HI,

I am glad to find a forum where I can get some guidance on this decision.

I tried to go raw before but I did not succeed (it was eighty percent ) raw and 20 percent or so cooked tho I felt great on it. The reason I didn't succeed was because I didn't have support and didn't really understand how to make recipes that were interesting and variety.

Where do u buy some of these ingredients? agave, what's that. everytime I look @ recipes they look wonderful except I don't understand what some of the ingredients are and where you would buy them.

I hope this isn't a silly question.

I live outside the city of Ottawa but I know thre must be places in the city where I can shop where i can have a good variety of these essentials. also what is cacao.

I have a juicer and have been juicing greens, fruit and making smoothies and salads, fruit salads for a couple weeks and am doing wonderful but I am afraid that down the road I am going to fail for lack of variety.

Thanks for any help towards the steps I am taking.

Ruth

    Thanks AVL,

    How long have you been raw? How did you first implement it, did u find you struggled to find variety or did you have others you knew perhaps who were raw that were able to coach you along?

    Thank you so much for your reply. I am so glad that you have been able to work through adjusting and adapting to raw food the way that it has succeeded for you.

    Thanks for sharing those details with me. It is helpful to me . I followed the link you suggested and I think there is a meetup on the 31st of this month so that is encouraging. I will peruse this website as well and gain the valuable insight and help that is available here (what a blessing!) thanks very much AVL and all the best ot you , continued success .

    Hi

    I too am from Ontario (downtown Toronto) It's funny to see you on here AVL as I follow you on Twitter! As far as produce goes have you ever considered a co-op? Co-ops are great ways to get organic fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, agave, cacao etc. In Toronto there is Karma Co-op where I am a member and love it. I googled co-ops in ottawa and it seems you have the Ottawa Valley Food Co-op

    You might want to check them out!

    I wish you the best of luck!
