This is the time of the year where most people get together with their family and celebrate Thanksgiving and not to long from now Christmas. I know some of you are probably wondering how do I get through this holiday and maintain my raw status, whatever that may be.
For most of you on this list you are high raw or aspiring to be high raw and there are some of you that aspire to be 100% raw. Whatever your goal is you can make it through the holidays on track. Here are a few tips. Note: These tips are no secret but most people fail to do this:
Take your own food: I recommend that if you want to stay on track start creating your holiday plans right now! This is the perfect time. You want to be more then ready to not feel tempted and the only way is to make enough food. I suggest that you go above and beyond. Make at least 2-3 desserts and 2-3 main dishes that you can take with you and even share with family. By having these dishes available you are covering your needs.
But what happens if people ask me to eat something I don’t want to eat? You must be prepared to answer to family who may ask you to eat their food. You have two options, either you can nibble on some of their food or have something prepared to say to someone who ask you to eat. If you are someone who is eating a 100% raw food diet it may not be a good idea to take a nibble. Tell them that you would love to taste their food but that you are currently following a different eating plan and in order to see the results you are looking for you need to stick with it. Basically have what you plan to say prepared and ready in case anyone challenge your diet.
As you can see the best advice I have is, be prepared. If you are not prepared, you are most likely setting yourself up for failure.
Below are some of my favorite recipe books. If you do not have a recipe book available, I highly suggest you buy one of the recipe books below.
These are by far some of my favorite recipes books. Most if not all of the recipes taste so good. You can’t go wrong with these books.
