Raw Food Classes for Beginners

I have been running classes for complete raw food novices for some time and recently I decided to create a programme that would lead a complete beginner through a really easy to replicate series of recipes that would provide a solid base for transforming health levels.

It is going really well, currently there are 5 women who meet every week for a couple of hours in the evening. One week they will have hands on food preparation where they get to sample everything they make and take some home with them to share, the following week they watch a film.

The first week we made nut milks and cheeses and they went away to try a fortnight without dairy to see how that made them feel. There were some really positive results.

Week two was a film "Raw for Life", the film evenings are a small informal gathering were we have herbal teas and green smoothies and super healthy nibbles .

Week three they learned just how incredibly simple it is to make tasty and healthy pates, they made walnut pate, pumpkin seed pate, intense Italian and the all time favourite carrot and dill. 

With all of the tastings and talking we went way over time so I am going to have to rethink certain aspects of the class to make sure we don't over run because from March 21st I will be running an intermediate class immediately after the beginners .

I'm really delighted at how easy my class are finding the recipes because if they find it easy they are much more likely to try it  out at home.

Living Food and Lifestyle

Maximize your energy and loose weight over the christmas holidays with Living Foods

It is:

• loads of fun,
• not at all complicated
• really easy to do
• and I'll give you tips on how to make foods that will leave you feeling fabulous, give you loads of energy and if you follow some of the suggestions that I am going to make will help you to loose weight over Christmas rather than put it on.

What's more it could even cut down the amount of time that you spend slaving over a hot stove

This is to help you get going especailly if you would like to shrink a little to get into your party clothes. It is really easy to do and costs virtually nothing but hardly anybody does it even though most of us know that we ought to be doing it. What's that then I hear you say, nothing simpler than drinking water but it matters how you drink it if you want to start your body shifting unwanted weight and this is the formula;

When you get up in the morning drink two pints of water within 1/2 hour this will flush through your kidneys and help them to start functioning properly again. Your kidneys have been seriously jeopardised by not drinking enough water for years so much so that your liver has had to help it work which has meant that it hasn't been able to do its own job properly, which is to metabolise fats. Then drink another 2 pints within 1/2 an hour around about the middle of the day and then another 2 pints between 5pm and 6pm. I know that you will be back and forward to the loo all day but if you visualise that every time you go you are weeing out fat deposits it makes the whole thing an exciting sort of adventure .

I love making life into a fabulous adventure I've been doing that for years now and it is so exciting, I will give you all kinds of excellent tips that you can have a go at that will make a positive difference in your life immediately.

It's getting really late now and as this is the first of my blogs i mustn't go on too long. All I ask is that if you want to start loosing unwanted pounds this side of christmas really try to achieve the water suggestion for at least a week and see how it works for you. Do let me know how it goes.

Love and light
