Book Description:
Ten years ago, Carol Alt was feeling bad. Really bad. She had chronic headaches, sinusitis, and stomach ailments; she was tired and listless. And then Carol started eating raw—and changed her life. Eating in the Raw begins with her story and then presents practical, how-to information on everything you need to know about the exciting movement that’s been embraced by Demi Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Sting, Edward Norton, and legions of other health-minded people. You’ll learn:

•What exactly raw food is—and isn’t—and how to integrate it into your diet
•How to avoid the all-or-nothing pitfall: you can eat some cooked foods, you can eat some foods partially cooked, and you don’t have to deprive yourself
•Why raw food is not just for vegetarians or vegans—Carol eats meat, and so can you
•The differences between cooked and raw vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, and what they mean for you
•An ease-in approach to eating raw, and how to eat raw in restaurants

In addition, Carol answers frequently asked questions and offers forty simple recipes for every meal, from light dishes such as Gazpacho and Lentil Salad to entrees including Tuna Tartare and Spaghetti al Pesto and even desserts like Pumpkin Pie and Apple Tart with Crème Anglaise—rounding out a thorough, accessible, and eminently compelling case why in the raw is the best way to eat.

Carol Alt gives direction to this “eating raw” lifestyle change! by Dotti
Carol does a great job of giving variety to the “eating raw” world with all her recipes and tips. It’s not an easy lifestyle change to implement but with her help it’s going more smoothly.

hungry for more by wolfie
I did like this book and enjoyed Carol Alt’s honesty. However, I wanted more information. The intention of this book is to be a beginners guide to a raw food lifestyle and that is exactly what it is. I finished and was very excited, however I still didn’t know how to start and had to go find another book. But I will still recommend it b/c it held my interest and I think Alt has good intentions.

An Interesting Overview by Milarepa
Carol shares her own experience with diet and her transition to eating raw food and this is interesting reading. However, there isn’t much here in the way of practical advice on eating raw food so you’ll need a better guide if you want to learn how to do it.

excellent by k
Very well written, very easy to read, conversational style. Considering that this educational book is written by a model, Carol Alt has taken just the right tone and approach.

I am very, very glad that raw dairy, fish, and meat are included. I love dairy and have been consuming raw milk for a few months now, and despite the price (!) I’m sticking with it. If you’ve ever been irregular, drink 2 glasses per day and see the difference.

I am slowly adding more raw foods to my diet after having eliminated most processed foods. I just finished Eating in the Raw and I started reading The Raw 50. I am probably about 10 years younger than Carol Alt and if I didn’t have other health reasons for the switch, I’d go raw just to look that wholesome at 50 years of age!!

She is clearly genuinely interested in helping people live healthier and enjoying life. It made me wonder how many of the ‘perfect’ looking stars must be eating raw as well.
