Product Description
Ten years ago, Carol Alt was feeling bad. Really bad. She had chronic headaches, sinusitis, and stomach ailments; she was tired and listless. And then Carol started eating raw—and changed her life. Eating in the Raw begins with her story and then presents practical, how-to information on everything you need to know about the exciting movement that’s been embraced by Demi Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Sting, Edward Norton, and legions of other health-minded people. You’ll learn:
•What exactly raw food is—and isn’t—and how to integrate it into your diet
•How to avoid the all-or-nothing pitfall: you can eat some cooked foods, you can eat some foods partially cooked, and you don’t have to deprive yourself
•Why raw food is not just for vegetarians or vegans—Carol eats meat, and so can you
•The differences between cooked and raw vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and what they mean for you
•An ease-in approach to eating raw, and how to eat raw in restaurants
In addition, Carol answers frequently asked questions and offers forty simple recipes for every meal, from light dishes such as Gazpacho and Lentil Salad to entrees including Tuna Tartare and Spaghetti al Pesto and even desserts like Pumpkin Pie and Apple Tart with Crème Anglaise—rounding out a thorough, accessible, and eminently compelling case why in the raw is the best way to eat.

Makes a lot of sense,
This review is from: Eating in the Raw: A Beginner's Guide to Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, and Looking Younger the Raw-Food Way (Paperback)
This book makes sense. What I particularly like about it is the fact that Carol Alt does not try to convert anyone to become a "raw only" person, or a vegetarian. So, it is good book for just anybody; unlike the books by Butenkos, in which I found some exaggerated claims. I also liked the Eating in the Raw recipes. Amazon suggests buying this book together with "12 Steps to Raw Foods" by Butenko, but I absolutely disagree with that choice. Firstly, for the reason just mentioned above; secondly, why would you buy two books on the same topic? I find that adding Can We Live 150 Years?, by Tombak would be a more appropriate choice, as Mr. Tombak is also as down-to-earth as Ms. Alt; in addition he broadens the topic of health by so many other issues outside of proper nutrition that very well complement raw eating. Before buying the book, you may want to check www.starthealthylife.com to read many free excerpts provided by the publisher, or to download some free Ebooks about alternative life styles.

Great book for beginners,
By Rachell Racine (Montreal, QC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eating in the Raw: A Beginner's Guide to Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, and Looking Younger the Raw-Food Way (Paperback)
I read the whole thing in 2 days. I have tried about 5 or 6 recipes and they were all very surprisingly good, full of taste and easy to create. the wealth of information given in the book is easy to relate for and apply for any average working class person, espacially tips given in shopping. Using her guideline, I was able to go the local health food store and find everything for the recipes, no problems. The basic information I was able to get in here. I think for any beginner, this is the book to start with.

Raw Meat and Dairy?,
This review is from: Eating in the Raw: A Beginner's Guide to Getting Slimmer, Feeling Healthier, and Looking Younger the Raw-Food Way (Paperback)
For Carol Alt to say that there are nutrients one needs to obtain by eating raw meat or dairy is ridiculous. She needs to do some research!
