Sorry I have not written sooner, but work has been busy and at the end of the day i have no energy. This week was tough and I am sick so that is not helping. i have my green juice!

So Chapter 2 is really about getting to know what your body needs and how to go about that the raw way. What i remember most about chapter 2 is calorie density and that you can pretty much eat as many vegetables as you want and have the calories you need. You cant do that with cooked foods and junk foods. There is also a section on what foods and drinks to avoid. 

I love coffee and do not tend to cut that out of my life, i am also a social drinker and I have been a little more conscious on what beers and wines I am drinking. 

  Chapter 3 is about nutrients, ways to get protein the raw and vegan way. Eat a rainbow of vegetables and fruits and you will have most of the nutrients that you need. Vitamin B12 is something everyone needs, it is great to take a supplement. i want to find a gummy. i cannot take any type of vitamin without vomiting for some reason. Get enough sunshine as well. Fermenting is also great! Probiotics are a great think to have in your body.

I am going into part 2 now in the Raw Food For Dummies Book and I am excited to keep learning! My goal is not be sick. Lots of veggies,green juice and water….ok I am ignoring water right now, but I am trying.

ImageRecently a new book has come out in the Raw Food World. Raw Food For Dummies!! By the amazing women and her husband that run Living Light Cherie Soria and Dan Ladermann. I have been waiting to get my hands on a copy. I am not new to the raw food world, but I can be a dummie at times 😉 Just skimming through the book I can tell this is a great book for beginners as well as people that have been having this lifestyle for a while. I am really excited to read it chapter by chapter. It also includes over 100 recipes covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, and snacks.

We sell them here at Living Light, and we are the only place to get a signed copy as well. Amazon also sells this book as well.
