Ready to Learn how to Live Again - Raw Food Chat

rawgirl8 · 02-07-2008

Hi, my name is Alisha and I am a newbie to raw foods. I started raw in 11/2007. And stopped because of the temptation of the holidays, my birthday and my anniversary. We usually plan lots of parties and I did not want to fail on raw. I recently started raw again and I am excited. I am ready to learn about raw food living. Anyone with book suggestions for me to read or tips to start, please let me know. I want to learn. I felt amazing the first time and can't wait to feel that way again. I thank God for leading me to Raw Foods.

I really like Dr. Cousens. Try "Spiritual Nutrition" or "Conscious Eating", there's just so much good stuff about enzymes; the effects of meat, dairy and cooked grains on our bodies; raw research; GMO foods; organic; combating radiation and heavy metals; etc.

Someone else recently asked the same question, so rather than repeat myself, here's the link:

Alisha,
Welcome to this site. This has been a great site for support. I read the 12 Steps to Raw Foods: How to End Your Addiction to Cooked Food by Victoria Boutenko. That was very good and she has some simple get started recipes. Also I recently picked up the Raw Truth-The Art of Preparing Living Foods by Jeremy Safron and have tried a couple of things, a couple of smoothies as those are easy to start with and tonight we are having raw gazpacho soup.

Hope that helps.
