5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Dive Into Emotions, Food and Connecting with Your True Self, May 8, 2009

I bought the eBook version of this and have read it twice already. It is extremely helpful if you have any emotional connection with food and it had a plethora of ways to deal with and overcome eating issues. You will write your Optimal Vision for your life - which was not only fun, but enlightening. You will also compose an eating plan (very helpful) and have TONS of resources and recommendations to assist you on your journey to Raw Food and also make it an enriching experience.

I think Angela's writing style is wonderful because you can truly tell that it is coming from her heart - she is passionate about this lifestyle and truly wants to help others. It is also very nice to know that she has gone through the transition and the sidebars from her own experience are really great and inspiring.

Congratulations, Angela and Thank You for your courage in sharing your story.

This review is from: Raw Emotions (Paperback)

You gotta love an author who hopes her book will be obsolete soon. Angela Stokes writes from the heart and sincerely wants her readers to succeed in healthier food choices and happier lives. Her vision is a world where people look at this book and say, "Was there really any other way to eat?" The unique aspect of 'Raw Emotions' is that the author highlights certain key words in different colors. The vibrancy of the words jump right off the page and will get you excited to start transforming your life. Angela gives you questions to contemplate, mind-mapping exercises and loads of resources. Just having this book around and looking at the front cover makes me want to eat healthier!

As an energetic speaking coach, I know that people in the audience look at the vibrancy of the person speaking. Detoxing from emotional baggage and having a healthy diet are the foundation not only for your personal life, but your business life as well. This book will help you in ways you might not expect.

Angela is brilliant, beautiful and authentic. She is one of the most amazing success stories I have ever seen!!! She knows her stuff and not only does she know it she has tried, experimented and mastered raw food living. She is a pure radiant Goddess who embodies all that she knows!!!

I loved this book because she really gets into the emotional part of eating. The reasons why we eat, how to connect to our emotions and live an optimal life! Being healthy isn't just about nutrition, there are so many other factors at play. And, Angela knows; she has done the work losing over 160 lbs! WOW, Go Angela, Go Angela! :)

So, if you want to learn how to nourish your mind, body and heart this book is a fabulous yummy guide!! :)

Enjoy!

Love,
