Succeeding on the raw food diet: Discovering the ease, simplicity and joy of raw foods
When I first heard about the raw food diet, I thought it was ridiculously extreme. But I was used to doing pretty extreme things in the name of beauty. I always wanted to be beautiful and was prepared to starve, eat sand or roll in mud if that's what it took to get there.
I started getting into raw foods as just another diet, another way to lose weight, another way to try and be 'good enough'. Sure I wanted to be healthy as well, but that came in FAR behind just wanting to LOOK GOOD! If I could look good now, who cared if my whole body collapsed in a decade or so, at least I'd be a good looking corpse right? What I didn't expect from a raw food diet was to heal my eating disorders, release all the guilt around eating (and enjoy eating truly HUGE amounts), become a better person AND become fabulously healthy, look my best and successfully turn the clock back on aging all at the same time! But this is exactly what happened.
When it comes to the raw food diet, there is a lot of contradictory information out there. There are loads of supplement peddlers and product pushers and it can be very hard to find genuine information. At 35 years young and feeling (and looking) no more than 25, it is my passion to spread the word about how to successfully follow a high fruit, satisfying and joyful raw food diet, perfecly in line with nature's design, eating pure foods direct from nature - no expensive supplements or products required.
My husband Jaye and I have been on this journey of vegan and raw foods since 2005. In that time we have said goodbye to allergies and allergy medications, constipation, indigestion, fatigue, headaches, muscle cramps and leg pain, colds and flu and chronic shoulder pain, not to mention PMS and endometriosis for me. A raw food diet has done wonders for our health as well as bringing us closer as a couple.
So ,let's get started!This site is packed to the brim with free information, recipes, ideas and resources (not to mention plenty of before and after pics!) to show you how to thrive on a raw food diet and become the best version of yourself you can possibly be.

I have to say this website is the most comprehensive, well written and interesting I have come across on my raw search. I just wanted to tell you what a fab job you are doing and how much of an inspiration your website has been. Well done! Megan Thank you for being such an inspiration. I love your recipe book, it's helped me so much with my transition to 80/10/10! Also the videos are awesome! Helen I am just writing to thank you for a very inspirational web site. This diet is fantastic and is helping me recover from chronic M.E. In fact it is probably the only thing (apart from being vegan and organic) that has really helped. I am now gardening and cycling. Anyway, thank you. Wonderful stuff! Amanda Your website is INCREDIBLE. I just bought and downloaded your recipe ebook and I am so excited. I have been struggling with Chron's disease for years and finally discovered raw food. I have been eating a raw food diet for a little over a week and already almost ALL of my symptoms are gone. Your website has completely opened my eyes to a much more fun, enjoyable and delicious way of eating raw foods than I ever even realized was possible. I am having banana pudding for breakfast tomorrow and I can't even explain how excited I am! Thank you both very much. Your website is well put together, and very navigable. I love the recipes, advice and tips you have throughout it. It's amazing. I've even gotten my carnivorous boyfriend so excited he wants to make the "sushi wraps" tomorrow. Kristin Just been looking through your website and want to say what a fantastic job you've done with it. The recipes are to die for, the stories are touching. Your passion, creativity and great personality comes through on every page. It's my favourite raw food website, for sure. You consolidate all the information anyone ever needs to know about the raw vegan lifestyle in one beautifully presented website. Well-done! I've been recommending it to people and they get hooked one by one - brilliant. You helped me so much on my search for the best diet and this is something to strive for definitely. I always come back to it whenever I am fighting my own diet demons. Natalia Your site is a great inspiration to me. I have been raw for a few months now and I feel great, I'm losing weight and so many other good things have come my way. Jose |
