I am on day 58 of all raw and I have been evolving since day 1. I guess nothings written in stone because each of us is different and we all need to experiment to find what works for each one of us. Lately I have been finding myself wanting fruit for breakfast and that may be a good place to start and then just eat whatever you want and as much of it as you want so long as its raw. Good luck.

Buy Alissa's book. :)

[Riiiya]

you can eat all kinds of fruits (oh my and there are SO many, you'll be discovering more and more new ones as you go raw!) avocado is a fruit (isn't it?) and i couldn't have transitioned to raw without it!! it's fantastic
all kinds of vegetables (eating greens is important i think..for balancing out-esp. if you eat a lot of sugary fruits and nuts)
nuts and seeds (although most "raw" nuts you'll be able to buy are really not raw..but oh well we do the best we can
dried fruits (make sure they're sun-dried)

you can make amazing salads (today on campus i simply had shredded red cabbage with raisings and sunflower seeds in curry dressing (olive oil, curry powder, apple, salt, ginger) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

hope this helps a little bit

thank you so so so much everyone xx

i just had my 1st one (green smoothie) and i am clearly doing something wrong... as it wasnt very good.two bananas, a punnet of strawberries, ice and a packet of rocket...served about 4 (i had two)i have a blood sugar hit going on already
how can you do 60/40% by weight when rocket is so much lighter than banana and strawberries for example???
i am going for it and already having a hit from the fruit...nasty...dizziness... sudden onset of anxiety symptoms...hope its not just me...and that someone can help....wonder what can be done about that xx
this problem is partly what stopped me last time i went raw, i felt so unwell throughout the diet cos of the blood sugar thing...i have done everything right so far and feel grim xx
