Hi Matt, I am the mother of 12 ecildrhn and currently in process of changing our family’s diet to raw. I have purchased several raw cookbooks including some from the Boutenko family. The problem that I am having is that I am seriously disorganized and desperately need comprehensive, step by step daily balanced meal plans (breakfast, lunch and dinner on the same page(s)) that will fit a large family budget. Through much research, I am learning that an alkaline diet is the healthiest type of diet. I also know that even good fats are not good for you when they are over-consumed yet there is a huge emphasis on the fattier foods in the rew cookbooks that I have purchased thus far. Your help in this matter would be tremendously appreciated!I need a diet that will not only help our weight to balance out properly, but give me and my family the athletic stamina and endurance we need. I also need one that contains recipes for making your own protein powders if those are necessary for athletes. Can you please help me or at direct me to someone who can?
