I was asked what I thought of powdered wheatgrass. So today I decided to talk about powdered greens in general– what I think of them. I prefer fresh greens, fresh wheatgrass juice, etc.. I will take anything fresh over the powdered stuff, but I do feel there is a place for the powdered greens. So today I talk about when I use the powdered greens, what to look out for when buying a product, and when it could actually come in handy.

I received an email yesterday asking my why this person could never feel full after drinking a large smoothie (like 4 cups of smoothie!) compared to when this person ate cooked food and meats. This comes up a lot when people are transitioning to raw foods and no matter what they eat they don’t feel satisfied and don’t have that full feeling they get from cooked foods, or that they feel hungry again after an hour or two.
Today I give a few suggestion to help feel fuller, plus also ways to slowly transition to more raw foods and adjustments you can make to have a healthier diet.
I am asked by a lot by people starting out on the raw food diet why they are lacking energy. The main reason people have problems with the raw food diet is either they aren’t eating enough or their diet isn’t balanced. Today i talk about some of the ways to ensure you are eating correctly and where to get your calories and energy from.
I received an email last night with a great question! I was asked how a person can re-motivate themselves to get back on a raw food diet when everyone surrounding this person is eating junk food and doing fine. Why is it some people do well on processed sugary food and others are way too sensitive and feel terrible on that type of food.
We can all agree that fresh fruits & vegetables can get expensive, especially fresh organic fruits & vegetables!! Over time I’ve figured out ways to save money and not be spending a fortune on my food– it takes a little creativity and some investigation into local merchants that can sell you food at a better price and being creative in the foods you buy and what you do with them. In today’s video I give you some tips that have helped me!
