Hello all you wonderful raw-fooders,

 

I have lurked here for almost a month overflowing with questions

and working up the courage to post something. I would love to be a

more active member of this forum and I guess this is the first

step. So, I might as well introduce myself: I recently turned 18

and completed a 45 day supervised juice " fast " that I had saved up

for for almost a year. I am not sure why I felt so strongly about

it, but it started me on a path from commited carnivore, through

vegetarian and vegan to my present state of over 90% raw food in

less than four months.

My family is shocked about my complete 180, my mother is also a

commited, cooked carnivore with many health problems, her boyfriend

is a gourmet Italian chef, my father is also was a line cook for ten

years and my poor 7 year-old sister has had her tastebuds so

completely destroyed from packaged, processed foods that she can

barely stand the taste of anything remotely raw. I find it kind of

sad to watch my family's health deteriorate while I know that I am

doing the best thing that I can to repair, heal and fuel my own

body. I have taken the advice of many articles, websites and forum

posts to not force anything on my family, but to live as an

example. My mother usually loves my raw dishes and enjoys seeing me

in the kitchen, whereas before my raw enlightenment I wouldn't set

foot anywhere near a food processor, but she says that raw food

makes her ill and refuses my explanation that it is detox and it is

actually a good sign. I have given up on the lectures and now just

ask that when we shop we buy extra fruits, veggies and nuts for me.

There is no more conflict and I we like it that way.

So, thank you for enduring my novella, and on to a question: I

have read so much information on the internet, everything from Ann

Wigmore to the Essene diet as well as a host of recipes and

supplement recommendations. I have seen so many recipe books and

that is the last thing that I am looking for. What I am after now

is a book about raw nutrition so that I can make-up my own mind

about how I want to eat. Does anybody know of a book like this,

that details the nutrient necessities of the human body without

trying to push supplements, recipies, diets or equipment? Has

research like this even been done yet? I would love any input.

I refuse to follow any of the recommendations from my college

Fitness and Nutrition class (taught by an exceedingly overweight

woman inspiring very little confidence in her curriculum).

Thank you all for the most enlightening and inspiring posts and a

supportive environment that has given me the confidence to ask a

question of my own.
