The Fruits and Greens Diet: A 10 Step Guide for a Lifetime of Dietary Health
This book was an easy read- I got through it in one evening. It contains a lot of great information in it that I think is beneficial to someone just starting this journey. One of the things I liked the most was the 10 steps. I am a firm believer in taking it one step at a time. Eliminate one bad thing this week, add one good thing the next week etc.. These 10 steps follow my beliefs. Take as much time as you need on each step. When you have conquered step 10 then you are ready to dive into one week of 100% raw- for what Raw Chef Andi calls the Joyful Jumpstart Week. Not every person can just dive into the raw food world 100% all at once. This book helps you to ease into it- making better choices along the way.

I have been high raw for almost a month now but had stalled over a week with my weight loss. Using a couple of tips from this book and my weight loss has picked back up again. I would recommend this book to someone just starting out in their journey towards health. Thanks Raw Chef Andi!
