Where do I begin?

JCTVCBNJCTVCBN
in New to Raw

I am very new to all of this, so I have a lot to learn.

Can anyone tell me where to begin.

What are some of the things that are a must?

Which are the best cheapest products?

Where can I find them?

And how do I get my boys (2 and 9 yrs old) to try the new foods?

Thanks

    I would also like to know where to start.

    Thanks twitch for the sites. I do love to read.

    I want to make healthy recipes because my 9 yr old has very bad eczema, and he is on a strict diet.

    So far he's been eating lots of lettuce, superfood fruit smoothies, apples, bananas, grapes.

    He can have chicken and beans, but he can't have rice, pasta, pancakes, eggs or dairy.

    He's wellness consultant is the one who told me about this site.

    Also, my 2 year old has tooth decay.

    I am transitioning to be strictly raw and I am a vegetarian already. I have started by green juice in the mornings. I really want to get off dairy but I am having a very hard time especially since my son and husband eat and drink dairy products daily. Does anyone have any tips on how I can wean myself off of the dairy products? I desperately want to do this.

    Great! I have tried rice milk before are they about the same? what do you do to cut out eggs and cheese?

    hey everyone! i am a new raw foodie too. just went 100% raw a week ago and feeling good. how do you all feel about protein? i used to eat beans and rice but now i am not sure what to eat that replaces that (or does it need replacing?)... i still haven't gotten to like the taste of sprouted beans! do you supplement with a protein powder or is it OK without? also i find that i am sooo thirsty especially after eating my fruit smoothie for breakfast, i drink tons of water now. i thought the fruit would make me less thirsty?? any thoughts? thanks!

    Hi, JCTVCBN ,

    Welcome to goneraw. In my experience, a fairly decent blender is the most important appliance to have. It's good for smoothies and soups, and if you get one with a grinder attachment, you can make yummy spreads and dips as well.

    The cheapest way for me to eat is to make bananas and locally grown greens my staples and supplement with seasonal fruit. (I do also buy raw nuts from the internet, and that can get a bit pricey, but I think it's a good investment in health. Also olive oil- expensive but I feel, important.) I haven't had really good luck with sprouting grains, but I think that would make a good addition- I just haven't found the right grain for sprouting for me yet. I highly recommend sprouted lentils and mung beans- both yummy and full of protien, and super easy to sprout.

    I don't have kids, but I read one post about leading by example and having plenty of fresh produce around, cut up or in a user friendly form, and make it available, without any high pressure. Sort let them sneak into your fruit stash, if you know what I mean. Also offering 2 or 3 healthy choices, so they have a sense of control over what they're eating, but actually you have the control because all the choices are healthy.

    Well, hope that helps.

    wishing you the best,

    -osoniye

    Thank you so much for these sites! I am relatively new to Raw and I have been reading about it for a few months now. I checked them out, and these sites are great additions to give me the confidence and support I need to start living raw. With a house full of meat-and-potato eaters, I have my work cut out for me. Thanks again!!
