Hey Everyone!

[Leslieirene]

Just thought I would say Hi.
This is my first day raw, though not 100%. I heard it was best to ease into it so Sunday I plan on going 100%. I see alot of people from the Pacific Northwest, I'm from Portland. Anyways, any advice would be much appreciated.

Welcome! I'm new to this board as well. I'm slowly easing into raw foods. Some days 100% but most days less than that. I probably don't have any advice to give since I'm new too. But it's nice to know that we're not alone. Even though we live far from each other (I'm in So. Cal) that we're connected in spirit and in mission: healthier life via raw foods. Blessings,
Kristi

HEY!!!!


There is a wealth of knowlege here ,if you are asking for something in particular try "searching" for it (press the banana)

One thing that I am a BIG advocate of is phyto-nutrients ,they are the pigments in fruits and veggies -they are great for your body ...like red ,green, yellow ,and the elusive blue/purple!!!

I would try to get different colors of fuits and veggies in also

like red (strawberries,tomatos,razberries,watermelon,apples ect...);

PURPLE (VERY GOOD FOR YOU) from blueberries,dark grapes,blackberries,beets/ juice, cabbage

green - apples,leafy greens,cucumbers,green grapes ,melons

orange-oranges,carrots,cantalope,nectarines,peaches,mango s,yams and sweet potatoes

yellow/white - squash ,bananas,cauliflower,jicama, turnips,corn,rutabegas (this group isnt as important as the ones above)
