Hi, I want to make a change to Raw!

Hi everyone, I am wanting to make a change to Raw. Looking for some simple things to make transition, without spending a lot of $$, hope to learn a lot on this site. I'll mostly be reading! Email me for tips in beginning this lifestyle change. Need a mentor or even just one email for encouragement. Thanks for being there.

Definitely get a few cookbooks and read through them for ideas. The hardest part for me has been changing how I think about food. When you get hungry, you usually start to think about what you want to eat. If you grew up on cooked foods, that's where your mind is going to go. So you need to have alternatives. This is where the cookbooks will help. Otherwise you might just end up eating fruits and nuts and vegetables as they are, which could get boring. Eating a nut pate, for example, is a very different experience than eating a handful of nuts. Plus, there are so many flavor variations with the pate, so you feel like your eating different things and not just more nuts.

Find a list of raw foods. It might be larger than you thought. (Sun dried tomatoes -- be careful of the brand though -- Olives, Bubbies jarred Pickles, for example. Fiind some new foods: maybe Jicama (great in "mashed potatoes" or Miso)

Zucchini Pasta with Raw tomato sauce. This is quicker and easier than the cooked version -- and tastier too. My all time favorite. (You can get a spiralizer for about $40. It is SO worth it -- get the 3 blade one.

Good Luck

Dear Raw_Foodie:

Try getting some books from the library before you start spending your money.

There's a lot or recipes online. See what you like.

I go back and forth, but one time I ate salad for a week. By day six, I felt like a new person. I felt great. Then I slipped back into back habits.

I am taking this summer to go raw again. Wish me luck.

So New to Raw
