The 7 days of eating raw foods plan will provide you with everything needed to keep you satiated and nourished. One of the characteristics of eating raw foods that can be hard for many to adapt to when starting to eat raw is the light feeling that can be a part of it.

Young Thai Coconuts have an incredible soft, very subtle and light tasting meat inside of them. The coconut meat makes a great base for many raw foods dishes as there is very little taste and the meat adapts to and blends well with (or is hidden under) many different flavors. It can be used in a diverse array of dishes from various types of cuisines. You can cut the meat in strips to use alone as noodles or blend the meat with other ingredients or water to make a smooth creamy base for sauces and soups. I like to eat the meat as is straight from the coconut, just spoon out and eat. The water is pretty awesome too and is the highest natural source of electrolytes. Coconut meat is filled with nutrients and the good fats contained in it are great for weight loss! || Read more
