Getting Started
Thinking of easing into the vegan lifestyle? Well don't let gossip or media portrayal of this way of life determine your perspective of it. Indeed the countless numbers of individuals have cured their ailments through this nutritional change in consumption will attest to the fact that it is not a diet; it's actually a LIVE-IT. Since all disease is nutritionally based, the people of our times are in dire need of nutritional education. So where to begin? Here is my recommendation.
Work a new meal a week into your menu. Try new meals so you get more confident in crossing over. Explore this website in Resources for links, recipes and books I recommend. Don't worry about being "100% raw". That is not the task, the task is to be healthy. Understand a life time of processed foods, meats, cheeses have caused enzyme deficiencies, high cholesterol, coagulated blood and a plethora of other issues doctors over look that are vital to proper health. So a great way to introduce healing foods into your transition is to juice and have a salad with each meal.
So where do you go for food, what do you buy? Here are some recommendations:
Cooking/Shopping:
Of course you should buy veggies and sprouts ( Alfalfa, sunflower, clover etc) look up recipes and make as much food fresh from scratch.
