Guest guest Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I've got a 'must read' book, IMO, if you're trying to loose weight and are on a vegan diet (which is the best diet to be on; and raw is even better). It is called Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. See if you can check it out of the library if you're not sure you want to buy it, but it is excellent! In my first 3 days I lost 5 pounds and was never hungry! I ate a LOT, including ice cream each day until it was gone (I am SO glad it's gone now)! I still lost because, other than the ice cream, I followed a vegan (mostly raw) diet very strictly, and " the more you eat, the more you lose " . Obviously, ice cream is not good for you and is not part of the diet, but I'm just now changing my lifestyle to vegan too. Old habits (food addictions) are hard to break. There are also some great recipes in the back of the book. He gives you a 7-day menu to follow and the recipes to go with them. Also remember that by following a mostly raw vegan diet, you will not get much fat, but the fat that you do get is the 'good' fat. So, don't worry if you eat a few too many nuts, seeds, or avocados, just don't do it all the time! LOL As far as other recipes, if you are online very much, there are lots of sites that you can get free recipes from. I guess you could just look over each recipe and decide for yourself if it is 'simple' or not. I prefer simple, quick and easy too, so we do a lot of fresh fruit eaten whole, salads and juicing. Here's some web sites to explore, but I can't remember which ones have recipes and which ones don't. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi! I'll add a little head nod here too...raw is the easy and enlivening way to go. I am no longer 100% as I was 3-4 yrs ago when I began- but still mostly raw and really love it. It is a naturally abundant, intuitive cleansing and energizing lifestyle. It does take some getting used to though ;-) I've never seen an overweight raw foodist...and I sometimes eat 5 avocados in a day- tons of raw nuts (sprouted), coconut butter..etc...makes my skin soft but I gain no weight to speak of. It's so much harder to keep a healthy weight on cooked foods. imo. They are addictive. Raw foods get you in touch w/ hunger and fullness...it's a much more " present " experience.
