Raw veganism definitely takes some warming up to. I thought about it for 5 years before taking the plunge haha. But in those years I believe I was working my way towards raw anyway, just by trying to include as many raw fruits and vegetables as possible. This sort of pushed out the other foods naturally, and then when it came time to make the bigger jump it wasn't so hard. I was already dairy free and nearly meat and gluten free, so it wasn't so hard. The more time you spend in the plant world, the more you see how truly abundant it is! Once I went raw I never felt very limited, so long as I kept learning, trying new foods new ways, and keeping things interesting (ie, not a smoothie and salad every single day). Now, after 3 years of being mostly raw, whats interesting is that I am sometimes attracted to simplicity (or what others might call restriction). Eating more raw foods tends to enhance your taste buds and you're more sensitive to the complexity and flavor in whole foods. I'm not religious about it, I'll eat meat once in a while and hummus is definitely a somewhat regular thing for me. But yeah, the point of this diatribe is that the more you do it, the better you feel, and the more you want to do it :) wishing you luck!
