Getting Started on the Raw Foods Diet
Congratulations! You've decided to try The Raw Way. . . Now what?
This is more than a diet for many people; it's a way of life. Because of that, you'll need to think about food--and food preparation--differently. So, before you start a raw foods plan, consider the equipment, planning, shopping, and preparation that will be involved in this new way of eating.
What helped you during the transition to this diet? Share tips on how to get started.
- Develop an eating plan: Gather recipes for the week; search through cookbooks and websites for ideas.
- As with any diet, the key to staying the course is shopping well. Stock your kitchen regularly – at least once a week -- with enough fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts to take you through the week.
- Plan a day in advance for items that need to be sprouted or soaked overnight including grains and some nuts, depending on the recipe.
- Invest in some quality equipment that will make preparation faster and more convenient

I want to share something here. I learn chemistry for a long time, about five years. So I’m used to watching everything around me everyday. I found everything is chemistry. Our clothes, foods, houses, cars, and even our bodies are made of chemicals. The simplest example is [url=http://www.lookchem.com/WATER/]water [/url]which we use most widely and essentially. I have travelled to many cities which have some beautiful views. But some views I like best were always with water, such as seas, lakes, waterfalls, streamlets, and so on. If there was no water, the views would lack some meaningful things. Water gives me so much fun in my life. Chemicals were not always toxic; some of them would give us fun in our life.

it tends to be that when your diet changes, physiologically there will be changes but keep going as this will resolve itself and you will start cleansing soon, Increase grapes as they are very cleansing and add a little psyllium or dieters tea will help
Do you find this valuable?

So i started this diet on Monday and its friday now...so far so good. I am amazed at how much energy i have. i noticed just in 2 days a difference. i dont even have any cravings for chocolate at all which i used to have every single day!! I am very confused on one thing....i would like to lose 5-10 lbs. This week, according to the scale, i have GAINED 5 lbs!! i'm mainly just very very bloated. is this Water weight? should i be worried i am consuming TOO many fruits, veggies, nuts...and this could make me gain? is this possible? thanks to any who will share their thoughts...much appreciated...Kitty
