Hello + Welcome.

Haven’t heard about raw food yet? You will. So many people are discovering this amazing lifestyle thank in no small part to celebrity fans such as Jason Mraz, Demi Moore and Natalie Portman.
I was stressed, overweight and tired all the time and had no idea that it was all caused by what I placed on my fork. Raw is as gourmet as it comes with delicious recipes ranging from exquisite gnocchi with cream sauce and spicy Thai spring rolls to a decadent chocolate torte or ginger flan.

PS. Just remember it’s impolite to lick the plate.

And Now For Something Completely Different!







AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

Ok. Ok. I KNOW what you are going to say, “we just began a 365-day raw challenge.” But, there has been a slight change in plans. I was watching a video yesterday someone preparing easy (NOT GOURMET) raw foods. Basically just juicing and blending whole foods. Then they went on and on about how they were cheating in this one recipe and “treating himself” by adding some dried dill!?!? 

Wait...WHAT??? 
They are kidding right? It proceeded to go on and on (and on) about how much cleaner and better they feel eating this way as opposed to dare I say a "SAD" version of raw. I already feel pretty darn spectacular, almost giddy. I'm not sure how I would do feeling “THAT” much better? 

Well, hmph. 
So I have decided to see if they are completely full of hooey, or if they have a point. It’s not that I eat a lot of bad stuff, but I do enjoy dried herbs, dried fruits, maple syrup, etc.

Sooooo, the next 30 days will be interesting...whole foods, fresh herbs, etc. None of the so-called "cheats" I will be hopefully writing an article about my experience. So stay tuned...

  1. I am really interested in this experiment. I've been wondering the same thing about my own diet. I eat about a 90% raw diet with some things like maple syrup and nama shoyu. But wonder. I'm thinking of taking this challenge with you just to see.

    Thanks for a great magazine, keep up the good work!

  2. So far, so good. I haven't noticed a huge difference in energy levels or anything like that. But I have lost a few pounds. The project continues...
