What is Intermittent Fasting? Y’all, don’t run when you see the word “fasting.” I’m going to give you a few reasons to consider intermittent fasting, a type of fasting anyone can do, to improve your overall health. I am not talking about food deprivation. I am not talking about fad cleanses that require you starve yourself. No juicing needed here. I’m talking about consuming the same amount of calories and food that you currently eat, but only eating these calories between a shorter window of time. How does this work? I eat breakfast no earlier than 10 a.m. and I end my meals with dinner at 5:30 p.m. When I do this, any time I spend not eating outside of that window, my body is working to digest the food from earlier and rejuvenate my cells so that I am light and bright for the next day. You give your [...]

The Raw Vegan Plan: Keep it simple

By | 2018-04-02T01:04:53+00:00 April 2nd, 2018|Detox, Inspiration, More recipes, Programs, Smoothies|Comments Off on The Raw Vegan Plan: Keep it simple

Get in the game and get your low fat raw vegan plan going. So many people come to me feeling completely overwhelmed after trying to jump into a vegan or low-fat raw vegan diet without any real support or education. It’s easy to get caught up in the concept: “Well, everything I eat should be whole food and raw, so I will just stick to that—the basics.” I applaud that. And, yes you should stick to the basics—just naked, beautiful raw food. However, life is messy—good or bad—and things always come up that can derail all of your best intentions for maintaining raw vegan. Despite how simple the actual ingredients seem, our lives are a bit complicated. The Vegan Diet: Do Different. Get Different. We all have a default mode. During times of joy, crisis, celebration, mourning—you name it—we have our own coping skills. For some, it’s forgetting to [...]

Tip it back! It's good for ya. Hey, Hey, Y’all. After all these years as a raw vegan, one of the major constants in my daily routine is to drink warm lemon water first thing in the morning and throughout the day. I firmly believe this ritual has served as the foundation for much of my success in health. Tip back this zesty, nourishing blend of warm water and lemon (I often add 1 to 2 inches of peeled ginger per lemon) first thing in the morning to balance your pH and alkalize your system. This sets the tone for how your body will act and feel for the rest of the day. Here are five major benefits of warm lemon water (but, there are so many more): Warm lemon water supports digestion. Warm lemon water, first thing in the morning, is a must for re-hydration and flushing out [...]

Turning to raw vegan living transformed my life. Hey, Hey, Y’all. Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics. I am reminded daily by my energy levels, love of life, and health that raw vegan living is the foundation of my personal success. I put together a quick list of my favorite reasons to go raw vegan. Here are just a few! I like that you can control all of your ingredients. You know exactly where they come from, how they will charge up your body and boost immunity, and that you’re getting everything you need and nothing you don’t. Additives and all that other junk infused into so-call “food” are eliminated when we work with what grows from the earth. It’s a beautiful thing. More nutrients every time. Cooking food depletes vitamins, destroys digestive enzymes, and damages proteins and fats. You know (with every morsel) that you are [...]

Dealing with Detox

By | 2018-02-15T17:19:47+00:00 January 30th, 2018|Detox, Inspiration, More recipes|Comments Off on Dealing with Detox

Detox—It takes years to accumulate toxins and chemicals; Give your body time to heal. If you're living in the modern world—which you are—You are subject to hundreds of thousands of chemicals and toxins throughout your life. Whole, raw foods are essential to feeling on top of the world and living a truly healthy life; however, when you’re moving from a cheeseburger a day to a plant-based diet (or even if you’re transitioning from vegan to raw), it is realistic to expect you’ll experience some detox symptoms. But don’t let that stop you! Detox, or the fear of it, can keep a lot of people from moving forward with a healthy whole-food raw diet. In so many cases, people begin to cleanse with great intentions, but as symptoms start to rear their ugly heads, they turn back rather than move through to the other side. Our bodies are made up [...]
