Hi Everyone!

I am ready to commit to a healthier lifestyle and that includes eating a more well rounded mostly raw diet. I have tried fad diets in the past and am looking for more than that - I want to feel more alive, energetic and in tune with my body. In the past I have been an over eater of just about anything - it's an emotional thing that I am working through - and b/c of that I have gained ~30 pounds in the last 3 years. I am sluggish, my clothes don't fit, my skin is always irritated - I know that all this due to my diet. I have researched many diets but I am looking for a lifestyle change. I want to be healthy, love what I eat and feel good in my skin.

That being said I need some help to get started! I have a juicer but what other kitchen tools are essential? Also, what are some great beginner recipes?! I need variety to help me stay on track. Also, what can I stock my kitchen with that won't go bad in a week (i.e., fruits/veggies).

Thank you in advance. I am trying to gather as much info as possible so this transition can be long term!

THANK YOU!
Best,
Emily (in SF, CALI)

Greetings emilyah check the recipie section for Trive posted an amazing list of wraps they are really easy for beginners other then that ... a juicer is great tool to start with ! juice whatever fruits and veggies you like and find out what combos you like just add little bits at a time an taste often as its easy to throw something way off
