BP, thyroid levels can be brought to control wth medication but nothing much can be done for legs and she can only be bed-ridden for life as neuropathy cannot be healed. This was devastating to me.

I am an Energy Healing teacher and Energy Healer. Along with medicines, I applied Energy Healing on my mother for 1 month and my mother’s high BP came to normal. Her BP medicine is discontinued. However, thyroid and Sugars are stil high and medications are going on. She is still bedridden. So, what next?

My dream is to make my mother walk again and I am a person who NEVER gives up on my dreams. So, I started searching ways. When I was searching for answers, a student came to my Energy Healing class and mentioned that she reversed her diabates through diet. This was an AHA moment for me and I enrolled in the program she suggested.

I applied whatever I learnt about diet on my mother. Along with my mother, I also ate the same diet as I wanted to walk along with her in her healing journey. In few months, my mother’s thyroid and sugar levels came down to normal. In another few months, she started walking and became completely free of medications. This was a miracle to me.

My mother’s journey inspired me and I started my own jourey in diet. I lost 14 Kgs of weight, healed anemia, reversed thyroid, infertility and had baby in 2024.

In the last 6 years, I have read more than 100 books on food, enrolled in various courses on diet and went through various diets. Out of all the diets I tried, one diet stood out for me and that is raw diet.

Everytime I went through raw diet, I experienced very high energy levels, slow breathing, cool mind. I was peaceful and happy for no reason.This experience took me again and again to raw diet. But I could not sustain it because cooked food tempted me and pulled me back.

Today as I complete 40 years on this planet, I felt a deep urge within where I want to be on raw diet for next 1 year. I understand that many challenges lie infront of me in making this happen. The biggest challenge is cooked food is an addiction and overcoming addiciton is not easy at all.

Hence, I created this blog to act as my accountability partner where I will share my exeriences and learnings. Along with my experience, I will also answer some frequently asked questions about raw diet.

Stay tuned!
