by Natalia Rose. This was the only Raw food book our hospital library had and our public library had 1 that apparently has been checked out for the last 8 months because that's how long I've been waiting for the call that it's been returned.
Has anyone else read this book? I like it for a number of reasons, but I wondered what you all thought about something. You take a short quiz to get your transition number. This number tells you how to make the best transition into a 100% raw diet. For example; if you smoke, weigh 400 lbs, have only eaten chemicals your whole life (etc.etc.) and then instantly switch to a 100% raw food diet, your body is basically going to freak out and your going to have really horrible detox symptoms and your body can't get rid of the toxins fast enough, so (something about) storing these toxins in your body making your toxicity even worse. (I think that was the gist of it). Anyway, on a scale of 1-5 (1 being totally raw, 5 being dude, just eat a carrot....PLEASE!, I came out at a 3...meaning I should be eating raw foods all day until dinner, at which point I should eat something cooked (like brown rice and lightly steamed veggies).
Do you guys think if I follow her "rules" I would bypass extreme detox symptoms or have them anyway. I'm at home 24/7 with two babies by myself and frankly do not have "time" or "energy" for bad headaches/nausea or whatever else gets thrown at me. I'd like to just go 100% Raw, but stories of detox freak me the heck out. I've had to put off my start date because I've had no food in the house, but I went shopping today and am ready to start tomorrow!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
