"12 Steps to Raw Foods: How to End Your Dependency on Cooked Food"

"Ani's Raw Food Kitchen: Easy, Delectable Living Foods Recipes"
Ani Phyo

I don't have a dehydrator or anything yet. I just have a blender right now. I am sure that will suffice for now.

This is my second go around on raw. Last year, I went from eating a SAD diet of processed foods and fast food and then transitioned into the Joel Furhman Eat to Live program. I ended up finding this site and went to about 80% raw (I would cheat on weekends). I could never fully get over my cravings because I was allowing myself to cheat once a week. It got so bad I went from 80% raw to Atkins! It was horrible! I ended up with painful zits or boils under my armpits that lasted the entire time and I felt awful. Plus I gained back about 10lbs. So I decided to get through the holidays and give it another go and started again with Eat to Live and now im back to raw again. This time no cheating once a week! Only thing I have that isn't raw is 1 cup unsweetened soy milk in my smoothie every day. Eating raw feels right to me. Yeah I miss chicken and fish sometimes and some SAD stuff but I want to be healthy and skinny!

Wow you really cleaned up! lol.

I have Alissa's book, but I'd also like to get Ani's and Green for Life.

Great choices and enjoy your raw delicacies!

Peace.

All those are really good - very insightful and great recipes.

I also found my library had more raw books than I ever imagined - good way to check out others you might consider for your 'Uncook' book collection.

Enjoy!
