food is medicine that heals the body
What is raw food? Simply put, it means meals made with fresh, whole, organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds that have not been heated above 105 degrees. Raw foods are rich in water, which keeps your skin hydrated and more youthful looking, as well as fiber, which works like a broom to cleanse your digestion and sweep out toxins. Plus, water and fiber fill you up and keep you feeling satisfied longer, so you'll eat less. (Cooking food softens fiber and decreases water content.)
Raw recipes take mere minutes to make and use only whole ingredients that are packed with natural, vibrant nutrients. Void of cholesterol and empty‐calorie fillers like refined sugar and flour, these foods will nourish and delight you with incredible taste.
Start slow. Giving up your favorite cooked foods all at once may feel restrictive, so I recommend eating what you want but supplementing with more whole, fresh, raw foods. Start with what’s called the “gateway” raw food dessert. You’ll feel much healthier finishing a meal with a sugar, egg, and cream‐free dessert. Next, incorporate whole, raw foods into every meal. Because raw fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds fill you up—without weighing you down—a nutrient‐packed smoothie or a veggie‐laden salad often is satisfying enough to be your entire meal.
Begin now. Summer is the ideal time to launch a raw food endeavor—fresh produce is abundant and your body is craving cooling foods. When temperatures drop, make a raw dish, and then warm it in a dehydrator.
Be prepared. Stock your kitchen with assorted nuts and flaxseeds, along with jars of herbs, spices, tahini, and nut butters. As for kitchen appliances, I recommend starting with a blender and a food processor. For delicious raw foods recipes, try our one day raw menu
Imagine eating decadent cobbler, spicy tacos, and lusciously fresh tomato marinara … and losing weight in the bargain. Learn to prepare raw foods and this indulgent health will become reality.
