If you're thinking about adopting a
healthier diet than the one you're eating
now, you may have thought about starting
a raw food diet. Maybe you're eating the
standard American cooked food diet or
maybe it's a fairly healthy diet but
you'd like to eat even healthier. Maybe
the hard part is knowing just how to
start a raw food diet or what to eat. In
any case you'll be healthier by
incorporating more living or raw foods
into your diet.
One of the best ways to start out is just
by slowly adding fruits and vegetables to
your current diet. You can add three or
four fruits to your breakfast meal and/or
have an all-fruit smoothie. Your smoothie
can be an all fresh fruit combination of
fresh and frozen. Although fresh is best.
You can use 2 bananas for a base and add
to it. For lunch you can have a small
salad or cole slaw and more fruit along
with what you would normally have.
In any case you want to eat all your raw
food first so you don't leave much room
for other foods that are cooked. The raw
food will be better for you. You'll find
you start craving certain fruits and
vegetables after eating them for awhile.
For dinner you can have a huge, I mean
enormous salad. Use red leaf lettuce,
green leaf lettuce, romaine, spring mix
or spinach leaves as a base then add a
cut up tomato and avocado and any other
vegetables you like. Eat this first
before any of your dinner food. This is
my main course at dinner time. I usually
don't have room for much else and if I do
I still only have raw fruit or other raw
foods.
For snacks in between meals you can have
any kind of fruit, fruit smoothies, green
smoothies, green juice or carrot juice,
raw nuts or raw desserts of which there
are many you can make easily.
Of course these are just a few ideas.
There are lots of raw fruits, vegetables,
nuts and seeds to choose from and
hundreds of raw food recipes you can
make.
The most important thing is to just
start. It does not have to be complicated
and you don't have to follow a raw food
diet plan or program. There is no right
or wrong way. There are dozens of way to
eat a vegan, raw food diet.

There is nothing to buy except the food
you want to eat, no supplements to take.
Just good healthy food that provides
hundreds of vitamins, minerals, enzymes
and phytonutrients all ready to go to
work boosting your immune system to fight
off anything that might come along. It's
a natural detox diet and natural colon
cleanse too. No need to buy expensive
colon cleanses. I've been eating a 100%
raw food diet for many years. I cured my
breast cancer, fibromyalgia, arthritis,
irritable bowel syndrome and all my other
ailments.
