I am thinking of going raw, or at least attempting – and I was wondering if anyone knows any recipes or has any resources for information on going raw. I don’t like to "cook" and everything I see is very heavy on preparing elaborate foods and it seems as if you need to be a little more experienced with cooking.
I also don’t have a ton of money, and it seems as if going raw is better for people with a little extra money/time to frequently go grocery shopping. What are your experiences?
Hi! My fiance and I want to try a raw food diet. We aren’t looking at permanently become vegan or vegetarian, but we do want to experiences a raw food diet. We are both graduates from culinary school, and both very passionate about food. I think that raw food is a growing part of our society, and as such we should have a working understanding of raw foods. I have been doing quite a bit of research, but I want to hear opinions from people who actually live this way. How long would be a reasonable amount of time to try a raw food diet for? Can you give me an example of what you might eat in a normal day? Is transitioning to a raw food diet difficult/expensive? What difference has it made in your life? Any and all experiences you would like to share would be great!! Thank you so much for your help.
I will be getting a small breed dog soon and I have been doing some research on dog foods. I would like to do the "home cooked" or "raw" food diet but I would like some more information on this.
-what are some recipes?
-can this be frozen to be used later(could I make all the meals for the week and freeze them)?
-how much does this cost?
-how much time does this take per day?
-How much should I feed the dog (also include how many times a day I should feed…keep in mind it is a small dog I would be cooking for)
-Would a raw food diet be better? (reasons why/recipes for this)…I would imagine that uncooked chicken would be bad…?( i know dogs are animals but they’re also domesticated)
I’ve looked into different kibbles and decided that Blue Buffalo would probably be best as it seems healthy, had good reviews, and is available at my local pet store…but I’m unsure of this as I would imagine that the raw/home cooked diet would be best
So a few questions I have about this are…
-would it be good to mix both the blue buffalo and the home cooked diet together (how much should I give of each)?
-If I was unable to give the home cooked meal would the Blue buffalo be ok for the week?
-what are your experiences with Blue buffalo (for small breeds)?
I want to feed what’s best for my dog but I also cannot afford to spend 60 dollars on a bag of dog food that will last me a month. (I did the math and blue buffalo should last me around 2.5 months for 30 dollars….plus I can get a discount on the food)
Please let me know your experiences for both and help me make the right choice for my dog
I wanted to try to do the one-week raw food diet. I heard it’s supposed to clean your system and help you loose most of the extra weight you have laying around.
I’ve been trying to find a website that will tell you what to do for each day- because other one-week diets i heard you follow a meal plan day by day
for example:
day one, eat this, this and this
day two, eat this, this and this
etc, etc, etc.
If there isn’t such thing for the one week raw diet, anyone have any suggestions? experiences?
Also, I don’t eat meat- so please no suggestions to eat raw fish or anything
ANYTHING will be helpful!
thank you!
peace and much love

I’m doing a 5 day fast of nothing but water and green tea, and then after I’ll only have raw fruits and veggies with roasted unsalted nuts, green tea and fresh fruit and veg juice. Has anyone else done this diet? From what I’ve read it’s healthy, fast, and something I can do potentially for the rest of my life, and I’m not looking to get talked out of it. I just want to hear other peoples experiences with it. Also, I know I’m going to cheat by allowing coffee with non-dairy creamer and Stevia (or Splenda), will this totally throw things out of whack? I know at least initially, I’m going to need my coffee, it’s my one concession. Thanks.
I won’t be having the coffee coffee during the fast.
I’m doing some research on the subject and would love to have input. Recipes, experiences, rants… whatever!
