I've been an omnivore most of my life (about 90%). A lot of my diet used to include McDonnalds, pizza, ice cream...junk basically. I tried to eat "healthy" (ie. no junk) and suceeded for quite a while.

My problem is I keep on trying to go from an omni diet to a raw vegan diet all at once. I want to be raw so bad but I can't resist certain temptations.

So here's my plan. Go vegetarian, then vegan, then raw vegan. I need to break it down. I've already ...

I don't know why I'm having such trouble staying raw. I've done it in the past but for some reason I am more addicted to cooked food than ever!

I'm going to take what I've learned these past 5 years of being raw on and off, and I'm going to put it to use.

1. I'm going to make "staples" which are used to help with transition. Mostly crackers and deserts. These will be the first things I make. ...

A few months ago I went raw. It feels like it was longer. I haven't been raw for a while now. I want to go back. I just feel so good when raw. I'm happy and healthy and able to handle stress better.

I have so many digestive issues and much to my doctors' surprise raw veggies are one of the few foods that don't cause digestive problems for me. My internist and gastrointerologist both said that if I want to be raw then it'll probably be a good thing (I brought it up).
