THE RAW MODEL

This is Anthony the raw model Yes not the most appealing photo's but it's the before raw food and after one month of being on raw food. I have just listened to an interview with Anthony and the more I listen the more I am impressed and want to find out more about the benefits. See I have always wanted to become a vegetarian and for almost a year when I was living in Cairns I never ate meat. My mother came to visit me and nearly fell over she said I looked sick. Next thing I knew she cooked up a pot of beef stew and I ate it. The next day I felt fantastic and realized that I need to either eat meat or substitute correctly.

Here are the main points of the interview:

1. After only a few weeks of eating raw food he was going to bed at 2am and waking at 6am and

feeling totally energised (I need that)

2. Lost 15 pounds in the first few weeks and felt when he walked into a room he no longer felt

intimidated or had to put on a show for other people. He felt clear and confident.

3. After one month he felt joyful, pure and complete happiness. The feeling of completeness

4. He began his blog to inspire people to give raw ago and have less impact on earth

5. He wants everyone to try it for 2 - 3 weeks and feel the difference for themselves

His advice for people that are transitioning from cooked to raw is don't stress to much. He said it's hard at first and the hardest thing he felt was when his girl friend invited him to meet her parents for the first time. They are from Hong Kong and he didn't want to sit at the table and not eat anything. So he ate the Dim Sims and it took his body a week to feel super fantastic again. So he's advice is just do your own thing and don't let it consume your life. Eventually your body will feel that good that you won't want that cooked food.

"The longer you do it the more you realize that your values are

in line with the earth"

wow wouldn't you love to be disciplined enough to eat raw food all the time. So I did a little research and have discovered a site called "The raw diva's"

These ladies do a 7 day raw food detox and they state the benefits are

1. Look 5 years younger (hell yeah)

2. Overcome incessant cravings (what about coffee)

3. Loose some pounds (hopefully off my butt)

4. Banish cellulite

5. Heaps more energy.

This sounds like the thing for me they have a lead up to it and it actually take 14 days.

So tomorrow will be my first day and I already have my day 1 instructions.

Tomorrow I need to just focus on all the things I will have from the detox

I will have more energy

I will have more nutritious meals

I will weigh less

I will feel more confident

I will not focus on all the things I won't have like

I wont have a fulfilling meal

I won't have that yummy coffee

I won't have that crisp glass of wine

Instead I will have a carrot stick mmmmm!!!!!

Lets see how I go I will blog each day about all the twigs, leaves and seeds I will be eating ( now doesn't that sound tempting)

Keep glowing
