With eye-opening self-tests and questionnaires, this step-by-step
guide will help you replace unhealthy eating patterns with a diet of
fresh, raw foods
Why do we overeat time and time again? Why do we make poor diet choices?
Why is dieting so difficult? Using the latest scientific research and an
open, conversational tone, 12 Steps to Raw Foods addresses these vital
questions and explains the numerous benefits of choosing a diet of
fresh--versus cooked--foods.
But rather than simply praising the benefits of raw foods, this book
offers helpful tips and coping techniques to form and maintain new,
healthy patterns. Learn how to make a raw food restaurant card that
makes dining with co-workers easy and enjoyable. Discover three magic
sentences that enable you to refuse your mother-in-law's apple pie
without offending her. Find out how to sustain your chosen diet while
traveling. These are only a few of the many scenarios that Boutenko
outlines.
Written in a convenient 12-step format, this book guides the reader
through the most significant physical, psychological, and spiritual
phases of the transition from cooked to raw foods. Embracing the raw
food lifestyle is more than simply turning off the stove. Such a radical
change in the way we eat affects all aspects of life. Boutenko touches
on the human relationship with nature, the value of supporting others,
and the importance of living in harmony with people who don't share the
same point of view on eating. Already a classic, this enhanced second
edition is aimed at anyone interested in improving their health through
diet.
