1. Eat Raw Living Foods as Nature Intended 

In my opinion, the two species on the planet not achieving optimal wellness are mankind and domesticated pets. Our animals, who depend on us, suffer from “civilization”, much like we do because of eating an unnatural processed diet. [1]

Why Raw Living Foods?

Raw foods have more nutrition because cooked foods lose over 70% of the vitamins, protein, minerals and 100% of their living enzymes! [3]

Raw fats, in the appropriate amount, are healthy.

Review: Best Health Book EVER!! EVER EVER!!,
Jun 2 2010

By  H. Zarour "Spiritual Transformation Coach"
(Calgary, AB)    

This review is from:I am incredibly passionate about this book, it has transformed my life. I heard rumblings about raw food in 2004 and started to incorporate it into my life, with health benefits. I had no teachers or guides, so I followed my body's signals and ate a lot of fruit, some greens and a few nuts with the odd potato thrown in. I felt good but was not getting enough calories. Then I came across the "raw movement" and was introduced to gourmet raw food, and my body felt even WORSE on this gourmet raw than it did on cooked!  I was struggling and I was told it was detox! Well, how long should detox last really??

Diet by Design

 Diet by Design is not just another "diet book;" but rather, a one-of-a-kind, comprehensive health resource that teaches you about diet and nutrition, food and water safety, food combining, healthy eating tips; lifestyle factors, how to shop for, store, and prepare produce [in a wonderful recipe section], and much, much more! Most other "diet books" present diets that do not work because you cannot wait to get off the diet and eat and eat and eat and eat [with the result of gaining the weight back and more]; however, Diet by Design is not like this because the pleasure of eating surpasses any junk food and fast food available and you can eat till you are satisfied and still lose weight, maintain your weight, or even gain weight if you need to.
