Books About Raw Food
I've been reading Carol Alt's book Eating in the Raw. A little too much chatter, but still interesting. I wish there was a little more guidance about putting a daily menu together. She recommends including these staples as you plan your menu: proteins (germinated nuts, sprouted seeds, raw cheeses, and raw or lightly seared meat and fish), long-chain carbohydrates (sprouted grains and sprouted grain breads and vegetables), and healthy fats (avocados, coconuts, and cold-pressed oils). But she doesn't give any suggested servings per day of each. It's odd that fruit is not mentioned in that list, as she talks about eating fruit all through the book. I also checked out The Raw Food Detox Diet. Too complicated. Eat one food group first thing in the morning, wait three hours, eat a different food group, never mix food groups....not practical for my life, not something I could stick with. I have ordered Instant Raw Sensations and Raw Food for Busy People.
