Hi
If you're craving salty things, your body needs more minerals, so eat more leafy greens. Spinach, kale, green onions, green leafy herbs like basil, coriander. Put a handful of spinach and kale into your fruit smoothies. I struggles for a year with horrendous cravings, until I discovered the leafy green thing. David Wolfe Sunfood Success Systems it''s all in there!
Basically if you eat a balance of leafy greens, sweet friut and plant fat - advocado/nuts, you'll be fine and have no cravings really.
I'd recommend that you read a lot about it, reading helped inspire me, especially Detox Your World by Shazzie (
www.detoxyourworld.com and
www.shazzie.com) and Nature's First Law The Raw Food Diet by Arlin, Dini and Wolfe. ( it's a great but they actually plagurised it from a 1960's book by an Iranian man, and I hear you can buy the original from Hallelulia Acres via amazon.com)
If I were you, I wouldn't worry about your hubby, just focus on yourself. He will get into it as you make meals that taste better than cooked, and when you start to look so hot, other men notice and he gets worried!!
Actually, fasting is great for your health!
My husband is raw too and he eats alot more than me. I usually make sure that there's a big meal for him once a day. He fills up with green smoothies thru the day though. Having dehydrated stuff like crackers, burgers, sausages, tortillas is essential for transitioning I think, 'specially for big guys like my hubby!
It's not about punishment, this raw food diet is pure sensual pleasure. Make loads of lovely foods, and instead of focusing on cravings all day, spend your day planning and preparing an amazing gourmat raw meal. That's what I do if I feel like eating some chips.
