Raw Food Transition Coaching
AND HOW YOU CAN BECOME A RAW FOOD COACH/TRAINER OR RAW FOOD CHEF
I have been living a high raw food lifestyle since 2002. I say 'high raw' because while the majority of time my diet is 100% raw, I do occassionally eat some cooked vegan foods, mostly steamed vegetables, and mostly in the winter months. I have not been to a medical doctor, not take a prescription drug or over the counter drug since I started on this path. Most importantly I have not been sick during this period either. All of the colds, flu bugs, etc. that my friends, family members and strangers around me get.. I do not. This is a direct result of the living foods lifestyle that I live. I used to be that person.. the one who "catches" all of the colds, flu bugs, etc. I suffered for years with severe sinusitis, migraines, and yeast infections. After being very seriously ill, drugged by conventional medicine for years and eventually diagnosed with 'so-called' incurable Fibromalgia, I am happy to report that I reversed that, and I did it naturally.
In 2008, after having personally lived this lifestyle for the past 5 1/2 years, I started teaching raw food classes off line to help others learn how to incorporate more raw foods into their diet. For information on my next introduction to raw foods class held in Rensselaer, Indiana (north western Indiana) click here.
When I first started on the raw food diet, at the instruction of a licensed nutritionist, I was extremely ill. In 2002/2003 the information about raw foods on the internet was rather slim. There was of course David Wolfe, Dr. Cousens, Dr. Graham, Dr. Sniadich, Shazzie (with a fairly new site), Brenda Cobb, all the 'major' names in the raw food industry.. but there was nothing out there like there is today. The reason it has spread like wildfire is because when people adjust their diets to this lifestyle and they do it properly, it works!
Today there are numerous personal web sites of individuals who, because of the success of their own personal raw food lifestyle, a raw have went on to become raw food coaches, raw food personal trainers, raw food consultants and raw food chefs. Before hiring any raw food coach, consultant, or trainer I suggest you do your research and check their qualifications.
