The Raw food diet??..

My biggest tip is get a good recipe book or two or three! There are some delicious meals you can make. It just takes time and research but you will find what you like. I love raw foods, but it's not a lifestyle for me. I just incorporate dishes here and there. The nutritional benefits are so much higher than cooked or processed foods.

Here is a quote from The Garden of Eden Raw Fruit and Vegetable Recipes by Phyllis Avery "Man's physical and mental problems began when his diet changed from raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds to cooked vegetables, flesh, and grains. A vast quantity of existing evidence shows that a predominantly raw diet can reverse bodily degeneration which accompanies long term illness, retard the rate at which you age, lower your cholesterol, produce natural weight loss, rid the body of toxins, produce clearer thinking, and reduce your normal amount of sleep. Raw food increases your energy because much less energy is wasted eliminating the toxins developed in cooked foods.

Another big thing I've learned is that foods properly combined streamline digestion, promote weight loss, and energize and strengthen your entire body. Fruits should be eaten alone as a meal, not in combination with vegetables or proteins, on an empty stomach. You should wait 1-2 hours before eating other foods. Melons are best eaten without other fruits. Avocados are best combined with low starchy vegetables or acid fruits. Tomatoes may be combined with low starchy vegetables and either nuts or avacados. Eat only one protein food at a meal. Fats inhibit the digestion of protein. Liquids should not be drank with or immediately following a meal (it dilutes your digestive fluids).

I hope this was somewhat helpful. Good luck on the journey!
