Just be gentle with yourself - and don't forget detoxing can bring up a variety of unexpected emotions and physical responses.

Also, you can make the recipes as complex or simple as you want - a simple tossed salad with raw nuts or seeds works just as well as a raw lasagne.

I understand what you're saying about cost and shopping at Costco - but I would encourage you to go organic as much as you can, getting better deals at Farmer's Markets or hooking up with a delivery service like Meadowlark suggested - or even growing your own.

I am committed to being organic for a variety of reasons, but recently I've been reading some things about so-called "conventionally" grown foods, and what I've learned makes me shudder.


Finally, I just wanted to say if you DO find yourself eating some cooked foods sometimes, don't beat yourself up about it. Maybe you won't, but I certainly know some people for whom it took time to figure out how to fill different biological hungers with raw food. Eating cooked, they know what to eat, but trying a new way of eating sometimes it can take a while to figure it out.

Patience and gentleness is key!!
