Book Description

April 1, 2009

The modern world is a toxic place, and we’ve all become less healthy because of it, whether it is from the air that we breathe or the foods that we eat. Natasha Kyssa is a raw foods chef and lifestyle coach, and her company SimplyRaw helps people improve their health and well-being by integrating simple, natural-based guidelines into their current lifestyles. This informative and useful manual outlines Natasha's twenty-eight-day detox program, which includes only raw and “living” foods (i.e., those that have been lightly steamed). It is a gentle, effective method to cleanse the body of toxins and to provide optimal nourishment for healing. The author believes that we can heal ourselves naturally to mend the damage done to our bodies due to unhealthy environments and improper food choices.

Raw diets have become all the rage lately, and Natasha believes that proper digestion, essential for one’s health and vitality, can be greatly improved by an all-raw diet. This manual, which includes 135 recipes as well as plenty of guidelines and background information, follows a proven approach to better health, natural weight loss, increased vitality, and healthy lifestyle changes.

Natasha Kyssa is a former international model who has been a raw and living foods vegan for almost twenty years. At the age of forty-seven, she leads an active lifestyle and trains daily, including rock climbing, long distance running, hiking, skiing, yoga, pilates, and cycling. She attributes her strength, well-being, and youthfulness to her raw and living foods diet.

Editorial Reviews

Review

For someone who loves to cook, Natasha Kyssa's kitchen is strangely bereft of appliances. No stove. No microwave. No set of T-Fal frying pans.... What she cooks--if you can call it that--is raw.... Raw food has slowly gained credibility and followers, notably celebrities like Demi Moore and Sting. And they may be on to something. A 2005 study by the University of Washington School of Medicine found that when compared to those on the Standard American Diet, raw foodists had less chronic inflammation, lower cholesterol, and less IGF-1, a growth factor that, when elevated, is associated with increased risk of breast and prostate cancers.

Reading the preface to The Simply Raw Living Foods Detox Manual is enough to make a reader want to give detox a shot. Ms. Kyssa is obviously beautiful, as shown in the book's photograph, but did not come to healthy living easily. Her prior battles with eating disorders, cigarette smoking and weight gain show that she knows what it's like to succumb to unhealthy temptations and struggle with food-related addictions. Her healthy lifestyle today is testament to the success of this program. Recipes in the back will appeal to readers who do not wish to commit to the full month's system but would like to incorporate healthier raw foods into their diet.

Compact and comprehensive.... Kyssa covers much ground via a gradual approach that commences with a vegan, 80-percent-raw diet and progesses toward completely live foods.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring Approach to Raw, May 9, 2009
By 
Dani B. (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The SimplyRaw Living Foods Detox Manual (Paperback)
The SimplyRaw Living Food Detox Manual is a motivational read. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. After raiding the natural foods store to purchase the materials, I immediately was drawn to the kitchen to start experimenting. As a vegan, I tried "Raw" diets in the past and found that they did not work. I've read several other books, which included recipes or suggestions that typically required too many nuts and heavy foods as prime calorie sources, however, these foods tended to inhibit proper digestion.

Natasha's approach is fun (and delicious) and considers that an excess of oils/nuts can be an obstacle to feeling great. She has pages and pages of easy to make recipes. She also mentions alternatives for those with Candida (another ailment many of us grapple with).

Her writing is so supportive and encouraging. She stresses that this is a 28-day detox, not a "forever" program. However, I have found her approach to be one that I will continue even after the 28 days is complete. Granted, my diet was already 50% raw and full of sprouted foods prior to reading this book... so it wasn't a huge transition. I can see that this would be a greater adventure for someone on a standard North American diet, as he or she would likely receive much more dramatic improvement in their health. If I already feel this great... I can only imagine how amazing someone who currently eats processed foods, meats, and refined sugars will feel after this detox! In addition to recipes, there are also household and lifestyle tips that can help remove the toxins from your external surroundings. The book is surely a springboard to wellness.

I encourage anyone who just wants to be bold, improve their health/energy, and go on a 28-day culinary exploration to please implement this program!

3.0 out of 5 stars VegNews on The SimplyRaw Living Foods Detox Manual, March 3, 2010
This review is from: The SimplyRaw Living Foods Detox Manual (Paperback)
Compact and comprehensive, SimplyRaw begins with a crash course in the live-foods lifestyle, followed by a 28-day detox program, "because you're committing to changing your diet, not for a lifetime but for a short period of time. Twenty-eight days is sufficient time to make a difference, and a short enough time not to overwhelm you." Kyssa covers much ground via a gradual approach that commences with a program rather than a flat-out fast, believing that it is more sustainable while allowing you to continue to live and work. SimplyRaw includes meal plans, 135 recipes, and ends with this La Rochefoucauld quote: "To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art."

5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough detox plan, July 4, 2010

This review is from: The SimplyRaw Living Foods Detox Manual (Paperback)
While I have followed other detox regimens and juice fasts in the past, I like this plan far better than any others I've done. I appreciate her gradual approach; her advice to ease into the program by reducing one's intake of certain things before eliminating them completely at the beginning of the program is sage. For those new to Raw Foods, including lightly steamed veggies during the first week eases the transition and thereby increases the chances for success. And while I have not tried all of the recipes, I love how many she includes in the book. The variety makes a month long regimen much less daunting than the thought of a month of just salads. There are a number of recipes that I will continue to make after I am finished with the regimen (I'll freely admit that Rejuvelac will not be a regular part of my diet; I do like fermented grain beverages, but I've gotten so used to calling them 'beer'.) I also really appreciate the inclusion of dry brushing, meditation and other non-dietary aspects of detoxification. Not only do they contribute to the process, they are a good reminder that the process extends beyond just what we eat. I have recommended this regimen to several of my friends.
