Mounting evidence has shown that heat destroys many of the nutrients found in raw, living food, rendering it harder to digest and nutritionally diminished. Raw food is catching on! From Hollywood stars with personal chefs, to a host of chic new Manhattan restaurants, the Raw Food movement is sweeping the country as people learn about the dramatic health benefits derived by eating a vegan diet in which food is never heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit. But where does one begin? Knowing that Raw food is good for you is one thing; actually adopting the Raw vegan diet is something else. Whether you're interested in diving deep into the Raw vegan lifestyle or just testing the water and easing into it, you'll benefit by having an expert show you the way. Raw food chef Kristen Suzanne leads you step-by-step through the How? and Why? of introducing more Raw, plant-based foods into your diet and daily routine. Unlike Raw recipe books, this one-of-a-kind Raw Lifestyle guide provides expert advice and super easy tips and tricks for changing your habits and succeeding with the world's healthiest diet. You'll learn what to eat, how much, and when, what to expect physically, what to expect emotionally, how to get started, how to handle cravings, how to order in restaurants, how to travel, how to handle questions from friends and co-workers, and how to deal with family members or introduce them (including kids!) to the Raw food lifestyle. In this friendly, funny, candid, and sometimes shockingly irreverent volume, Chef Kristen becomes your best friend, Raw food guide, and mentor, helping to ensure your success in what promises to be one of the most physically and mentally rewarding journeys of your life.

One of the best Raw books out there!!!,
By
This review is from: Kristen's Raw: The Easy Way to Get Started & Succeed at the Raw Food Vegan Diet & Lifestyle (Paperback)
This is honestly one of the best down right, straight and to the point raw food books on the market. Kristen does a great job at succinctly organizing EVERYTHING you could possibly want to know about starting and succeeding at this raw foods and vegan lifestyle. With chapters about "How Raw Works", "Exercise & Physical Fitness", "A Day in the life of Raw", and "14-Day Sample Meal Plan", this book encourages and motivates you to begin and stay raw and vegan.
In Kristen's first chapter she says, "If you're looking to experience life at its fullest, then you definitely need to start incorportaing more Raw food into your daily food choices. If you're looking to be the happiest you've ever been, then this is the answer." And I say if you are looking to get started on the raw journey and are ready to have a ton of knowledge organized in such a fashion that it's super easy to follow...then BUY THIS BOOK! I was so impressed and eager to continue on my raw journey. As a person who is already 100% raw, I knew that it would be a great read, but it was so much more. I learned a ton of stuff like how to travel in the raw more easily . Wow, I read it right before taking a weekend trip. What a difference. The chapter is broken down into car trips (short), car trips (long), airplane trips (short), airplane trips (long). So, overall this is an amazing raw food book. The cover is gorgeous and vibrant Adn the message is energizing and full of life. Kristen's book really delivers.

Outstanding!,
This review is from: Kristen's Raw: The Easy Way to Get Started & Succeed at the Raw Food Vegan Diet & Lifestyle (Paperback)
Throughout my journey with cancer, I have learned that one of the most powerful weapons in fighting and preventing most common diseases is eating a mostly raw plant-based diet. While this way of life may sound extreme, I believe that this is the optimum food for our bodies, and that many modern health problems are the result of deviating from this simple and basic truth. Unfortunately, most of us were not raised to eat healthfully. Plus, it can be difficult to follow a vegan lifestyle in our fast, junk culture of empty calories and processed, chemically altered garbage (AKA food).
Enter "Kristen's Raw"! In this fun, sassy, and inspiring book, Kristen Suzanne makes going raw simple, and unintimidating. Her facts are sound and well research. She not only teaches the basics of preparing the world's healthiest diet, she also teaches you how to deal with the potential emotional roller coasters such as self-doubt, discipline, cravings, and the social distance that can happen when you opt out of eating the SAD diet - even the so-called "healthy" version which she has labeled with an acronym so fabulously feisty that I'm just going to let you read the book to find out for yourself. Hope you enjoy, I certainly did. Thanks Kristen! Kris Carr, author of "Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips", "Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor" and director/subject of the TLC documentary film, "Crazy Sexy Cancer."

Kristen is So Inspiring,
By Denise Punger MD IBCLC "author of Permission ... (Port Saint Lucie, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kristen's Raw: The Easy Way to Get Started & Succeed at the Raw Food Vegan Diet & Lifestyle (Paperback)
I feel so inspired about my nutritional choices after reading this book. "People" assume my sugar-free diet is boring and restrictive just as Kristen's Raw lifestyle may seem impossible (once my restrictions seemed hard to me too).
I enjoyed her point of view and her energy in this book because it makes me enjoy my food more when I know it's nutritional. No more "slop" for me as my husband calls overly cooked food. I love her respect for food. I love how she describes that her kitchen is set up to keep her sucessful with the Raw lifestyle. This book has offered me MORE choices and options in nutriton than I imagined I'd find doing a (cane)sugar detox. My most favorite part is the food health ladder she describes showing how many of us are fooled by the SAD diet and "low fat SAD diet*." I will be using this food ladder to make a point with the patients I counsel. I can't wait to read the other books in her series and I look forward to all the healthy and delicious meal planning in my future!
