  • try to eat lots of raw veggies, and I would include green juice as well, if possible. Without a lot of protein and starch, you lose weight quickly. Also minimize dehydrated foods, etc. I agree with Zoe, balance is the key. Try to go with what your b…

  • I’m not terribly well informed on the ratios that you’re “supposed” to have. However, Omega fats are very important to helping our bodies function at the optimum level. You get Omega 3 from flaxseeds, hemp nuts, pumkin seeds, walnuts, sesame seeds, …
  • I know what you mean about being frustrated.Just try to keep in mind that the reason that you’re taking on a raw diet (presumably) is for health and happiness. Don’t get too wrapped up in any little thing. Just listen to what your body needs and be …

  • Thanks so much Zoe. I think you’re right about the greens. My trouble is that I’m small, and can’t be losing weight. I had an eating disorder about a year ago, and raw foods have really given me a great feeling of freedom. Plus, everything tastes so…
  • Thanks everyone! This was really helpful. Even though I’m new to raw, I’m actually pretty close to being 100%... I just have to make sure my diet stays balanced. Any tips anyone has in that area would also be very helpful. Thanks again!
  • I’m in Atlanta, but going to Maine in the fall. Atlanta is supposed to have a fairly large raw community, but I haven’t met anyone yet. :-)
