Hello to all.
I am starting my weight loss journey today....oh yeah!! I just read Angela's e-book. Loved it. The simpler the better for us newbies. Some sights and books are a little overwhelming. This is the place I have been looking for. I have 40-50 lbs to shed. My baby is 2....can't really blame it on her any more. I started reading and dabbling in raw things about 4 months ago. I just can't get a plan together, Then I purchased the e-book. I now have a plan. I have all the goods now Juicer, vitamix, excalibur dehydrator and new kitchen utensils I don't know how to use (mandoline slicer) I will keep you updated. Produce is so expensive here in Omaha, NE in the winter. What can I incorporate in the winter months? Do raw foodists think of seasonal eating????

I think raw vegans do incorporate some seasonal eating just due to the fact that certain foods become unavailable in the winter - like fresh berries.

Some might rely more on greens and sprouts(that they grow at home even) in the winter.

I try to stock up on frozen fruits for smoothies, but other than that I still eat a lot of greens, avocados, and tomatoes.

Angela and Matt have some yummy alternatives on their websites like sea spaghetti, flax crackers, and raw dried hummus http://www.rawveganbooks.com/index.php?cPath=100150_100148&osCsid=ef037cec23dacde1dc068b22e2e1faae .

How are you getting on?
