What is the best way to transition to a raw diet? That is completely up to you.

20 Tips to Transition to a healthier diet

Here are a few healthy eating guidelines. Add a few raw food items to your meal everyday, until that is what you crave. For example, add fruit between your meal. You will begin to notice because fruit is a slow sugar, your cravings for other snacks and sweets will go away. If they do not, that is still a step in the right direction. Try a raw side item with your meal instead of baked potatoes, rice, or other cooked foods. There are several recipes that you can try. Replace one cooked meal a day with a raw meal. Complete a 7 day, 14 day, or 30 day challenge of all raw. You may be a person that needs to jump right in. Allowing cooked foods tempts you to eat more cooked foods. Have a good support system. Get a friend or two to go the program with you for a week.

Everyone practices some type of diet, whether it's the SAD (standard American Diet), vegetarianism, veganism, raw foodism, etc. Where ever you are, eat a balanced diet of vegetables, leafy green vegetables, fruits, fats, and proteins. A well rounded diet will help to ensure that you are getting all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs and is necessary for your raw food health.
