I try to be a healthy, balanced omnivore everyday of my life. I’ve had an interest in going raw for a while and finally, I’ve started to do so. I’m pretty much live bait on the subject though and would really appreciate any tips or pointers from the rest of you rawers.
One question I had was I was told there are alot of raw mommies out here. That being so, I had a question. I’ve started to go raw, I’m making the transition slowly. I am also trying to get pregnant. A friend of mine told me that going raw while trying to conceive might be counter-productive.
How safe is it to go raw while trying to get pregnant? I’m concerned because I eat raw steak as well as raw veggies and fruit.

I think Natalia Rose has a great program for transitioning as an omnivore. Her book has recipies that incl flesh-based meals and her basic rule of thumb is to focus on quick exiting food, so while she does not advocating for eating meat, she states if you do so to combine with vegetables and avoid starches. In her book the raw food detox diet you can rate your own level and start the transition accordingly. I still eat meat myself am transitioning slowly. My meat comes from a farm directly (and sometimes from hunters), but I certainly notice a slow down of my eliminations when I eat it, even following natalia's guidelines. I will eventually eliminate it altogether, most likely, but for now I am working on reducing hte # of times per week and starting from there. So start where you are and go slowly...
I just realized this was posted ages ago. Did you ever get preggers or still TTC?
