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.

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,

It is geared to raw food emotional eaters, but a lot of tips can be used no matter what diet you choose to eat.There are so much information, that you can choose which ones you want to use. If you eat to numb your feelings, then I would definetely recommend to read this book.

This is a fantastic resource and inspiration for those who are struggling with disordered eating and who want to eat a high raw food diet.

Angela Stokes-Monarch (an extremely knowledgeable and respected raw food diet advocate) deals with some difficult issues in a kind, caring, sensitive and empathic way ........she has been there! This makes reading her book and knowing her story all the more authentic and workable.

For those who don't know, in a nut shell Angela battled with thyroid problems as a child, that led to weight gain, that led to feeling bad about herself, that then led to more weight gain and so on until she reached 21 stone and was pre-diabetic. She then took the incredible journey of losing over 11 stones through confronting her addiction to food and eating a vegan, raw food diet. Powerful stuff.

Angela is a champ! She has obviously researched well and of course her experiences combined, create a very valid/credible book. I can appreciate much of her work to this book as I have traveled many of the same roads. I highly suggest this book to anyone who is addicted to food and KNOWS IT, and is PREPARED to finally acknowledge and put your foot forward on the journey to begin changing. It's a rough road...but if you are just interested for the sake thereof, this book is not for you. I also felt welcome to this book without OA verbiage, which, unfortunately has an enormous religious twist to it here in the US and I have always been annoyed at this continuous battle and left it behind. However, the concept is here.

Cheers Angela...WELL DONE!
