How to Transition

Posted by Tree @ Barefooters' Holistics originally:

Eat as high a percentage of raw-plant foods in your diet as possible. Feel free to eat large quantities of raw plant foods if you feel so inclined. Discover sources for raw organic foods either locally or through mail order. Items which may be unfamiliar such as flax seed oil or spirulina may be found at the health-food store or through mail order.



Any cooked foods should preferentially be eaten in the evening and then only one type at a time. Always combine any cooked food with the evening's large salad and freshly-made vegetable juice.



Cooked starches should be those which are lower on the Glycemic Index Chart.



Transitioning off of red meat initially, then pork, chicken, and finally fish is an excellent way to let go of animal foods. It is very important for our own health and success to let go of these foods quickly.



Remember the simple rule: Simplicity is bliss.



Be flexible. Be easy on yourself. Transition at your own pace.



Unless otherwise stated, all menu items should be raw, plant-based, and organic.
