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.

5 stars 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.


3 stars 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...


4 stars 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.


5 stars THIS BOOK CHANGED MY LIFE!
I LOVE THIS BOOK! THIS WAS MY FIRST BOUTENKO BOOK. ANY ONE EATING A SAD DIET (STANDARD AMERICAN DIET) WHO WANTS TO CHANGE AND DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN SHOULD READ THIS BOOK! I BOUGHT ALL THE RAW FAMILY BOOKS AFTER I READ THIS ONE. BUT MOST HAVE THE SAME BASIC RECIPES WITH A FEW NEW ONES. SAME THING WITH INFO. BUT THEY ARE A FAMILY BUSINESS PROMOTING HEALTHY INFO SO I DON'T MIND HAVING THEM ALL! MY RAW FOOD "LIFESTYLE" MUCH IMPROVED FROM THIS BOOK. MY FAVORITE OF ALL THEIR BOOKS!


5 stars Rookie Raw-Fooders, Start With This Book
Victoria Boutenko's family, all had health issues. Converting to raw-fooders, the family was restored to health. I'm convinced by her testimony, that raw-fooding is now my new eating style. In a short while, I began experiencing high levels of energy. I'm going through chemo therapy. Oncologist said the chemo will not cure the cancer. I believe that raw, live foods will restore my live body. Victoria Boutenko met her first raw-fooder who cured herself of colon cancer, being a raw-fooder.
