David,
You'll find that we all have our own favorite ways of banishing the
cooked food cravings. Some succeed, some fail, some find a middle road
of 10-20% cooked, the rest raw. I favor the cold turkey (er, cold
cucumber) approach, which might require a lot of discipline for 4-6
months; then it gets a lot easier. It's easier still if you could start
out by fasting for a week or two, which will clear a lot of sludge out of
your system and greatly reduce future cravings. I've been nearly 100%
raw (99+%) for 4 years now; and it's been so long I've practically
forgotten what cooked foods taste like. I have no desire to eat them,
and my body is very grateful that i no longer poison it on a daily basis.
But the first 5 months were torture. So all I can say is, go at it and
hang in there. Mark off 6 months on the calendar and pledge to be all
raw until then. Eat only organically grown produce, and as little food
as you can.
P.S. Your animal farm is quite a managerie. Beware: There are certain
folks on this list, known as Instinctos, that you shouldn't let near your
pets. They're salivating right now.
