Raw transition

With all my researching about becoming a raw foodist I have taken in a heap of info but only found that the more info the more confused I have become. I feel like it's just to much effort to do with 2 kids and being a stay at home mum and to I think I have to cook for the household. The biggest thing is I love eating out (not that we do it enough) so imagine going to a restaurant or maybe a BBQ and someone asks "Kym would you like a sausage" "Oh no thanks I'll just have a salad and by the way it's all raw isn't it?". So I have researched the web and written out a bit of a plan with the help of the Raw diva's and I have made it very easy on myself. I have also come to the conclusion if I do go out I will eat what I feel like. The amount of time I go out a year you could probably count on one hand. I have no doubt that after a while I will feel that sensational it will not bother me to say "give me the lettuce and that coconut over there please so do you have a straw?"

KYM'S TIPS TO AN EASY TRANSITION

FOODS YOU CAN EAT

Fruit

Vegies

Greens (this is the big kahuna of the raw diet) add these leafy green to your next grocery shop. Bok choy, fennel, mustard greens, lettuce, beet greens, parsley ,spinach, watercress etc

Sprouts (excellent source of energy,nutrients and fibre) just sprinkle on a salad

sunflower, lentil, mung bean, alfalfa, broccoli, pea shoots etc

Fresh herbs mint, dill, coriander, oregano, rosemary etc

Nuts and Seeds This is our indulgences (indulgence I hear you say, that's the treat some nuts and seeds) When you stop eating cooked foods it's very easy to overeat on nuts as they replace the oils from the cooked foods. So go easy on these as they will leave you feeling heavy and less

energetic.

Water Water will be your best mate whilst doing the detox. When every you feel hungry just drink some water wait 15 minutes and the hunger should subside. You probably won't need to drink as much water because of all the juice you will be drinking.

Salt No salt, vinegar or other condiments the Diva's say that if you can avoid not have salt and other toxins you will notice the biggest difference. (i love salt gawd) By avoiding salt alone your energy will increase and it will make the entire process easier.
