Product Description
A top nutritionist provides her simple, proven five-level diet plan to safely make the transition to eating raw foods, and to detoxify and achieve a perfect body no matter how you eat now. The raw food craze has taken off, as raw restaurants spring up and celebrities, models, and other fans tout the effects of eating raw. However, many people who are intrigued by raw food simply don't know how to make the transition from what they're eating now, or how to achieve the benefits of eating raw without giving up their lifestyle or the foods they love. Natalia Rose, an in-demand nutritionist, shows how in The Raw Food Detox Diet. Whether your diet is primarily made up of meat and potatoes, or tofu and tempeh, you can incorporate the flavour and lasting health benefits of raw food into your life. Over time, our bodies build up poisons and store waste from food that is not fully eliminated. Raw food helps to detoxify the body by flushing out these poisons and setting us back on a course toward greater energy, clearer skin and shinier hair, and a slim, natural figure. But making the transition to a raw diet too quickly can have negative effects on the body. Instead, the healthier way is to make a gentle change based on your previous diet and current needs. You do not conform to The Raw Food Detox Diet; it conforms to you, and you choose how far you want to go. Whether you're looking to live an all-raw lifestyle, or just to improve your energy and shape while still eating the foods you love, this groundbreaking diet book will energize and inspire you to achieve your goals safely and easily.

Great Book July 4, 2008 Beth (Wilmington DE) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have now been following this "diet" for about a month. I hate to call it a diet because I feel it is a change for life. I am eating raw for breakfast (usually "juice" and fruit, and for lunch as well with a cooked dinner. I have found it to be easy to follow and maintain. I crave the recommended green lemonade in the morning, and have the gazpacho for lunch at least every other day - DELICIOUS. I feel healthy, lean and have a ton of energy. How could anyone argue with eating more fruits and veggies? The food combining takes a little practice and thought, but I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a healthier way of eating with a bonus of shedding pounds!
This book is amazing June 25, 2008 DRBeckham (Kansas, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am new to the world of raw food and if you are too, this book is an excellent place to get started...in fact, it will carry you from where you are currently with your eating all the way to totally raw, if that's where you want to go. A questionnaire will help you decide at which of 5 levels you should start with the program, so don't get freaked out if you are currently subsisting on Big Macs and diet Coke...you don't necessarily have to do a 180 right off the bat. The book is filled with excellent information and rationales as to WHY this is a desireable way to eat, and anyone should be able to ease in to it. The recipes are wonderful, and you won't have to be buying rare, exotic foods in order to make it work. A juicer is recommended, and I bought the one the author suggests. It is amazing. Simply, if you are wanting to explore the world of raw eating, start with this book. I think you will be very pleasantly surprised at how easy it can be to incorporate!
Practical Plan for Changing Your Lifestyle June 23, 2008 Dana Gaither (Atlanta, GA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been trying to go raw for 6 months now, and I continue to mess up. This books offers a practical plan for eating healthy for life. It divides your challenge into achievable goals. If you already feel like you are eating as healthy as you possibly can, then this book is not for you. But if you need improvement (no you may not achieve the greatness of vegans or raw foodist) you will find yourself eating better than before and actually thinking about what you eat and when---without being overwhelmed because you change in steps.
Going Raw June 18, 2008 D. Vining (Arizona) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
From cover to cover this book speaks the truth about our terrible eating habits in America. This is both a very simple and very difficult diet to put into action because it runs counter to what we find readily available in supermarkets and restaurants. Vegans will find it particularly easy to adjust to. It would be helpful to get the whole family on board because you have to "cook" at home to realize the full benefit of the program. It isn't cheap either, but then what is your health worth? If you can follow this plan, you will feel incredibly good, lose weight (if you want to) and probably stave off a multitude of diseases. The author promotes several levels of dietary changes, so it isn't an all or nothing type of program. Even implementing the first level will have long-term health benefits. This is a quick read, so you can start right away.
Lots of rules but definitely gets you regular! June 11, 2008 S. Kellner 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been a vegetarian for the last 3.5 years so started at Level 3 of the detox diet. There are a lot of rules and it's really hard to remember all of them all of the time so I've been picking and choosing what I feel like doing. I'm not following the diet to lose any weight but, in following the basic tenement of not mixing certain food groups together, my digestive system has become slicker than ever. Before starting the regimen, I would go 1-2 times every day. Now I go 3-4 and there's never any straining. A friend of mine who has battled with constipation for a long time also started this diet and is now regular w/ 1 movement every day.
