A Great Collection of Vegan Recipes and More
I am going to start eating raw foods. Any advice, recipes, how to start?
Question:Hi everyone, within the last few weeks I have been researching natural cures, detoxing, and raw foods. From what I have seen it is an extremely healthy way to live. I am going to “ween” myself off cooked foods and am looking for a good way to start into raw foods. As well as recipes I could try. I am going to try to start off with some simple ones.
Thank you very much!

I wanted to go raw as well, So, I started with a 21 day vegan detox. I just completed it. I took it right down to the basics in 6 meals/day (which is what I do anyway). I ate the same 6 meals/week! So, there were 3 meal plans for the 3 weeks. I balanced my daily protiens, carbs-(somewhat difficult for me), fats and fiber! Drink a lot of water (1 oz./lb) and only pure coffee or tea (if necessary)! I made it with water only for the 3 weeks and love it! If you want fruit juice… Eat it! So, you get the fiber from the fruit. And removed any added flavorings, sauces, and bloating foods from your meal such as: stevia, sea salt, soy sauce, broccoli, etc. (No condiments) I used lemon on my salads. It is good for your body to digest warm food so steam a lot of your veggies! And, be sure to have at least 2 vegetables for lunch as well as, for dinner. Then, include a salad of mixed greens for every dinner! Good luck!

Raw foods are very good for you, but eating some cooked foods is also very healthy. What is it you are trying to cure? Certain foods, whether cooked or raw, are not good for certain diseases. Fruit and vegie salads with seeds and nuts are my favorite raw foods that are part of a balanced diet (carbs, protein, vits & minerals). Don’t forget a good source of calcium and protein if you go raw.
