Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Why do we overeat time and time again? Why do we make poor diet choices while we want to be healthy? What makes losing weight so difficult? These and many other vital questions are addressed in 12 Steps to Raw Foods in an open and sincere dialogue. Based on the latest scientific research, Victoria Boutenko explains the numerous benefits of choosing a diet of fresh rather than cooked foods. This book contains self-tests and questionnaires that help the reader to determine if they have hidden eating patterns that undermine their health. Using examples from life, the author explores the most common reasons for people to make unhealthy eating choices.
Rather than simply praising the benefits of raw foods, this book offers helpful tips and coping techniques to form and maintain new, healthy patterns. Learn how to make a raw food restaurant card that makes dining with co-workers easy and enjoyable. Discover three magic sentences that enable you to refuse your mother-in-law’s apple pie without offending her. Find out how to sustain your chosen diet while traveling. These are only a few of the many scenarios that Boutenko outlines.
Written in a convenient 12-step format, this book guides the reader through the most significant physical, psychological, and spiritual phases of the transition from cooked to raw foods. Embracing the raw food lifestyle is more than simply turning off the stove. Such a radical change in the way we eat affects all aspects of life. Boutenko touches on the human relationship with nature, the value of supporting others, and the importance of living in harmony with people who don’t share the same point of view on eating. Already a classic, this enhanced second edition is aimed at anyone interested in improving their health through diet.

The AA approach is Right On
I came to Raw Foods through the back door so to speak. I wasn't looking for any special dietary advice, in fact, I didn't think I had a problem. I wasn't over weight. I had permanently activated my Kundalini, and was about to publish a book about it, Deciphering the Golden Flower One Secret at a Time. As the publication date approached, I began to feel "stuffed." This condition interfered with the autonomic self-healing properties of Kundalini. I realized I had a problem. The energy I normally experienced from my active Kundalini was being diluted by gastric interference. Up to this point, my Kundalini had reserved and improved my health, flooding my nervous system on a daily basis with cleansing energy that revitalized my entire body. I tried supplements and colonics. Nothing worked. Then, one day as I pulled into our neighborhood coop, I found myself listening to a radio interview on Raw Foods. It was Victoria Boutenko.
Although I had never heard of Raw Foods, I immediately ordered this book and when it arrived, I plunged into a 100% Raw Foods diet. It did the trick, cleared up my stomach/gastric problems, and kicked my Kundalini activity into high gear once again. I discovered that no matter how much energy one derives from spiritual practices, it's important to eat correctly. yet, as Victoria points out: Cooked foods have the authority of social acceptance behind them.
I decided to hold up publication of my book to include a chapter on the serendipitous, backdoor way I discovered Raw Foods. Raw Foods and Kundalini, a powerful self-healing combination.

Worth every penny and more!!
I'm totally clueless to the Raw Food lifestyle and I really wanted to get as many books as I could find (and afford) that would help me understand this way of life inside and out so that I don't just add the book to my collection of "diets" that I failed. This book is extremely powerful. I feel like I'm receiving therapy for my food addiction as I read it. It is amazing; Victoria covers every possible topic you could think of while making this intense transition and I'm looking forward to the journey with her help; this will become my new bible to healthy living and you won't be seeing me re-selling it on Amazon!

Another Boutenko Classic!!
Everyone's needs are different. Some follow vegetarianism, others follow low carbs and some are Raw Food followers.
This book is for people wanting to follow a raw food lifestyle.
Boutenko does a great job of introducing the reader to ways of bettering eating habits with a process that helps expose unhealthy food consumption.
This book is really easy to read and is very informative for those new to raw foods.

be aware...
Wonderful and dangerous book for who is going to raw food diet.
Wonderful because has good tips to go raw and stay raw...
Dangerous because now we know how bad is a high fat diet, even a raw one.
This book is good just if the person reads the 80/10/10 diet from Dr. Douglas Graham. This is the way to go raw without mess out with your health...

12 Steps to Raw Foods
There are some very helpful ideas in the book. She looks at a broad picture. However, I am a bit overwhelmed by her personal experience. She is much stronger than I.
