When I talk to people about the benefits of eating raw foods, one of the most common responses is, \u201cYes, it sounds really good, but I don\u2019t think I could do it myself.\u201d And then I discuss with them about what they are actually eating on a daily basis, and it is amazing how easy it is to up your raw food quota to over 50 %, just by subtracting XYZ and adding ABC.<\/p>\n

To me, this is one of the real beauties of raw eating. It doesn\u2019t have to be another fad diet; although some people do follow it like one, they are less likely to get sustained results, than the people who approach it with a little more pragmatism and common sense.<\/p>\n

If you are eating over 50 % raw on a daily basis, you\u2019re still going to feel the benefits.<\/strong> These include: increased physical energy, less fatigue, more stamina; more mental clarity and focus; a greater sense of contentment and well-being and less mood swings; and even a heightened spirituality and openness to life. Most people find 70 % raw is a good place to stick. This means you get all the increased vitality and zest for life, but without having to miss out on family get-togethers and meals out with friends, and without having to forego any of your favourite treats.<\/p>\n

So there are two basic approaches you can take. The first is to start including more raw foods at every meal. For example, have some freshly made juice with your morning cereal, or have some fresh fruit with soya milk or yoghurt. Lunch could be a salad with a baked potato, a rice salad, or a sandwich stuffed full with avocado, tomato and alfalfa sprouts. Snacks would include trail mixes, fruit, raw snack bars, smoothies, and even raw chocolate. Dinner might consist of some roast veggies and a salad, or pasta in a homemade raw tomato sauce.<\/em><\/p>\n

The other approach is just to start with one or two raw meals a day. Have a smoothie for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a cooked dinner. Or porridge for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, but then eat raw snacks all day, and have a raw supper.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With raw foods, there are no set rules. It\u2019s all about listening to your intuition and learning about what foods work for you. What\u2019s going to make you feel totally great right now? What\u2019s going to please your palate, fill your belly, and delight your body with lots of wonderful nutrition? You may be surprised when you lift the lid on raw food cuisine what a varied and interesting diet it can be.<\/p>\n
