Hi Ashley!

What is your motivation, your aim you want to achieve with raw food? Do you want

to start with 100% raw immediately?

What is your starting point? (your present nutrition)

Bread and crackers do not belong to raw food, as they are heated (even with a

higher temerature than cooked food ).

Cheese is mostly made from pasteurized (heated to ~80°C for a short time) milk.

Raw-milk-cheese exists, e.g. in shops for organic food.

 

Me, I am only part-time-raw-foodist ;-), and still in the stage of trial and

error. I like eating my food non-mixed (so: no mixed salads, no receipes),

because then your body tells you very well, when you had enough from this type

of food. If I´m not satisfied by then, I take another kind of food, and so on.

This way of eating was inspired by a book by Claude Burger on instinctotherapy.

Eating non-bred plants (so-called weed ;-)) also works very well for me. These

plants contain more minerals then highly-bred vegetables. This idea I found in a

book by Franz Konz.(Don´t know if it´s translated to English).

Youshould be careful with eating too many fruits, especially those with much

acid inside (non-ripe or citrus). When your teeth start becoming sensitive, you

should decrease their intake. (I read this and also experienced it.)

 

There are many different ways of eating raw, often contradicting each other. I

think the best way is to read different opinions, and try what works best for

you.

 

Greetings

Irene

[Raw Food] no i dea were to start.

 

 

 

hi everyone. Is there a site good for someone just starting . im

looking for a basic how to rather then info on the why its good for

you. For instance i dont even know how cheese is made so i dont know

if you can eat that. Is cooked the same as baked? So can you eat

bread and crackers? If dairy and grains are not recommended , what

should i put on my shopping list and what should i gut from the

fridge? How much more expensive is it if all i am buying are raw

things organiclly rather then processed from the grocery store? My

husband is leary becasue he figures our food costs will go up.

 

thanks AJ
