You don’t have to have to completely change your diet today, but the
key to make slow, small changes. I attempted to make one huge change
in diet at one time and quickly realized there are all sorts of habits I
need to learn to reap the benefits of this diet. Here are a few
suggestions you can use to implement these changes…
Change one meal at a time. Instead of changing every meal, start with
an all raw fruit breakfast or just have a big salad for dinner.
Add fruit or salad to every meal. Going out to eat? Start with a salad.
Want desert? Eat some fruit. Eating as much fruit as you care for will
leave you finishing every meal feeling statisifed.

of fruit.
