High Raw gives the most comprehensible outline for directing your own health that I've found yet. It is not a book that tells you to take this herb for that illness, but rather a book that directs you in setting your own goals for health, weight, energy, fitness and success, and then gives really insightful and helpful systems for achieving them. In my video I'll share some of my favorite parts...

This review is from: High Raw: A Simple Approach to Health, Eating and Saving the Planet (Paperback)

Having studied health and nutrition for many years, I can honestly say I really really like this book.

First, Kevin offers a great contrast on why we are so sick and tired in this country. But, he does not dwell on the negative. He gives flexible principles to help people achieve optimum health. These principles are refreshingly clear of any rigid dogma. Again, the book is about fun, variety, and living to your full potential, all with the uniqueness to you.

There are five main principles in the book:
Eat Real Food & Think Like a Raw Foodist, Make Health Your Top Priority, Know your Body, Educate yourself, and Take Action.

Again, no dogma with lots of insights from years of trial and error and hundreds of interviews. He also has a lots of tools for fitness, nutrition, spiritual development, finding pure water, over coming roadblocks, eliminating cravings, dealing with information overload, superfoods.

In summary, his goal is helping the reader achieve optimal health with no dogma, lots of flexibility, keeping it fun, etc. A must read for anyone in taking their health to the next level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holistic and solid raw food information, June 23, 2009

This review is from: High Raw: A Simple Approach to Health, Eating and Saving the Planet (Paperback)

A couple years ago I attempted to follow a raw diet and completely broke down for pizza after a couple weeks. I now realize that this was due largely in part because of lack of knowledge as to how to approach a plant-based diet--I was not prepared. This book lays out the groundwork information for this type of lifestyle, and does this in a holistic, non-judgmental, straightforward way. You will be more motivated and better informed about healthy eating. I downloaded the PDF, but would recommend purchasing the hard copy, as you'll want to go back and refer to it for information or motivation. Highest recommendations!
