Hello!!!

Hi I'm Melinda, 31, from Nederland, TX. I've been thinking about going raw for around 2 yrs and I've finally done it. Well mostly...I'm struggling with having my whole family on cooked food and I'm the only one on raw. I've been reading here and really like the forum.

It can really be tough when others around you are eating cooked food. Of cooked food, I really miss hummus and falafel - but raw is so totally worth it.

Welcome!

Hello Melinda,

Can you share some of your raw recipes with your family? They can still have some of their normal cooked stuff but also some of your raw stuff :)

I can't even get them to try a Larabar much less anything I make. I'm pretty simple...mainly green smoothies and just fruits and veggies...nothing dehydrated or anything yet.

Just keep it up. Don't even offer them any of your food to try. They might feel pressuresd. You'll see they'll turn around soon and ask you for it!
As far as the cooked food cravings...they will pass. The longer you're on 100% raw the less you'll feel like eating them! Good luck! :)
