Hi there - just wondering if you all would post your favorite book(s) that talk about the transition to raw, how your body may react.. (yes, I am one who recently asked about bloating) :-)

I have almost all the raw uncook books out there, but none really go into the other physical/emotional issues and give good tips for making a slower transition to 100% raw. I was 100% raw for about 9 months, about a year ago, but slid back into some cooked stuff. Now, I am struggling a bit more physically this time around and it's confusing me. (Not to mention frustrating because I am SO ready to get back on this horse!) My issues: bloating - more so as the day progresses, gnawing pain in the belly button region, a feeling of needing to eat, not being satisfied, etc.) Anyway - sorry to babble but any thoughts or suggestions for reading would be greatly appreciated. I was looking at Matt Monarch's Raw Spirit online, anyone know much about this book?

Thanks a bunch!

Sorry - I've reposted on the appropriate forum. I thought I was on the general talk forum! If the moderator sees this you can delete if you'd like!

I like Matt's book and I'm looking forward to his new one called "Raw Success" that is coming out soon. It helped to fill in the gaps that I felt some of the other books left out.

I think this book would be good [www.amazon.com]. The Raw Food Detox Diet talks about transition a lot and how to do it gradually.
