What is a Vegan Diet?

A vegan diet is entirely plant based and void of all animal products – including eggs, fish and dairy.

What is a raw vegan diet?

A raw vegan diet consists entirely of uncooked, unprocessed, whole plant foods. Examples of what a raw “fooder” might eat are; fresh vegetables, salads & sprouts, green vegetable juices, fruits and fruit smoothies, and nuts and seeds & wheatgrass juice.

What is the difference between Raw Food and Living Food?

Although the definitions of raw vary, it is commonly held that for a food to be raw it must have not been heated over 118 degrees so not to destroy nutritive value. Living Foods include wheatgrass juice & sprouted seeds, nuts & grains.

What is a Detox?

Detox, short for detoxification, is the elimination of toxic substances from the body.

What can I expect during my Detox?

The detox is a highly individual process. Everyone experiences it differently. For some there are no detox symptoms at all, whereas some experience light-headedness, nauseous, weak, tired, headaches, fever-like symptoms.

Where do I get my protein?

This is probably the most common question we get asked, and the answer is that there is a huge myth related to the amount of protein the body needs. Protein is found hemp seeds and nuts, sprouts, dark leafy greens and broccoli. The human body breaks protein down into amino acids, so If you cut out the middle man and eat foods that are rich in amino acids, like ALL uncooked fruits and vegetables, then you are getting more than enough protein direct from the source.

How long have I been Eating Raw?

In 2001 I first came into contact with the Essenes’ teachings about raw foods & purificaton, translated from ancient texts known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. At the time I was living on a tropical island. Fresh, lucious fruits and vegetables were growing all around me and I found myself eating raw naturally. I lost weight and started to feel an amazing vitality in my being. This experience lasted for the two years I was in the tropics, but when I returned to my home in the UK I drifted back into eating cooked vegetarian food. The weight piled back on and my sense of aliveness dulled. All the time I knew I was not living my full potential which took it’s toll on me psychologically and I yo-yoed between bouts of depression, PMS, lethargy & worryingly high blood pressure. In 2008 I had a skiing accident and as a result had to have my knee reconstructed. Whilst recouperating I researched places I could go to regain my health through raw foods. I came across The Hippocrates Health Institute in South Florida and decided to take their 9 week Health Educator Programme. The first 3 weeks of the programme is The Life Change Programme, and change my life it did! I learnt that this way of life is not just about changing the way you eat, but about changing anything in your life that no longer serves your process of becoming whole, mentally, emotionally & physically. I took a leap of faith, let go of my old life and made the decision to bring together what I feel most passionate about in order to assist others on their journeys to wellbeing and wholeness….Raw foods, swimming with wild dolphins & yoga. Humanity is at a great shift in consciousness. We are at the dawn of a new age, that we are just beginning to get glimpses of,….2012 has begun energetically….A raw food diet will bring your body into correct alignment for the coming times.

What do I eat?

First thing in the morning I make either a green vegetable juice loaded with celery, cucumber, greens, ginger, garlic & sprouts or a Superfood fruit smoothie depending on whether I’m detoxing or training. The fruit smoothie contains banana, apple, kiwi, coconut water, Raw Cocao poder, hemp powder, green powder, raw cocao nibs on top and goji berries to chew on. I make enough to have a glass there and then and another in the fridge from when I get back from my workout. Exercise comes far more naturally as you progress on your raw journey…All that new found energy needs somewhere to go! I do a combination of cardio, stretching, yoga, pilates & weights five times a week. The green drinks or smoothies keep me going until around 2pm, then I eat my main meal of the day, a raw lunch of an entrée or onion bread & pate with a salad….I might snack during the day on something sweet like raw cocao or spirulina balls… Or an apple….then in the evening I try and eat before sunset, something light like a salad or juice. I do enjoy sweet things and the beauty of raw is that in moderation you can have your cake and eat it! Raw ice cream is a favourite!

How do you eat out?

I like to eat raw 90% of the time, but I am not going to forsake meeting up & spending time with friends that don’t eat like me. So occasionally I go out and eat cooked vegan food & make sure I have some digestive enzymes with me to help assimilate the cooked foods digestion process in my body. A raw living food lifestyle will boost your immune system, bring your body into an 80/20 Alkaline/Acid balance for optimum health, vitality & wellbeing so that you can live the way nature intended.

Remember…

Raw is a journey, not a destination

Your emotional health is just as important as your physical health

Prepare & eat your food consciously with love

Exercise oxygenates the blood, stimulates your lymph, relieves tension & improves mental clarity

Spending time with friends & loved ones that support your vision is highly beneficial to your wellbeing

Being of service, finding your life purpose, sharing your gift with the world, giving something back

Taking time out alone to meditate, focus and set your intentions

“The food you eat can either be the safest & most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison” Anne Wigmore

Nibs and Nabs $8.78 On Slick Sixty’s full-length debut, the British trio lay down sleepy, after-hours electro-funk with a heavy ’70s/retro influence. This isn’t block-rockin’ stuff here, just pleasant, smoky electronica built on a foundation of lazy beats, live instruments, and some superb cutting and scratching from guest DJ Scratch Professor. Some of the album feels like filler around the excellent single “The Wrestler,” but the overall vibe of Nibs and Nabs is seductively samey. ~ Andy Hinds, Rovi Performers: Scratch Professor – Scratching; Nathan Church – Sampling; Andy Humphreys – Vocals; Marcus Salisbury – Trumpet, Bass; Richie Hopson – Guitar
