10 Days to Living Foods Freedom 

Now you have access to a wealth of information the likes of which we only dreamed of having when we started on raw food. Of course ideas and information are only seeds capable of growing into mighty trees, but waiting for the life bringing rain. As rain brings the seed to life, so will your actions now by starting the “10 Days to Living Foods Freedom”. This is an opportunity to start making the benefits we’ve talked about here real. No action - no results. All action - all results. It's that simple.

The guidelines are simple, the results can be profound:

1. Measure your condition at the beginning and end of your challenge (weight, rating of your energy and sleep, measurements, body fat – whatever works for you).
2. Eat a minimum of 80% living, raw, enjoyable foods; a mix of greens, vegetables, fruit and nuts/seeds (preferably soaked). If you are opting to eat any cooked foods at this time, make them lightly steamed whole foods that are unpoisoned (ie wild / organic).  Experiment! We do recommend 100% raw. It's easier (when you're creative enough to find options you enjoy)and people often see results much faster. Choose what works for you.
3. Keep a daily journal of the food you eat (the forums at Raw-Pleasure.com.au are a great place for this) and the benefits you are experiencing. Go for the best food you can find and write how it makes you feel.
4. Enjoy at least 30 minutes of gentle, fun exercise every day, preferably outdoor (rebounding, walking, swimming, or cycling). It’s only for 10 days…unless you want more! :)
5. When trying anything new, ask yourself what you love about doing this. Make sure you answer!

If you’re looking for new and interesting recipes or support please visit the forums at Raw-Pleasure.com.au. You'll find hundreds of recipes, articles, new friends and more. There's even a section for you to journal your experiences with raw food. This is a great place to ask questions too.

"Why do we eat raw? We started introducing raw foods to our vegan diet (this being initially brought about 8 years ago due to ethical reasons) to better our health.  Mainly for more energy and to feel good.  Raw has met these requirements and beyond!

After much reading and thought we now feel that Raw means much more to us than our own health.  Making a 'lighter footprint on the earth' by the considerably less impact on the environment and resources such a lifestyle has is of equal importance to us.

A true inspiration is Woody Harrelson's DVD 'Go Further' and we highly recommend it.  Very well done;  nonbeneficial preaching and judgement is thankfully cast aside.  Instead important information is getting out there by presenting the bigger picture through heartfelt dedication.

We are sure many more aspects of Raw will show themselves and we look forward to every little experience with gleeful anticipitation.  Raw rocks on so many levels!

Stay true,
Clarissa & Angus"
