12 Steps To Raw Foods

Why do we overeat time and time again? Why do we make poor diet
choices while we want to be healthy? What makes losing weight so
difficult? These and many other vital questions are addressed in
12 Steps to Raw Foods in an open and sincere dialogue. Based
on the latest scientific research, Victoria Boutenko explains the
numerous benefits of choosing a diet of fresh rather than cooked
foods. This book contains self-tests and questionnaires that help
the reader to determine if they have hidden eating patterns that
undermine their health. Using examples from life, the author
explores the most common reasons for people to make unhealthy
eating choices.



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.
