My doctor recently told me that for health reasons I should consider drastically changing my diet. I was considering going vegan and someone suggested I should try going raw. Is there any good books or websites that allow me to do this without breaking my budget on a food plan?

I want to find a really simple recipe book, I don’t mind having to soak nuts over night so much, but their is lot of stuff where you need a dyhydrater and I don’t have one. I have a blender, a rubish juicer (need a good one) a spangler and a grater.

Also does anyone know any good books on recipes for the 80/10/10 diet?

I have been looking in to (and starting the dog) feed a barf diet to my dogs and cats…my dogs have always gotten raw soup bones and pig ears. and they get most table scraps, mixed with kibble…
however after we lost our male cat at the young age of 4 to a bladder blockage…i have been looking in to feeding our other male and new female cat a raw diet…the vet told me that indoor fixed male cats get it more often then say a fixed male barn cat would. my mother also loss her indoor unaltered male cat a week before we lost ours(same food fed). So the more i looked the more i belamed the food companies that claim they care.
also the male cat is VERY over weight. and the dogs are chunky…but they get lots od exersize….so lite diets would be helpful.

so the question is have u read any good books or web sites with some free recipes?

thanks in advance.
first off CS u asume to much and are a bit of a b*itch about it….i know what caused it..i know the crystals and the male urthea..i also know that u have to watch the ash content and Magnesium ect. for males. As MY FAT CAT has had infections..i know this my cats where on the right food…
CS SAID: Funny though, your willing to blame a food company, but not your own medical management of a cat that you have let become overweight and therefore unhealthy…wonder why that is?

…my cat was over weight well before i got him….and he has lost some because i cut back his food and diet food make him sick…or he won’t eat them wasted even money on the crap the pet food companies sale….and like i said Assuming makes ya look like an ASS.

Oh and what do u think our pets ate before the pet food company’s?!

oh and thanks electro….
oh my dogs are not over weight they are just a bit chunky… it winter here it been very cold (They are not out side dogs but they do play outside for about 3 hour though out the day plus i walk them for about an hour a day….before any one belames me for that to)and they seem to gain winter bulk. they are at 73 and 75 lbs they are rottie/ border collie and ‘u name it’ mixes. so i figure they are about 6-8 lbs over ….

Anybody know of any good books about a raw food diet? Thanks.

In the past year have developed bd digestion problems IBS and such and was thinking bout doing a raw food diet as a natural drug free way to fix the problems. Does anyone have any suggestions for good books on "The Raw Food Diet" and how to start etc..???

Hello all, thanks for any advice. Basically, I am looking to find either good websites, or more importantly a few good books on the subject of eating for energy rather than for weight loss or anything like that. I find I am very often lethargic during the day, and to say I do not have a healthy diet would be an understatement, so I figure that’s the best place to start. :)

I was wondering if anyone knew any good books on raw foodism? Not so much recipe books, more informational.
Thank you :)

I am really interested in starting this for the health benefits but I seem to be addicted to cooked, and overprocessed food. Does anyone know of any really good books about this with some recipes for me to get started with?
Yes, sushi is my favorite food!!
If not vegan than maybe vegetarian. I would still like to eat some dairy and fish.
