About Me:

I'm Debbie Took and I run RawforLife, raw food coaching service based in Reading, Berks, UK .

(AND....APOLOGIES TO ANYONE WHO'S ASKED ME SOMETHING IN A THREAD AND I HAVEN'T REPLIED - I DO REPLY TO ALL QUESTIONS I NOTICE BUT OFTEN MISS SOME :-) (Do private message me if you'd particularly like an answer.)

Coming up to two years raw, I'm high-fruit, 100% raw and in general more in tune with the writings of Dr Doug Graham/Natural Hygiene than any other school of thought.

However, my diet differs significantly from that of 80/10/10/T C Fry. For example, I include (as well as lots of fruit, leaves and vegetables) raw sprouted wheat, sea vegetables, and lately (I’ve alternated between raw vegan and raw vegetarian), a little raw goats’ dairy and honey.
Sometimes I eat simply, but at other times I enjoy ‘transition’/gourmet raw meals (and making them for others).

To anyone whose head is spinning from the conflicting instructions of ‘guru’s, my advice is to concentrate on eating RAW - that is, foods undamaged by heat - rather than worry about whether you should or should not be eating raw food X or Y. Thousands have seen their health transformed on all sorts of raw food diets, whether high-fat, low-fat, high-fruit, low-fruit, etc.

I publish a free monthly e-zine (articles, recipes), available at www.rawforlife.com. It’s not just a ‘salesletter’.

There are also lots of articles on raw food at the RawforLife blog at www.debbietookrawforlife.blogspot.com.

Rejoining gi2mraw after a two-month break, a BIG hello to all those who knew me before, and especially to everyone I met at Raw Spirit in September.
