Review of The Raw Food Detox Diet: The Five-Step Plan for Vibrant Health and Maximum Weight Loss (Paperback)

I've been raw for over a year.I WISH I HAD READ THIS BOOK FIRST!The first book I read was Carol Alt's "Eating in the Raw" - after I read it, I decided to switch overnight... and I made myself really sick. But I stuck with it and eventually felt better. But even after a year of eating what I though was all the right stuff, I still didn't feel as good as I wanted.Now I understand - it was the wrong combinations, like a piece of fruit for dessert after dinner or the almond butter & banana sandwich on sprout bread.I was mixing food groups incorrectly, but I didn't realize it.

The author says in this book that you might feel results as soon as the first evening - IT'S TRUE!The first day I started out with a batch of Green Lemonade, and followed the meal plan all day; I even had dark chocolate for dessert (something I considered off-limits since I switched to raw).That evening was the first time in as long as I can remember that I didn't feel exhausted.It was actually the best I've ever felt!

Be warned, though, that some stuff in this book is a little out there - I definitely don't plan on giving myself any enemas! yuck! - but just following the menu plans really can make a big difference in how good you feel, even by the end of the first day!

I definitely recommend reading this book FIRST if you want to get into the raw food lifestyle, then read some of the others. START HERE.I don't think you'll regret it.There's no need to go through the horrible detox I went through - and all because I didn't understand the importance of transitioning.Some of the reviewers were upset because this book is not 100% raw... well, it doesn't have to be!If you're just starting on something like this, you shouldn't jump in too fast.Go slowly through the transition levels that Natalia Rose describes.Enjoy this book and good luck reaching your goals.

UPDATE:
Natalia Rose has written a new book, "Raw Food Life Force Energy," which I just read.You might consider buying the new book, because it has much of the same information as the original book (this one) along with enhanced explanations, a description of food vibrations, a 21-day step-by-step plan, and a Q&A section.Some of my questions from the first book are actually answered in the second.
