Yes, there's a LOT out there about the raw food lifestyle the common "Joe" doesn't know. At first it can seem overwhelming, but what new adventure doesn't? Luckily, we have the internet which helps make our huge world more accessible and user friendly for all types of folks. Not good with reading? Watch some vlogs and instructional You Tube videos. Need more Layman's terms? Hit up some user blogs; there are a ton! The raw food community is extremely friendly and helpful, but if you're just looking to browse around on your own, here are some website I find super helpful:
- The Renegade Health Show, Community, and Store- This is a husband/wife team who host interviews, how-to, informational, and instructional recipe videos. They also have a store if you're looking to buy some ingredients, supplements, or literature.
- Sun Food Store- David Wolfe is the founder of this online store, and is also a huge advocate of, and leader within, the raw food movement. His online "grocery store" is well equipped, especially in "super foods."
- Ani Phyo- Ani was recently on an episode of The Travel Channel's Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods. She's a raw food chef and educator.
- Natalia Rose
- Elaina Love with Pure Joy Planet
- Raw Food Life
- The Hippocrates Institute
- Gabriel Cousens and The Tree of Life Center
- Matt Monarch and Angela Stokes-Monarch- This couple started out as individual raw food activists who are now a team as a married couple. Angela was recently on CNN for her 160 lbs weight loss journey through raw foods. You see these two's names come up all over raw food sites. They are highly enthusiastic about raw foods, have great tips, knowledge, personal experiences, a raw food online store, and Matt's simply entertaining to watch ;-)
- Raw Freedom Community- this site is founded by Carmella (don't know her last name) who also has a great blog with tons of credible recipes. This online community forum is GREAT for recipe sharing, questions and concerns, support, and connecting with other raw foodists.
- Tim VanOrden- Tim's site is a great place for those of you who are highly physically active with concerns about raw foodism in conjuction with athleticism.
- All Raw Directory
- Greenling Organic Delivery- Don't have time to shop? Can't find what your looking for at the grocery store? Want the option of buying local? Check out Greenling! They're not a 100% raw company, so if you're not interested in raw there's PLENTY for you to check out. They're basically an online grocery store that delivers to your home if you are in the Georgetown to San Antonio stretch on I35! Create an account, order online in advance, and on your delivery day, they leave a plastic bin on your front porch with all your groceries. Click here to see if they ship to your area.
There's a ton of info out there! Simply type "raw food" in a google search, and you know the rest. Also, hit up some blogs here on blogger.com. There are some AWESOME blogs with great recipes, tips, and pictures.
Happy eating,
Claire
