ANOTHER RAW FOOD SITE

I found another good raw web site: http: //uncooking101.com/site/

What is raw food? Why raw food? How do I start? B12, Calcium, Protein ETC!

In answer to a friend who asked me, What advice do I give to newbies, here is what I said:

Enjoy every bite.

Remember that this is NOT deprivation. This is the key to health. Health = wellness = joy = longevity. Nothing about that says “deprivation” to me.

Soak it up and live life. Drink green smoothies every day.

Eat when you’re hungry. Don’t live to eat.

At social functions, don’t forget the PEOPLE just because you are choosing not to eat the food. Make yummy stuff and share. Don’t be scared to share! BUT don’t forget that everyone is not in the same place, and they might be confused/threatened by your new lifestyle. Don’t let that hold you back from thriving in your newfound joy and energy!
