Raw Food How-To
Here is a quick "raw food how to" summary for changing your diet to one that consists of mostly raw, living foods.
The best way to changeover to a healthy raw diet and lifestyle is to re-educate your thinking.
In the beginning, you'll have to remind yourself on a daily basis regarding the food facts we've discussed.
Eating healthy will become even easier when you begin feeling better and receive positive results back from health tests conducted by your physicians.
In other words, you should start seeing results and benefiting physically.
When that happens your motivation to continue will grow.
One good way to begin is to clear out your refrigerator, freezer and pantry.
Remove meats, dairy items and processed foods.
Replace them with fresh fruits, vegetables, dried beans, lentils, brown rice, nuts and legumes, etc.
The next thing you'll want to do is buy some good raw food and vegan recipe books.
Most are inexpensive.
Eating healthy can taste very good and be very rewarding to your palate.
Your new diet never has to be bland or boring.
As a matter of fact, when you stop using standard table salt and white sugar as additives to your food you'll probably begin to "taste" the things you're eating in a whole new way.
If necessary, seek out a professional vegan food specialist and take part in some food preparation classes.
It'll be fun.
You'll also learn many exciting ways to prepare raw foods and cooked vegetables.
You can make healthy eating an adventure to last a lifetime.
Most cravings for old unhealthy foods should disappear after time.
Your appetite and desire for healthy foods should eventually replace unhealthy ones.
There is no better way to eat for vibrant health and healing.
You won't have to count calories, buy expensive pre-packaged meals, or follow complicated formulas.
Before you know it, eating a disease-fighting living foods diet will be a natural part of your life.
When you go to a party or other social gathering take your own pre-prepared food with you.
If you know there will be a salad you can eat at your destination then all the better.
But whether that's the case or not, you can always bring small containers of your own pre-prepared foods.
Tell your hosts you are on a special diet for health reasons and say nothing more.
I'm not suggesting that you be rude, but in the long run it really doesn't matter what anyone thinks about your eating habits.
It's your health you're fighting for ...
not theirs.
I would tell anyone to consult with his or her doctor first before doing any diet change.
Just once have I ever heard from somebody who said their doctor advised them to stay away from eating raw vegetables because it would be "too hard on their bleeding colon.
" I suggested they ask their physician if they could juice raw vegetables for the time being instead.
That would be one way they could begin their journey.
With these things in mind I encourage you to try out this "living foods lifestyle" for at least 30 days.
See for yourself if you don't feel amazingly better.
See if you don't have more energy and experience other marvels in your body.
