Product Description
A top nutritionist provides her simple, proven five-level diet plan to safely make the transition to eating raw foods, and to detoxify and achieve a perfect body no matter how you eat now. The raw food craze has taken off, as raw restaurants spring up and celebrities, models, and other fans tout the effects of eating raw. However, many people who are intrigued by raw food simply don't know how to make the transition from what they're eating now, or how to achieve the benefits of eating raw without giving up their lifestyle or the foods they love. Natalia Rose, an in-demand nutritionist, shows how in The Raw Food Detox Diet. Whether your diet is primarily made up of meat and potatoes, or tofu and tempeh, you can incorporate the flavour and lasting health benefits of raw food into your life. Over time, our bodies build up poisons and store waste from food that is not fully eliminated. Raw food helps to detoxify the body by flushing out these poisons and setting us back on a course toward greater energy, clearer skin and shinier hair, and a slim, natural figure. But making the transition to a raw diet too quickly can have negative effects on the body. Instead, the healthier way is to make a gentle change based on your previous diet and current needs. You do not conform to The Raw Food Detox Diet; it conforms to you, and you choose how far you want to go. Whether you're looking to live an all-raw lifestyle, or just to improve your energy and shape while still eating the foods you love, this groundbreaking diet book will energize and inspire you to achieve your goals safely and easily.

Clear, Concise and Extremely Helpful November 11, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Two years ago at the age of 53 I was diagnosed with several health problems. The doctor I was seeing wanted to put me on prescription meds and expensive supplements. At that time I began searching for dietary solutions to my problems. I made progress with the Right For Your Type lifestyle, but this book answers all the questions and presents the perfect solution for me. I had already begun juicing and looking into eating raw, but didn't know how to start. This book explains a raw lifestyle clearly and concisely with the reasoning our bodies thrive on it and explains food combining with crystal clarity. It is unfortunate to me that it calls itself a "diet", I find it to be more of a lifestyle and feel I have finally found my way to the correct source for all my dietary and health problems. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a Type A blood especially, but also anyone who just wants an easy, healthy guide to food consumption. It should be required reading for all families interested in their health
Excellent value for money November 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This little book was recommended to me by a trusted friend and it has proved to be one of my best buys. I too would recommend it to anyone trying to lose a little weight painlessly and stay healthy at the same time. The green lemonade recipe is easy to follow and provides the simplest way to obtain your "5-a-day" and get those anti-oxidents into your system every morning.
Great for women but also for men too! October 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I enjoyed this book immensely because as a beginning raw foodist, I had a lot to learn. The author makes it easy to understand the basics and gives several excellent suggestions for detoxing to take place.
She takes care to let the reader know that it's a one day at a time thing and not to fret if the person falls off the wagon or doesn't become 100 percent raw. She gives easy to use recipes that any novice can put together in a hurry.
I'm in my second reading of the book because I enjoyed it so much. I've promoted the book at my blog and several of my readers have purchased a copy for themselves.
I do recommend it, obviously.

Finally a diet that you an actually live with September 23, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm a guy and have a I have a chronic stomach illness (IBS).
Before starting this book, I was trying to balance my doctor's and acupuncturist's advice, with a yo-yo diet of junk food (ice cream sandwiches are my kryptonite) to healthy and no real direction.
Then my girlfriend recommended this book. The short story is that I have lost 26 pounds and many of my symptoms have gone away (even though I still can't have balsamic vinegar or too much ginger).
The book is easy to read and offers a 14 day plan for all levels of raw food. However, you don't HAVE TO follow the meal plan if you don't want to - it's about making the right choices. The tone is empathetic to how hard this diet can be and does everything to ease you in gradually.
The recipes are delicious and aren't there as your limitations, but to teach you how to cook raw. The Carrot/sweet potato bisque soup is one of my favorites and after a week of eating it for lunch some odd skin problems I had went away.
The downside is that it's really geared towards women. If you're guy, just stick through it. Also, yes, she doesn't advocate eating meat. However, I have balanced my love of meat into my diet and reduced my portions of protein and upped my veggies with proper combining and healthy ingredients.
Anyway, I can't say enough good things about the book and have been succesfully using the diet for 6 months with no wear and tear to my psyche.
