I was reading and have watched some tv coverage on the raw food diet and was intrigued for many reasons. I def want to give it a good try and since it is summer, i figured what better time to have easy access to fresh fruits and veggies.If there are any raw food dieters please share some tips, food ideas, maybe a basic shopping list, what to DEF stay away from (dairy? cheese? milk?) symptoms to expect, etc.

first off, I’m already a vegetarian. I’ve been a vegetarian for three years now, going back and forth to veganism. I’ve been studying about raw foodism for a while now, so I know about how I can get my nutrients…which doesn’t have to come from processed foods and animal products. raw foodism can be the healthiest diet if you eat the right fruits and vegetables. anyways, this is my plan:
week one: each of my meals and snack will consist of fruits and/or vegetables (cooked or raw)
week two: each of my meals and snacks will consist ONLY of fruits and vegetables (cooked or raw)
week three: at least two meals a day has to be all fresh fruits and/or vegetables (as well as snacks)
week four: at least two meals a day has to be all fresh fruits and/or vegetables (as well as snacks)
after week four everything will be raw fruits and vegetables.
