Raw Food Diet For Healthy DetoxRaw Food Diet For Life In The Urban Jungle

From a lifestyle … raw food?

I am very interested in becoming a raw foodist. I can not afford a spirilizer or a dehydrator, but I have a juicer. Does anyone have any tips or advice to help me on this trip? Although I would lose somewhere around 20 pounds., Not all about weight loss … I feel better as a whole. Thus, some tips, tricks, tips, recipes, shopping lists, etc. I would be very useful vegan so I do not like any meat, dairy or eggs as well. We apologize for any confusion

Hi! I lost 30 pounds in two months of eating raw food. I'm going after the next 30. Subscribe to my blog and learn more: I started with just a blender http://www.bjaysblog.blogspot.com. It remains the main theme I use. I have no spirulizer …. if I want to cut the vegetables into thin strips – like the pumpkin down into "noodles" I use a potato peeler. I recently began experimenting with dehydration. While it's nice to make the cookies and stuff, not necessary. The dryer I use now is $ 25 Ronco dehydrator that I received from Target. I have the version without fan, hoping it was smoother in the food. It has a temperature gauge, so it probably could be more than ideal temperature … dehydrated but many do not consider "real food, raw food anyway. So I'm not focusing on the temperature – I'm "mostly raw" and I was happy with that for now. I would suggest you start using your blender for juice. I will upload a video for beginners juice using a blender and a paint strainer or nut milk bag soon. I talk about it on my blog though. Many people have committed to only drinking juice daily, and then, of course, have gone from there. I like the book "The Idiot's Guide to raw foods." I also like "Raw Food Made Simple". The latter is wonderful with tips, lists, etc. Maybe you can read both of them at your local bookstore just to get ideas. I can buy food for 3-4 days. Staple foods I can buy are vegetable juice (1 cucumber, 1 celery head, 1.4 to 1.2 pounds of dark green leaves per quart – such as spinach, cabbage, kale), vegetables salad (Lettuce a day or two, a couple of tomatoes, onion, as needed, 3-4 avocados, sprouts a box), other vegetables (pumpkin, as necessary, 3-4apples, small bunches bananas, oranges, four lemons, limes 4 green onions, as necessary, cilantro, as needed pepper, as needed garlic, as necessary, raisins / blueberries, as needed, ginger, as needed, pepper, as needed, carrots, as needed, beets, as needed). I look for sales and buy things on sale season – so you could buy fresh corn on the cob, peppers, broccoli, okra, etc, if it is for sale. They also tend to buy bags of pre-shredded cabbage. That stuff is usually super cheap, filling and good for you. I mix in a salad. Some stores carry the bags of spinach too cheap. The staples I have are the salt, pepper, chili powder, vinegar, raw apple cider, Braggs liquid amino acids (I'm not sure if it's totally gross), different nuts (especially sunflower seeds and almonds), sesame seeds, chia seeds, ground flax seeds, olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil. A variety of spices too. I'm sure I'm forgetting things but that's the top of my head. Also I spring things on my own, very cheap and easy. And I have herbs growing in pots outside.
