Starch?

holliemae22

I am a newbie to being raw. Infact I haven’t gone raw yet, just tryed two raw meals that both flopped : ( I am not giving up though. I decided that the best way to go would be to understand what foods do what. Who best to ask then thouse who have gone before? I was wondering what foods have starch? What foods are whole grain that you can eat raw?

I just heard that you need b12 and that it is only in meat? That can’t be true. Ok here is another question, would anyone mind sharing what are the staples in their diet?

It’s not just me, I have a husband and two children. 4 and 6.

I need a lot of help.

Ola Hollie!
I am also a mom to a (soon-to-be) 4 y.o little boy and a 6 y.o.little girl.

We are transitioning to raw and my advice is

1- follow their rhythm. Go slow and it will be for good.

2- give them fruit. kids are natural fruit eaters. first get them eating fruit for breakfast and snacks.

3- Take baby steps: Vegetarian, Vegan then Raw Vegan. Is your family already vegetarian? No, then go veg. Yes, then go Vegan with some Raw. Then mostly raw… and so on.

4 – You are not the only one who messed up on the first recipes: WE ALL DID!
So practice and do not feed the family messed up recipes, it just gives them an excuse to complain.

5 – Start cutting out industrialized and processed foods (slowly). Truth is, if you don

Thank you ale. It does help. We went vegiterian a few months ago. Then went vegan sometime after that. I discovered raw while looking for recipies that didn’t have gluten and sugar.

That said it has been rather fast. I didn’t think about the side effects.

Thanks for the book ideas skizzy

Zoe, Is there a way to get the plans for a homemade dehydrator?

Thanks you guys
