Guest guest Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi Everyone, I am relatively new to this list. I have just been lurking and learning what I can about the raw food diet (or should I say, " way of life " ?) It really seems like a great idea to me. Anyway, I was wondering if some of you could give an example of what you would eat on an average day. Also, I need some suggestions for books on the subject that have reliable information and maybe some very simple recipes as I absolutely hate to " cook " . I like my meals to be as simple as possible. Oh, and just for additional information, I have two medium-sized children to feed and a husband who would never agree to eat a meal without some kind of dead, rotting, animal flesh. Thanks so much for all of the great information I have gotten from this list so far. Calla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next mail, whenever I feel hungry will either be watermelon or nectarines. Elchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I was wondering if some of you could give an example of what you would eat on an average day. > Calla I had a small handful of walnuts, a few pieces of canteloupe, an apple w/some raw almond butter, and a large salad -- lettuce, carrots, zucchini, avocado, olives. Now I'm about to have a few pieces of watermelon. Some people would comment that it's too much fat and not good food combining. But I eat what feels good to me. I seem to have a very healthy constitution and don't get bothered by much of anything, except wheatgrass and we had that discussion a couple months ago.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi Calla! I'm pretty new myself. I've been doing a lot of reading online and tonight I went to the book store and pulled about 7 raw food books and thumbed through each of them. There is sooooo much info out there and everyone has an opinion. It might take a bit to figure out what works best for you. For myself, I'm learning that switching cold turkey - or shall I say tofu? - was not working for me. Also from what I've read, any possible detox symptoms seem to be milder or not as uncomfortable when you ease into it gradually instead of forcing yourself. I'm still trying to push myself slightly quicker than gradual though because otherwise I'll justify eating cooked foods and get used to them being ok. Plus I'd like to feel results sooner than later. Nature's First Law by David Wolfe seems to be a winner and on my list to buy. I'm also focusing on finding non-food writings that inspire me and help me deal with the emotional and spiritual side of this new process. For dinner I had... bruschetta, sliced avocado, romaine lettuce, open-faced on wheat bread w/ a dash of salt and pepper... now...the veggies weren't organic, I lightly toasted the wheat bread that had no sprouts, the bruschetta had some vinegar, and yes - everyone plug their ears - a dash of table salt and pepper. Its not 100% but its the best I could do with what I have and where I'm at. I'm in transition. I also like having corn cut from the cob, throw in some fresh cilantro, little bit of lime juice, apple pie spice, pepper, and a smidgel of honey. (I know it should be raw honey but I haven't found it here yet. I'm not in my home state and I can't find half of what I usually could.) Welcome and Best of Luck to you!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'd love to know other people's opinions on David Wolfe's books. I've been put off by his website - it's full of really expensive 'superfoods' that I can't imagine anyone actually needs. I remember reading an interview with him written some years ago, where he spoke strongly against spirulina, because it's dried and powerdered and he said he thought it harmful to consume anything that has been processed in anyway. Now though, he sells hemp protein powder, cacao powder, blue mangosteen extract powder, etc. which seems to directly contradict his earlier beliefs. Not that I'm entirely against these foods - I keep a pot of (poorly combined I know) trail mix at work with goji berries, sunflower seeds and cacao nibs to stave off any chocolate cravings I might get when people bring treats in. But I can't believe we NEED any of these things (same goes for the MSM he sells - see quackwatch: http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/msm.html). I wonder if he started off with admirable intentions, but realised you can't make much money from selling the raw diet itself, and branched off into these superfoods and supplements? What do you all think? (this doesn't necessarily mean that his book isn't of value, certainly I believe it was written before he started selling all these raw food products) --- Noelle Forestal <divadolce_rocks wrote: > Hi Calla! > > I'm pretty new myself.
