I know, I know, get Alissa's book. I'm going to, just haven't had a chance yet.

On Natalia Rose's plan, some raw cheese is ok, but she advocates some non-raw stuff as well. Is raw cheese...

Ooooh... but there are some great health food stores in Tribecca... and all over lower Manhattan. And you can get all your good stuff- juicer, food processer, blender and dehydrator- in the...

I'm not REALLY a New Yorker, but I lived there for several years, and more importantly, my gorgeous, healthy son was born there.

Welcome. One step at a time. Just like other unhealthy "staples"...

This isn't easy! You are to be commended for sticking with it.

I may not be a lot of help (but I'll listen, and you can go ahead and...

Judith, I'm with you! Also, your DH "gives you" the money to spend on food? Don't you contribute to the family too? Isn't your contribution worth something?

I'm NOT coming down on you- please...

I can't tell you what the rules are; I agree, consult the experts... however, while I won't say that I "must" drink, I sure do enjoy a glass of wine every now and then. It may keep me from being...

I knew nothing about fitness either- I was an INDOOR girl, eating a really poor diet, and it showed. I just looked at some old photos from college and I almost wept remembering how miserable I was....

Thanks, that's good advice! It seems so simple... if it doesn't make me feel good, I don't need to eat it. I have had the intuition it will take my body some time to adjust, and things that are not...

Who are some of the (good) names in raw foods to follow? What are your thoughts about Natalia Rose? Her book Raw Food Life Force Energy got me started on this... however she's not totally raw...

It is expensive... no question. I think this is a fairly revolutionary concept for most people now, much like organic was some years ago. Now it's becoming more mainstream, and slightly more...

I've been dabbling at this for the last several weeks, and I'm ready to take the plunge. This is a great site- thanks for all the ideas, encouragement and support! Here we go...!

My partner and I were watching a show about various diets (most of which were insane!) and they profiled the raw diet. I was immediately compelled to learn more, and the more I learn, the more it...
