Transform your fridge

 

You don’t have to give up all the foods you’re used to eating to become more healthy and to start eating raw, organic and live foods. You know the best place to start changing your life and your diet? It’s at the grocery store, of course. Even if you’re at a good weight and pretty healthy, take a tip from dieters. Go shopping with a list and don’t go to the grocery store hungry. Make sure this shopping trip you can resist those Oreos and potato chips.

 

Clean out your refrigerator and your cabinets. Throw out the half-empty bags of snack foods. Put any microwaveable foods in a dark bag and stash them somewhere in the back of the freezer. Out of sight, out of mind.

 

Do stock up on dried fruits and nuts for snacking. Transform your kitchen from a processed food haven to a healthy kitchen. Invest in a good juicer. Clean out those crisper drawers to get them ready for an influx of new organic and raw foods.

 

Load up on fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. If you can’t give up meat and fish, consider getting super fresh tuna that you can just sear and serve with sesame seeds and a small amount of soy sauce. (I’m getting hungry just thinking about this!)

 

Make eating this way fun. Invest in those big, white square dishes that are good for serving sushi. It’s easier to arrange small portions of different foods that way. And getting new white dishes will be symbolic of this new, purer way of eating.  Get some good chopsticks so you can take your time eating. This is really fun!

 

Go to a bookstore and get a cookbook or a food book so you can learn about eating raw foods. Buy a big vase and a bunch of sunflowers to symbolize letting the sun into your diet.

why this is not a fad diet?

  Eating raw fruits and vegetables isn’t the new fad diet, or the new South Beach Diet.   Believe it or not, humans have been eating this way long before they were eating processed junky foods.   We didn’t have access to most types of foods.   We were scavengers, picking fruits and eating vegetables were a delicacy.   Nuts were also eaten for protein.   It was either that or starve.   Humans ate these fruits as is, no additives, no cooking.   One and a half million years ago we learned how to cook.   So for a half million years we ate the food raw, as it was intended.   We are the only animals on the planet that cook their food.   Eating meat doubled the caloric intake of man, which made it easier to hunt and have enough energy to do what needs to be done.     Today, we have access to every type of food we want at our fingertips.   We can order Oolong tea (which must be handpicked on cliffs in china) from the inte...

Christmas Food

  Christmas is a time when we think of family get-togethers and abundance. It is memory lane for most of us, enjoying friends, memorable times and good comfort, traditional foods. But the weeks after the holidays are usually weight gains, health problems from too many sweets and food.     Today white sugar, white flour, dairy products, trans and saturated fats, refined cars and excess calories are on the “no-no” list … and with the holiday times it feels as if the cakes, cookies and candies will become obsolete. And we begin to feel deprived and panic stricken. After all, it is a long-time tradition.   One answer is to make some raw food desserts and take them to get-togethers and family meals. Use nuts, dried fruits, and avocadoes instead of white flour and white sugar. They have a lot of flavor, looks and are good for you. Oh yes … and they are easy to put together.   Jenny Cornbleet has a book out called “Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People”. In it t...
