Raw Vegan Reading Material?!
What are the best books in your opinion? How about for Sprouting made easy? Did anyone try the 7 day meal plan e-book from The Garden Diet?
Thank you for any and all info!!
Answers: I am currently playing in the waters of raw vegan food yet again! I know it is optimal, but want more and more information under my belt! I have read the following books: Raw Kids: Transisitong Children to a Raw Food Diet, 12 Steps to Raw Foods: How to End Your Addiction to Cooked Food, Health According To The Scriptures: Experience the Joy of Health According to Our Creator and THE RAW LIFE: Becoming Natural In An Unnatural World, By Paul Nison. I know of, but haven't picked up from the libraray yet The China Study and 80/10/10 Diet. I also read through the GArden Diet site, and quite a few raw blogs!

I understand about craving info :o). I have to say that I too have read all the above titles and found that they all came to life after reading Alissa Cohen's Living on Live Foods. I so desperately wanted to eat raw, living foods because I saw the health benefits, but all the books I read lacked the basics of transitioning that Alissa's book covers so well. Once I read her book I was no longer intimidated by the other recipes, and I "got it."
I truly enjoy Storm and Jinjee's materials and someday I hope to grow out of using my dehydrator, but for now it is what allows my whole family to love eating raw foods. I highly recommend Alissa's book and DVD if you would like a starting point that allows you to eat fast and easy raw meals that satisfy like cooked ones right from the start. By the way, Alissa has wonderful information on sprouting a variety of grains, nuts and seeds in her book with easy reference charts and yummy recipes.
I have tried The Garden Diet's 7 day meal plan, but found that my palate still craved breads and cooked foods too much. I will be trying their diet again soon, but for now I am using the 30 day meal plan in Alissa's book to fully transition.
Hope this helps :o)
All the best!
Try The Hallelujah Diet by Revered George Malkmus.
I've read it and it's really good. It also expains the nutrients your body needs, plus it gives you a revised food pyramid, and focuses on the nutrients and vitamins from the food, not just the food itself.
A good way of thinking, I say. It also focuses on raw foods, which is what you're looking at! Good luck.
HipHop7 & RociT_S pretty much covered anything I'd advise, along with the ones you have already looked at.
Keep on studying until you are ready to act. Self education is very improtant to all health matters.
