HELP!!! I am lost!

[confusedks]

So I am interested in going raw 100%. I want to start out and just go 100%, because with my personality, it needs to be all or nothing or else I won't stick to it. My question is, I need help with just the basics. I have a dehydrator and a juicer and a blender (not a Vitamix because I want to see if I like this lifestyle before investing in one.) Are there sample menus anywhere? I just feel totally overwhelmed. Is there one book I can read that will give me the "jumpstart" to do this?? Thank you!

P.S. I would just start this today, but I need protein and am not sure I can have nuts. I want to be ready when I do start.

Thank you!!

Hi there! I know it can seem overwhelming but it'll be okay!

Well, as for that one book...can't recommend highly enough Alissa's book Living on Live Food. See here in this post WHY I (and many others) feel so strongly that this is THE book to get for starting out as well as those not-so-new to raw alike: http://rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=21157&

This book will tell you about protein (see this post for an excerpt FROM the book about protein: http://rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=3296, has a menu and more (which you'll see in the first link I directed you to).

I did a banana search for "sample menus" and this is what I came up with:

Pay close attention to the last thread. I hope this helps you:D.

I suggest purchasing Alissa Cohen's book, "Living on Live Food"

It helped me (and many others) get started on raw.
