The No-Willpower Transition to Raw
Check out this short video by performer/raw foodist Tonya Kay on transitioning to a raw food diet:
This was the first time I had heard of this approach and I think it’s excellent.
Basically, Tonya advocates making a list of all of your favorite cooked foods. Only purchase your favorite foods and replace all your non-favorites with raw foods.
Keep your favorite foods in your house at all times and eat them whenever you like.
By only eating your favorite foods and replacing the rest with healthy raw foods, you will already be eating a substantially better diet without having to impose strict dietary rules on yourself.
Overtime, your taste buds will naturally become accustomed to the simpler whole foods you are eating. You will no longer desire your old favorites without any willpower on your part at all.
And Tonya is just so adorable and fun to watch!
So watch the vid and be the best raw foodist you can be!
Go raw and be fit,

P.S. I would also like to add that the best raw foods to start incorporating into your diet are sweet fruits. They are satiating, delicious, and nutritionally the most appropriate foods for humans. And if you eat enough of them, even your MOST favorite cooked food treats will have no appeal whatsoever.
And if you’re finding it difficult to eat enough sweet fruit mono-meal style (one fruit at a time), don’t fret! Give these tasty, fruit filled recipes in my raw recipe book a try!

Hi, I juut discovered your blog and want to thank you for being such an inspiration! I was hoping you could answer a question.. I am slowly transitioning to 80/10/10, would it be better to eat more raw healthy fat and completely cut out my steamed veggies or make sure i keep my fat 10% or below and and phase out the steamed veggies (ps, I have noticed I have gained a few lbs. and was not sure if it was from the extra portions of raw fat or the steamed veggies)
Thank you again!

Great question, Kelly! I would definitely choose the steamed veggies over the higher percentage of raw fats. No matter what foods you are eating, keeping the percentages at 80/10/10 is the healthiest option.
Hope that helps!
