    Start with green smoothies and then experiment! Find highly-rated recipes on here that look yum and give them a try, even in combination with your cooked food - for example, my favourite transition food was Rich Cheddar Cheese with Spicy Walnut Taco Meat, lettuce and salsa on a hot, non-raw taco shell.

    Be prepared to begin your idea of food preparation all over again. I went from being a highly accomplished vegan cook to feeling like I was six years old again, struggling to decipher cookbooks and trying flavour combinations that just didn't work :) The plus side is that a whole new world of food has opened up to me, when it was starting to feel pretty small and starchy...

    Good luck, stay strong, never hesitate to ask for help, support or clarification!

    Hi, I have been 80% raw for the last 1.5 month. 6 month ago I have lasted 4 month 100 % raw. My observation from the previous experience - I had way too much nuts (and deserts) - and I did not feel that great... Plus I gained weight (though hoped to lose some) Now I go easy with nuts and deserts and feel much more energy. I still have cooked buckwheat or quinoa now and then,,,
