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.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- A+ for any new raw foodists
This book was just what I needed to explore raw foodism. Carol Alt gave very direct ideas and opinions on her own venture into raw foods as well as some pretty decent recipes, tips and tricks for preparing raw foods. I count this book as a must have for anyone that is interested in this lifestyle.

Rating:

- Lots of good information for the beginner
The most interesting parts of this book are Carol's own story and her overall tips for the beginner in raw food. As a beginner myself I appreciated her advice to try a little at a time inserting raw into your diet in lieu of worrying about switching over altogether all at once. The recipes were ok, but I live in a pretty remote location - so her general advice was of more use to me than the actual recipes. But if you live in an urban area you should have no problem at all rounding up these ingredients, and enjoying a healthier lifestyle!

- Carol Alt gives direction to this "eating raw" lifestyle change!
Carol does a great job of giving variety to the "eating raw" world with all her recipes and tips. It's not an easy lifestyle change to implement but with her help it's going more smoothly.

Rating:

- hungry for more
I did like this book and enjoyed Carol Alt's honesty. However, I wanted more information. The intention of this book is to be a beginners guide to a raw food lifestyle and that is exactly what it is. I finished and was very excited, however I still didn't know how to start and had to go find another book. But I will still recommend it b/c it held my interest and I think Alt has good intentions.
