new to raw.

[bigmarj1@yahoo.com]

I am new to raw(not always 100 % for 2 months).I have a mentally handicapped with autism and seizure disorder, son i would like to get on a raw diet,but he is real skinny already and can`t stand to lose any more weight. He will not eat alot of fruit at a time neither.How do I go about doing this without him losing weight?What do i feed him?

If he doesn't like fruit.....try NEW kinds of fruit...heh..heh. Also: try a wide variety of finely chopped salads....and top with nuts and/or avocados. Transition at a pace that is comfortable for your son. Success to you.

Hi there!

I have a son with autism also who has been 100% raw since April 1, 2007. Here's a link to the autism thread I started in the kids section.

He will not eat alot of fruitTry preparing the fruit differently and see if that helps. For example try giving him a banana smoothie instead of a banana.
