I got started with my favorite fruits, and then added veggies... I was eating Apples, Peaches, Strawberries for like three days straight (not the best as a diabetic).... Now I am eating mostly celery, spinach, carrots and then adding fruits. I went all in though and got a Blendtec Blender, 9 Tray Excalibur Dehydrator, Juicer (getting a Greenstar Blender soon).... We also join a local farm coop (CSA) and so we get a collection of stuff...

The best advise that I can give is to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Super Simple) and just eat what you like, and replace one meal at a time. I am still only about 50% but I go up to 90% then back down (still fighting my own food demons). So just keep it super simple.

I like a simple kale and avo salad. Get a bunch of Kale (it will get smaller, so use more than you think you want), massage into it, with your hands, olive oil, sea salt, and lemon juice. Then add chunks of avocado and massage again. SO easy. A very quick meal if you need to rush off to a potluck, or just need something filling for dinner in a jiffy.
Greens help cut down on cravings so the more you eat, the easier it is to not eat non-raw stuff. Diff. types of greens make the monotony lesson.
Another great thing is to make a few dressings ahead of time, that way you can just have greens in the fridge and make a salad whenever you're hungry. They last about a week, usually.
I am not so good about too many nuts and dried fruit, but I indulge only when I am tired and have NOTHING. Which is rare.
Feel free to email if you want more tips.
