Guidelines For a Healthy Diet
IN THIS CHAPTER WE WILL EXPLORE some basic guidelines for a healthy diet. The most healthy gift of life, according to the scientific evidence, is food in its organic, whole, natural form just as God has given us, and the healing power of the sun, water, and earth from which we draw sustenance.

Raw Foods: Social Considerations
Succeeding socially on a raw foods diet is difficult at first, but it will become much easier over time. It can be tough when you aren’t receiving support from family and friends. Tell them you don’t expect them to eat raw and you would like their support.
Here are the top 7 techniques to ensure your success in a non-raw world:
1) Be a Leader
Don’t try to force your ideas, beliefs, and eating patterns on them. Just lead by example, and once you start seeing results from your excellent eating habits people will start asking you what your secret is.
2) The Power of Asking
Tell your family and friends that you are setting goals to transition to a raw foods diet and you would appreciate their support and help. If you ask them for support, they will give it to you.
3) Prepare Beautiful and Delicious Gourmet Food
One of the best ways to introduce people to the raw foods lifestyle is through the raw gourmet dishes. The gourmet recipes taste so good that people will be amazed and impressed. The food will effortlessly sell thediet to your friends and family, and you won’t need to do any work.
You’re not going to convert people to the raw diet with celery and carrots, so you’re going to have to work your magic in the kitchen. The first thing you need to do is purchase a good recipe book. Practice the recipes before sharing them with your family, just in case it doesn’t turn out well.
You don’t want to give friends their first taste of raw with an untested recipe, it could be a disaster and prevent them from sampling raw forever!
Guacamole and salsa are good recipes to start with because of their familiarity. You may then move up to complex dishes such as chocolate cake, berry pie, burgers, tacos, and some of your favorite entries and appetizers.
4) Prepare for the Restaurant
The biggest test of your willpower will come when you visit a restaurant. A visit to the restaurant is unavoidable. We all are required to visit restaurants on special occasions, whether it’s a friend’s birthday,a wedding, or another special occasion. You may be surprised at the selection of raw foods available at restaurants, even though they aren’t listed on the menu.
5) Call the Restaurant
The easiest way to go about this is to call the restaurant in advance and ask them to prepare you a special raw salad. You can then bring your own small containers of salad dressing, avocado, and nuts to add to the salad.
6) Eat Raw Foods Before the Restaurant
Personally, I eat before going in the restaurant. This prevents my hunger from taking over. By eating an appetizer, I’ll be satisfied with a small salad served in the restaurant. A few pieces of fruit, avocados, nuts, seeds or small smoothie will satisfy your appetite.
7) Use the Restaurant Card
If you didn’t call the restaurant in advance, silently hand the waitperson the card below when it is your turn to order.
An early version of this card is found in the book by Victoria Boutenko titled 12 Steps to Raw Food.
Print it out, make copies, carry it with you, and use it at restaurants. Often you will find that the dish you receive is incredibly delicious, filling, and less expensive than other menu options. The cooks will appreciate the opportunity to be creative and will reward you with an incredible salad.
