Raw Radiant Health

Lately I’ve been receiving so many emails from people getting into a raw food diet– I love it, it makes me sooooooooo happy!! So today i decided to talk a little about what to expect when you first go on a raw food diet. Will you have some sort of detox reaction, what will that be like, for how long…? Its nice to have some sort of guideline as to what will happen and all the great things to look forward to as well.. we love weight loss, clarity, even moods, deep sleep and vibrant energy– all of which come with a raw food diet!!

It always freaks me out when people talk about cutting food groups out of their diet, like ‘no more nuts,’ ‘gotta cut down on the fruit.’ I hear this a lot and it upsets me because already the raw food diet can seem quite limiting compared to other diets, and them suddenly people start talking about limiting it even more!!!! Oi!! We all need to be reminded that food is our Friend. Food is created by nature to nourish and sustain us- food is created to eat and to enjoy!!
