    It is the best $30 you could spend on raw food information...better than any book you could get on the subject.

    Its not for everybody. Some people simply cannot digest raw foods.

    Oh wow. We're working on adding more raw foods to our diet (not transitioning, just more) and I have the greatest cookbook :) See if your library has a copy of "Living in the Raw" by Rose Lee Calabro. The recipes are awesome, and there are HUNDREDS of them! One thing she recommends for transitioning is using the dehydrator.
    love,
    mom

    Thanx everyone loads for the advice and things:) Ive already begun slowly introducing lots of raw stuff into the diet. I think im about 70-80 percent raw at the moment. We make meals that are half raw half cooked, then for the rest of the day i eat fruits, nuts and raw veggies...To begin with it was odd, and i may still be one of those people who cant digest raw food properly, who knows. BUT i must say my diabetes symptoms are WAY, way down since the change, and i have more energy! YAY!

    I realise i lot of research shoul dbe done before going totally raw, and to be honest im not sure ill ever get there, but my target is to rest at about 80 percent raw for the next few months and see where it leads

    Willy_wonka, thats really cool! You should get back to me when you begin, some help and support for eachother would be really really good

    Thanx for the links too people, im just going to follow them now!

    :)

    Hey Verseau! Those bunnies are so cute together! =)

    How are raw foods going for you?? You know there is a new raw food program that was just released recently by David Wolfe, and he is who basically help inspired me to actually stick to a healthy high raw diet, and also to keep a positive attitude about life and a lot of other things.... so I thought I would pass this on if anyone here is really interested in learning more about raw food - http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=650623

    Congratulations on going raw! I'm a vegan raw-foodist as well. How has the raw lifestyle been working out for you?

    Hi! I am 100% raw after eating sad..standart american diet. For some, the transition is seamless and for others difficukt. learn everything you can and know what your getting into, and most of ALL listen to your body. Love

    I also feel myself transitioning into raw. I think it further absolves one's soul of corporate-reliance karma.

    care to elaborate on that?
    Cooking vegan has no animal abuse.
