i started a similar diet with “green foods”:

“What’s So Miraculous About Green Foods?
In today’s world, “eating right” is becoming more and more difficult. Given the over-processing of foods and current depletive farming practices, we are deprived of many of the vitamins and nutrients our body needs for a well functioning immune system and the energy to get us through the day.”

I’ve been eating strictly raw for about a year, and it’s great!
Here are a few websites to get you started:

The first thing you will likely encounter is lists of equipment you need, and books you need to purchase…
Don’t worry about that at first, just eat all the raw fruits and vegetables you want, limiting the avocados.

Juice is great if you have a juicer- otherwise it has been pasteurized. (cooked)

When you feel the need for something more (or you’re on the verge of ordering a pizza…) go for an avocado or some raw cashews.

When you’re ready, “The Complete Book of Raw Food” is a good basic to start with.

Watch it. You might be tempted to cheat (m&ms are not considered raw food – trust me, I’ve been there, and am still reminding myself). I don’t know what you’ve been eating before, but I can almost guarantee it’s gonna be hard. How about a scaled-down version, like one-raw-meal-a-day or -a-week where it’s do-able?

Because I changed my eating habits from a typical American fast-food junkie to an organic near vegetarian almost a year ago, and I still can’t resist the binge temptations, I get really hungry and reach for organic ice cream thinking I’m being a good girl, when in fact I should rethink my habits.

I’m thinking of changing to raw food, but going to be a long, slow process, especially in the winter when I crave a good soup or bowl of chili. I’m going to try fresh fruit only for breakfast, a huge array of veggies for lunch, and experiment for dinner, probably going 75 raw and 25% cooked.

Watch the raw animal products – I wouldn’t eat them, only occasionally raw cheese, but I do admire those who can stomach 100% raw food.

Good luck and if you get discouraged, there are so many other wonderful ideas in the veggie/vegan/organic/naturalist websites, and in the veg/vegan section here also.
