- Hi! My name is Lissa, and my husband and I are getting into the raw foods lifestyle down here, and its fun but we are always trying to find people that are trying to do the same in this unhealthy world!
Here is my first few Raw meals! Fun and easy stuff! Loved it! The second part of the video is us at the beach close to our home in Deerfield Beach, Florida Today as the hurricane breezed by Cuba!!!
So here is some more to tell ya....
We never were able to have children, but I am the very PROUD Godmother (mark Godfather) of two ADORABLE children Jeremy and Sabrina who also happen to be my lttle cousins, so we celebrated her Birthday recently with a Beautiful RAW Key Lime Pie which went over very well i must say for people that never ate raw, they woofed! LOL... So here's my montage to the loves our our lives! Enjoy!!! Unfortunately they moved to Orlando, so I only get to see them a few times a year so when i do, i always get pix while i can!!!
OH and check out Sabrina's little Miami Dolphins cheerleader outfit I got her! Suits her well doesn't it??? LOL
I figured I would add a bit more of WHY i went raw, and my journey...
I have always had an intolerance to cheese and milk even as a girl, but not knowing any better and having non vegetarian parents who were amazing cooks but not the "healthiest" of cooks, i was accustomed to eating both HUNGARIAN and SPANISH foods... (dad's hungarian and mom spanish), so i really had the best of both worlds, the latin american cuisine and the Eastern European cuisine ( i tweaked my fathers hungarian cucumber salad, and its still delish!)... Back in 2005 after my father died of Leukemia (job related), with all of the stress of having to take care of mom and making sure she was alright, my eating habits were mainly of the fast food kind... Well one morning i woke up around the Holidays bloated with pain like I have never experienced before!!! I went to the doc who told my Husband to rush me to the emergency room because I was so backup up I might not make it through the next night!~ Well there I was December 29th in the Emergency room at 45 saying "how did i get here"??? I was so scared that I vowed to find a healthier way as to not end up here again, so my search started to get back to eating healthy again! (my first round with health foods started about ten years ago, but somehow we got back into the SAD way of eating)... I started with the "master Cleanse" so no food for a whole TEN days! OY! I was doing it with my husband and fellow raw fooder Amanda, and together we somehow got through it, but it wasn't easy i tell you!!! Well that started me off on eating properly as it cleansed my pallette to start fresh, so thats what we did, and with the exception of Sushi every once in awhile we stayed mainly vegetarian i guess PESCO vegetarian, but still didn't have the energy that I knew I had in me, so we started back at the Gym again four months ago after taking an eight month break, lol... and Im happy to say we started eating RAW about three weeks ago, and except for the prep work which im sure i will get used to, i have dropped another dress size, and down to my size eight which even with working out 4-6 times a week would probably not have accomplished without this new way of eating! I read somewhere that raw food automatically lets you lose weight if you are too heavy and gain weight if you are too thin to your body's correct size, so I figured what to i have to lose???

WHY GO RAW???
here is a great reason! I got this from raw bliss
Why Eat Raw Food?
Living foods are the key to our health and longevity. They allow our bodies to perform as they were meant to. Our bodies have evolved over a four million year period. For 3,950,000 of those years we ate only raw, living foods. It is only recently that we have begun eating cooked food. When we look at other mammals in nature, we do not see any significant incidence of the diseases that have become pervasive in humans. No cancer… Continue

Wow Id like to hear more on this from other people as well. I am not sure where to get info on things like this either- I just know my personal experience with a low carb diet. I still believe in low carb for the most part but plant based live foo...
That is a good point Angus. I have found that a lot of fundamentalist religions accuse everyone else of worshiping the devil and it like a blind hysteria- like all these other people have a black bible in their house and secretely worship a statue...
That's brilliant Angus, thanks....this will keep me busy for a while :)

Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.
First there'sDr . J. Tilden's book on the cause of disease. Toxemia Explai...

What other book can you recommend Angus?...staying with those kinda ideas, living in alignment with nature, natural hygiene, fruit diets, fasting (or anyone else :).
You know, I'm aware that we made some groundbreaking discoveries in recent years ...
I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...
