Lists with This Book. Jun 02, Rebecca Erlewein rated it it was ok. One zteps that I find odd about all these raw food books – including this one – is that they condemn cooked food as toxic, which goes against my common sense.

This author even speaks of ‘addiction’, and if I go by her questionnare, I’m addicted to breathing, going to the toilet and drinking water, too.

Sheesh, where to begin? The explanations of what happens in health and disease and how the body reacts to cooked foods Hm. Many unprovable statements are hauled in as supporting evidence. Anyone who goes back to eating cooked vicotria after trying raw, according to the author is “addicted”. It never occurs to her that maybe raw food is not the answer to everything, or that not every unpleasant reaction to eating raw food folds a “detox”.

Raw food certainly feels good sometimes and has plenty of life force. But this mixture of ‘evidence’ and invention as reasoning for or against anything makes me question how much the author is bending her reality with her beliefs rather than perceiving it directly.

This was four years ago and my husband and I slipped back from a percent raw diet to 20 warm food and 80 percent live raw food.

I have been wondering why I slipped back? I studied my life and realized it was my diet that was causing my humdrum vibration Yes, even a boiled egg, and fish The bottom line is that no one really studied the science of what happens to food when boutenkk heated and our reaction cellular to the chemistry of it.

It seems to cause “degeneration;” the cooked food ages us, vs. And get this, it creates a craving in us that is times stronger than the craving for nicotine for a smoker.

I did not need to question Victoria’s research, because my own body was telling me that raw food makes me feel happier, sexier and gives my mind clarity.

Having seen what the disease had done to extended family members, she sought to find what was best for him. So she started asking everyone who looked healthy what they did. She came across a stranger who only ate raw foods and was willing to share how she did it. So inspirational and another witness that what we put into our mouth is so crucial to our physical and spiritual health. I am going to try out some of these recipes.

12 Steps To Raw Food

I’m not going raw, but reading this book did encourage me to stay mindful and vigilant about what my family and I eat. Every now and then I need the reminder that diet is very important to overall health, and therefore worth the time, money, and effort that it takes to stay on the health track in a very unhealthy food environment.

Bring on the fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. Oct 10, Maria Huyette-arrizza rated it really liked it. This book is extreme. This makes sense when you consider that the author’s personal journey was born out of extreme illness. The biggest takeaway for me is the need to incorporate more of these foods into a standard American diet before cancer or diabetes strike thereby incresing a sense personally responsible for our bodies and learning to trust ourselves.

Blindly entrusting a healthcare provider who will only gain from chronic illness This book is extreme. Blindly entrusting a healthcare provider who will only gain from chronic illnesses is just asking for trouble. These arguments are made very well in this book.
