Nutrition Concerns

Girlfridae1

Hi Everyone-

I have been learning about eating raw and started today—so far so good! My question is this—are there any special nutrition concerns for people who follow this type of eating lifestyle? I have a great book called, Becoming Vegetarian, that I used when I became an ovo-vegetarian. I just want to make sure I stay healthy and get all my nutrients and protein and stuff.

Thanks for any advice/help/etc.

Cheers- Amy

Thanks ardesmond/pianissima! I guess if I consider that cooked food was ‘dead’ food than really eating raw is better nutritionally—I never thought of that way! Well for breakfast I have this drink I saw on Oprah called ‘Dr. Oz’s Green Drink’ which is basically spinach, apple, ginger, parsely, lemon and lime and I add a teaspoon of raw cocunut oil as I heard it’s excellent for those who suffer with hypothyroidism (which is me) and I feel so incredibly energetic.

Thanks again for taking the time to answer my post (I’m sure it’s a reoccuring one around here…)

Thanks Winona for the kind words. I am really loving this new way of eating and am feeling super positive about the effects it will have.

See ya around the forums:)
