Newbie Intro with QUESTIONS

[Guest guest]

Hello, All. My name is Rose, I live in rural upstate New York with husband,

Fred, and our 4 cats. We eat and grow organically. I am in the process of

establishing a cutflower and vegetable farm on our 70-acre farm.

 

Currently, I am vegan and Fred's vegetarian. But I'm feeling more and more of a

" calling " toward raw food.

 

I had a salad the other day and it just brought it home. I felt so good, so

clear, clean, lighter, more energized.

 

I just need to know how to start.

 

QUESTIONS:

1. Good website for raw/live food?

2. Is there a difference betweet raw and live food?

3. How does one begin?

4. How do I achieve a balance in the diet?

 

Thanks,

 

Rose

Doug,

 

I agree on all points made. David Wolfe is the right starting point

though in his Sun Food Success Diet,

I would tend to skip the first 158 pages. That is unless you are

interested in his poetry etc.Then of course comes Frederic Patenaude's

Raw Secrets.

 

Keep up the fast. Sounds you are doing well and the benefits should

start streaming in.

 

Peter

Hi Rose;

David Wolf said; " The healing starts with the first bite of raw

food " . So you already have started. " Sunfood Diet Success System " by

David Wolf, is, in my opinion the best book for someone starting out

on raw. If I may quote him again; " The most important decision you

will make in your life, is what you put in your mouth at your next

meal. " As for web sites, click on our Links, on the left side of your

screen. " Is there a difference between raw and live food? " There can

be a lot of things have been heated during processing and are dead

foods, but they can still call them raw because they are not boiled

(watch out). Stone crushed extra virgin olive oil is not raw, even

though most people (even in health food stores) believe it is. Cooked

and dead oils cause age spots that we can see on our skin, but also

appear on our organs including our brains. I avoid all processed

oils. There is no such thing as raw honey for the same reason. Even

if you did find a bee hive to rob its not good for you, and has the

same effect on your body as sugar. For something sweet try to find

Stevia plants, read my message #1171 on Stevia. You can also buy

stevia powder in health food stores use sparingly its 40 times

sweeter than sugar. Don't worry about balance in your diet. You could

live a healthy life eating nothing but grass, cows do it. Cooked food

is an addiction, so be prepared for false cravings (Jonesing). Try to

balance, approximately by weight, green leafy vegetables, fruits, and

raw fats (avocadoes) to stave of these cravings. After you have been

raw for awhile start thinking about fasting. This can break the

addiction.

 

Peter, and all; I'm in my 4th day of a water fast and doing well. I

had my last meal on Thursday afternoon. I am going back to work

tomorrow and will see how my energy levels are. If I need to I will

just switch to a juice fast. I haven't been hungry at all. I guess

I'm pretty determined

 

Doug.
