I get my coconut milk direct from the coconut. It saves me from having to hunt down information on the company to see if it's actually raw  

Aw. It will become second nature after a while. You just need to accumulate a pile of reliable and favorite recipes. Hang in there!

Hi Isaline. Congrats on starting your journey! 

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. 

 Hi and welcome!

Have you tried looking through the member recipes? I know I've seen a few that might work out.

 I just joined this forum so my answer's a little late . . . but wanted to give my two cents!  I started out being raw and was raw for three years.  Best and easiest way of eating and losing/maintaining my weight ever!  For whatever reason I decided to try regular cooked vegan and struggled with appetite control and weight gain for the next two years.  Needless to say, I came back to raw!  The reason I love raw is because I don't feel tortured by food, i.e., lack of control over appetite and also feeling sluggish and battling cravings for all manner of food.  Has anyone else experienced this with a regular cooked vegan diet?

No other way of eating allows me this kind of freedom except raw.

I would love to hear how your raw food journey is going, now that's it's been a couple of months. 

 Welcome to the forum! 

I agree about the sluggishness when eating cooked food, especially if it is fried (which I used to eat way too much of).
