Going raw "Diana style" is a treat your body will never forget. I went raw immediately - the very next meal - after meeting Diana in 2008. I could not have imagined how good Diana's raw recipes, combined with her practically trademark brand of inspiration, could make me feel. I went from 180 to 160 pounds in just a few months, felt amazing, slept better and had more energy than ever before. I know it's hard to believe, but true! Many around me that witnessed the transformation wanted to get started, but felt immediate stress wondering what they would eat, how they could do it, etc. Diana's new book makes it easy. It's not just the delicious and easy-to-make recipes, but a great approach to getting the most from a raw diet and lifestyle. Diana's inspiration can be felt in every aspect, word and page of the book. - you'll be surprised at what a difference that can make. Get it!
Love, Love, Love

The Raw Gourmet Review

The Raw Gourmet

Whether you're just looking to add more fruits and vegetables into your food program, are transitioning into becoming vegetarian or going more into raw foods, this is THE book for you.
It's got great photos, sections on; the basics including a guide to using the book and ten raw food kitchen essentials so you can prepare a meal within 20 minutes of arriving home; breakfast; juices and blended drinks; fundamental flavors including soups, sauces, dressings, etc.; entrees and desserts. There is a section on sprouting, food combining, a 3-week menu plan; special occasion menu suggestions, sources and grocery guide.
In the grocery guide, Nomi explains foods which some people may not be familiar with and what they may be used for. Most of the ingredients are common and familiar to most people or, if not, can be substituted for those that are.
In the sources section, she tells where to get many of the ingredients included in the recipes. Living in California, I've found I can get most of the ingredients at my local "natural" (many of the foods I wouldn't classify as natural) foods store, but for someone living far from these sources, it's nice to know where to go. I and my friends have purchased from a couple of these places and found the service and quality of foods to be excellent.
I would suggest that if you don't have one, the minimum to get to assist in making many of these recipes is a good food processor and a good blender. You can always upgrade as you become more creative. Nomi also lists sources for dehydrators, juicers and blenders. I purchased the ones she recommends before I knew about this book and I agree with her assessments.
Nomi was introduced to raw foods over 10 years ago by a holistic physician. At first she was eating about 50% of her foods raw and eventually became sincere about eat raw foods. She "said good-bye" to fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, mood swings, allergic sinusitis, digestive disorders, including acid reflux and candida. You can see why she is a raw foods advocate.
If you're looking for a good, all-purpose book, I highly recommend The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon

Conscious Eating Review

Conscious Eating
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is one of the best health books I've ever read, no question about it. It combines pretty much every diet fad you've ever heard about into a raw, living food diet.
In this book, Cousens teaches us how to follow the Ayurvedic principles through a 80-90% raw food diet. He also teaches us how to individualize our diets for our metabolic body types. This is one of the only books I know that teaches how to individualize diet for a vegetarian.
The book covers religion, meditation, toxins in our environment, and has a nice living foods recipe section in the back of the book. The nice thing about it, is that with the recipes, he doesn't try to offer dishes that are similiar to those which are cooked. I see a lot of vegetarian recipe books doing that. "Try our delicious all vegan pizza!" and of course, it tastes no better than a branch off of the Maple tree in my back yard. These recipes offer new tastes.
I like a particular section in the book where Cousens tries to explain the logic behind why people think he looks much more unhealthy now than when he did when he was a bulky college football player. We live in such an obesce society, that someone of a healthy weight appears too slim, or unhealthy. Because Cousens doesn't have a pot belly, and sagging male breasts, many people say he looks "thin and puny". This book teaches us that through living foods, we can sculpt and shape our bodies pretty much any way we'd like. He chooses not to be muscular anymore, because he feels he has no need for 30 extra pounds of muscle. Steven Arlin on the other hand, is 230 lbs, and likes to feel big and strong.
All in all, this book takes you on a journey through the fascinating world of raw, living foods. It could change your way of thinking.

Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow Review

Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I based my purchase of this book on the reviews listed here; however, I fear they may not be a good representation of this culinary book.
I agree that the book is full of beautifully photographed and mouth-watering delights and include detailed recipes to exotic looking meals.
My perception from a raw foodist point of view is that whist these raw food recipes require no cooking, please expect a lot of preparation time, particularly days in advance. Many dishes require a dehydrator, which apart from being an expensive piece of equipment, does require dehydrating for 6-12 hours.
There are also uses of heated foods (such as maple syrup) but the authors suggest strict raw foodists to try other ingredients. I also have a concern with the use of a lot of salt (the authors say they love the coarse nature of it in their recipes) and nut butters, which both ultimately are not a good thing to have in large proportions, whether it be via cooked or raw means. There is also mention of a lot of specific types of vegetables and greens, which is not easy to get a hold of by the general public.
The book is certainly written by talented artists of food, but from my point of view, a lot of the recipes (but not all)are beyond the typical householder.
If you are wanting to spend some creative time in the kitchen, finding exotic ingredients, then this exploration will lead you into culinary passion. But if you're looking for raw food dishes to whip up after work, you will have limited choices. I hope this gives the book a more rounded overview for those intending to purchase.

Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine Review

Rainbow Green Live-Food Cuisine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I normally don't write reviews at all, but this book certainly deserves one. The highlights:
* It doesn't consists of all these sweet recipes but has great tasting alternatives (I could never get into all that sweet stuff); there are no dates, bananas, etc., and there are some good explanations as to why
* The recipes don't require a lot of strange ingredients of which I never even heard before; ingredients are easily found
* You don't have to plan days ahead of time to just produce one dish; a lot of it can be put together quickly
* It does have its share of nuts, but for some reason I don't resent that here as I did in most of my other books; they don't seem to be everywhere
* There are NO wheat recipes (yeah!); I'm terribly allergic to that... Instead there are lots of recipes with flax seeds, and there is a very good explanation as to why wheat/grains are not used.
I ordered two other books at the same time I got this one and I already owned two raw food books, but this one is the only one I use. The recipes appeal to me much more than the ones in the other books. There still are tools that are necessary for the raw food kitchen, like a dehydrator, juicer, high-speed blender, etc., but there is a section in the beginning that outlines which ones they recommend.

Light Agave Nectar Syrup 1 Gallon (100 % Pure Raw Cetified Organic) Review

Light Agave Nectar Syrup 1 Gallon (100 % Pure Raw Cetified Organic)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this agave nectar for all of my baking, and just to eat raw mixed with peanut butter. It's better tasting and better for you than processed cane sugar, which is all sucrose. I'm definitely going to buy this product again and would recommend it to anyone who asked about it.
It might be good to add to this product's description that it is in an HDPE container, as I wasn't sure while ordering it what plastic it was going to come in (HDPE doesnt leech bpa, an endocrine disrupter, like PETE. and doesnt leech cancer causing chemicals like PS.). Other than that, awesome product for baking or to eat raw, especially if you're looking for a vegan sweetener that is sucrose free, because sucrose causes brain inflammation.

Dr. Dunner Sambu 5 Day Cleansing Kit 5 Days Review

Dr. Dunner Sambu 5 Day Cleansing Kit 5 Days
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have done the Sambu 10-day deep cleanse every year for 15 years, sometimes twice in a year. The 10-day cleanse omits all solid foods and you subsist on what's in the kit. There is the elderberry juice sweetened with honey that you mix with water, the tea, the fiber you mix with the juice in place of meals, etc. The first couple of days are hard as in headaches from detoxing the blood and kidneys, but by day 4, I'm feeling so good about what I've accomplished and no lack of energy. I recommend starting on a Friday so you have the weekend to adjust and observe how you feel. By Monday, you'll be back at work and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. By day 10, I feel so good my sense of smell in particular is heightened, it's a good jump start to a weight loss plan. You start back into solid foods again slowly, and the flavors really jump out at you, you can use less spice/salt/sugar without feeling like you are sacrificing. I lose an average of 12-15 pounds each time. There are modified versions of this diet that allow you to eat food and there are 3-day kits and 5-day kits if the 10 day seems intimidating.

Garden of Life - Perfect Food Raw Organic, 240 vegan capsules Review

Garden of Life - Perfect Food Raw Organic, 240 vegan capsules
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have taken several of the Garden of Life products and trust them wholeheartedly... so it did not surprise me when I tried this one and could feel it within hours drinking plenty of water throughout the day (several quarts). And I only took four capsules to start with! (Ya know we've all hear the horror stories... detoxing is not always pretty!! lol). But... not to worry, this was great... now, I'm not suggesting you drink gallons of water, but for the best benefits of gettin' all of that detrimental 'stuff' out... the more you 'help' this product do it's job, the better you will feel, faster... your gut... AND your wallet will thank you!!
I agree that the taste is not exactly like biting into a big 'ol juicy bacon double cheeseburger... but c'mon... we're adults... and, besides... the taste of these capsules is gone as soon as you wash them down.
Let's be honest, living life on 'auto-pilot' (doin' what's easy... tastes good, etc) has gotten us to this place in our health (and if you're like me, it's probably a less than desirable location, right?!?) Well... to change things... we're gonna have to consciously make a few different choices... so... let's put on our big kid underwear... and take back our health. And this is a great product to help get started... (MUCH less of an investment than buyin' a juicer AND all of those fruits and veggies... AND all of the trial and error finding out which combinations you can actually swallow... with ALL of the benefits!) Choose to be blessed!! Lanette : )

Garden of Life Perfect Food Formula, 600- Grams (60-Servings) Review

Garden of Life Perfect Food Formula, 600- Grams (60-Servings)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First I have to say that I have tried over 5 different greens products. Although some of them have been quite tasty and some hard to swallow this one is in a league of its own. Extensive search for the best ingredient has lead me to try this one. The sprouted and raw ingredients were unique and hard to pass up, and prime shipping was an added bonus. But honestly my wife and I do not know if we will reorder, its that bad tasting. The first time I tried it I was shocked how bad it was and actually gagged on it halfway through the cup, up it came all over my work clothes, its that bad. I found like others that juice masks it well, although this is really not the most healthy and pretty counter productive. The healthy and best method I found so far is a mixture of 75% water 25% lemon juice, masks it pretty well but it still a pinch your nose and down it experience.

Green Foods Corporation Veggie Magma Review

Green Foods Corporation Veggie Magma
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Dr Hagiwara was a scientist who set about to discover what the healthiest food on the planet was. He decided on young green barley leaves, and he patented a way to turn them into powder. They're an incredably nutrient-rich food.
It's much healthier to take a supplement that's an actual food rather a chemical isolate. Your body is digesting a food as it should, instead of getting an unnatural "hit" of an isolated vitamin or mineral. Green Magma is probably the best product you could buy at the health food store.
Or it was. Veggie Magma is the basic product with a number of vegetable powders added. Admittedly, it's not sweet-tasting like a fruit juice - as you'd expect. It's a little like a cold vegetable soup. It's also not cheap - but that's a reminder that this is a top-end product. Health foods don't get any better than this.

My husband has high cholesterol. He read online last year that wheatgrass juice was a good treatment. We were both skeptical but as we were trying to avoid him taking prescription drugs we gave Dr. Wheatgrass a shot. The results were pretty startling.
In Nov 2006 his LDL (bad cholesterol) was 175. By Jan 2007 it had dropped to 153 through diet and exercise. Then he started the Dr. Wheatgrass and a month later, in February, his LDL was down to 127! Granted we were attacking this problem from a few angles, so it's impossible to say precisely how much of the drop in LDL is down to the Dr. Wheatgrass alone. But it's clear to us that it definitely helped.
For those wondering, natural wheatgrass juice as provided by this product is supposed to help the metabolism, reduce LDL cholesterol and build the immune system, among other credits. Google it and learn for yourself how great this stuff is. My best friend, a raw food chef, swears by it.
If you don't have access to a health food store that offers fresh wheatgrass juice then in our opinion you've little to lose -- except the price of a bottle -- by trying Dr. Wheatgrass.
