New to RAW and need help

[mooosey]

Hello everyone,
I could probably not sound more TOOPID by asking this question lol
First let me say that i read lots in here and strongly believe that you are all on the right path with this way of eating.
Unfortunatley i all my life have ate all the foods from the money making bussiness out there...such as donuts,pizza and so on, that has not only made me fat but very tired and unhealthy.
I want to change my way of eating so bad...so that i can start to feel good again and look after myself better but O.K here comes the stupid ?
I dont know what all to eat I know of fruit,vegies and nuts lol thats it.
what else do you's eat?
Also what would be really great is to be able to chat with someone about this to get me started,I would so much appreciate this...unfortunatley i have vista windows and not able to use my yahoo messanger yet but i do have MSN
Thanks for reading and looking forward to your support.
Thank you in advance

Hi Mooosey,
Your question is very broad. It’s like asking, “Where should I go on vacation?” The answer really depends a lot on you. Are you on a budget? Do you have time to prepare complicated recipes? Is your family supportive? Are you trying to lose weight? What kinds of fresh raw food do you like?

You can live on green smoothies like I do, you can live on fresh fruit eaten out of hand, or you can create some really beautiful mouthwatering dishes from recipes posted in this forum. Tell us more about yourself and maybe we can help.

Welcome, Mooosey

Glad you found your way to Alissa Cohen's wonderful RawFoodTalk Forum.

Val is right, there are so many ways YOU can do this diet. You will find lots of recipes in the recipe ideas in the recipe section. I also Highly recommend
Alissa's incredibly informative Living on Live Foods Uncook Book and Her DVD.
Those two items would give you an amazing amount of ideas of how tasty and delicious raw food can be!

"The only stupid question is the one unasked."

If you have any specific questions, feel feel to post on the forum or to private message me.


Many of us have come from a similar (SAD)Standard American Diet, including Donuts, Pizza, French Fries, etc. And we know how hard at first changing to a raw food diet can be. But those of us here, also know that we have experienced the most benefits of any other diet we have ever tried. I know this is TRUE for me! Eating Live foods is not just another diet, it is like entering into higher level of energized living. The results of 100% raw can be transformational on many levels, not simply the physical.

So check out the recipes here or order Alissa's book, or just keep asking questions and reading on the forum. Use the Banana at the top to searchfor topics you are interested in!


Blessings on your raw food journey and may you find the strength to move toward your optimal health!

Welcome! No question is stupid - it's how we learn.
I would suggest getting Alissa's book - "Living on Live Foods". It is jammed packed with info, recipes - everything from bagels to pizza to cheezecake! And transition food recipes. It is awesome!
