POWER BOOST

Drink this at least 15 minutes before eating.

½-1 tart organic apple, unpeeled, quartered and chopped

3-5 scrubbed, unpeeled organic carrots, chopped

2 clean stalks of organic kale, stems removed

Juice according to manufacturer's directions for your juicer. Drink

juice immediately. Yes, it is the color of your lawn, but it's

pleasant tasting, loaded with nutrients, and packed with power.

You'll see.

Variation: I've been throwing some fresh melon and pineapple into

the mix for variety, and it has been tasty...so experiment!

Note: If you are new to juicing or just starting out in your new,

healthier lifestyle, juicing something like kale may sound totally

disgusting and unappealing. I understand. Actually, I was afraid of

kale myself, until the person who gave me the recipe for the Power

Boost juice told me how wonderful it is and that it gives a natural

jolt of energy. Now, to be honest with you, the Power Boost isn't

the kind of juice I sip to make last a long time; I generally toss

it down fast. Now carrot juice, or carrot and apple juice, is

exquisite and I do drink that for the enjoyment of taste as much as

for the nutritional benefits. So if you're curious but apprehensive,

start with just plain carrot (add a half a stalk of celery for

variety) or apple juice, or perhaps a combination of the two; then

try the kale later.

MUESLI

Experiment with different ingredients for variety.

1 c. organic rolled oats

½ c. organic rolled spelt*

½ c. organic rolled triticale*

½ c. organic rolled kamut or barley*

¼ c. chopped organic dates

¼ c. organic raisins, currants, cherries, or cranberries

1 dried organic apricot or pear, chopped (roll in oat flour to

prevent stickiness)

¼ c. raw, whole, organic unblanched almonds

8-10 organic raw filberts

4 organic raw pecans

In a blender or spice/nut grinder, grind filberts and pecans into

coarse crumbs or powder, depending on preference. Combine all

ingredients in an airtight container. For each serving, place a

heaping 1/3 cup in a bowl and top with lowfat soy, oat, or rice

milk.

*If you can't find these ingredients in your local health food store

or co-op, or unable to find them on the web, just substitute more

rolled oats.

IDEA: During the summer months, try substituting some or all of the

dried fruit with dried fresh berries. Yum!

Now for lunch, combine a large, crisp, fresh green vegetable salad

or flavorful cut raw vegetables with a nourishing bowl of FF or LF

homemade soup, or a thick slice of steamy-warm fresh whole-grain

bread, or a little leftovers out of the fridge or freezer, and

you'll have a healthy lunch. At dinner time, prepare a large bowl of

bite-size pieces of tangy-sweet fresh fruit, tossed with a mixture

of freshly-squeezed lime juice and a dab of pure raw honey, and

enjoy. After a while, maybe a half hour or so, eat a little

something else--maybe spicy steamed vegetables over corn pasta, or a

fluffy baked potato topped with steamed tender-crisp broccoli or

cauliflower, a little sour cream and fat-free Mozzarella (or not, if

you're vegan), and zesty BBQ sauce or salsa. Firm but tender beans

of your choice (uncanned, please) and whole brown rice with some

chopped fresh tomato and seasonings is a great idea, too. Compile

tried-and-true healthy recipes in a notebook, 3-ring binder, or

computer file and implement variations of this meal plan several

days a week, or every day, and you'll be on your way to more

vibrant, electrifying health!

My doctor recommended surgery, chemotherapyand radiation. I refused this treatment because mymother and my aunts had cancer opted for surgery,chemotherapy and radiation and like so many otherstheir cancers just came back with a vengeance. I foundout about Dr. Ann Wigmore and the Living FoodsLifestyle and when I read what it had done for othersI decided to adopt this program as my healing regime.In

this particular lifestyle, it is much more than adiet and includes not only raw foods, but living foodsas well. The Living Foods are those which are sproutedand growing when you eat them, i.e. mung bean sprouts,lentil sprouts, sunflower sprouts, buckwheat sprouts,etc. In less than six months I was cancer free and allof my other symptoms completely disappeared includingdepression, arthritis, migraine headaches, allergies,chronic fatigue, insomnia, bad skin, acid reflux,indigestion and heartburn. My doctor was so amazed atmy complete transformation that he wrote the forwardto my book, “The Living Foods Lifestyle” and now,sends his patients to my center so that I can helpthem heal naturally. It’s amazing.I lost over 70 pounds and went from a size 18-20 to asize 6-8. I look younger and have fewer wrinkles. Ionce had problems with acne, psoriasis and eczema, nowmy skin is glowing and beautiful. My once dull

eyesare now bright and clear and my eyesight improved somuch that I don’t have to wear glasses anymore. I look20 years younger. Cellulite diminished. My hair turnedback from gray to its natural color and became thickand full of body. It even developed natural curl andwaves like I had when I was a baby.Good links about raw foods.The Optimum Nutrition Bible by Patrick Holford(the test asks you a long series of questions and fromthat you work out how deficient you are in certainvitamins, fats and minerals)My first meal of the day was often fruit, it just mademe cope with life and prevented me putting on weight.Dr Doug Graham, book “Grain Damage” explains thatwheat is not an optimal food choice. During the timesI stopped eating wheat, my mood was lighter, as weremy sleeping patterns. My bloated tummy deflated, too.Maggie, a 57 year old produce

buyer, lost 32 pounds in2 1/2 months. After 9 months on Alissa's Raw andLiving food diet she has begun to notice her gray hairturning dark again. Her skin is glowing and she looks20 years younger.Ellen, 50 years old, lost 17 pounds. She has triedevery diet imaginable to help her heal her inheritedhigh blood pressure. Two weeks after being on Alissa'sraw and living food diet she was off of her medicationafter many years.After just a few months on the raw food diet, I had nosymptoms of Fibromyalgia, my Candida was gone and Ifelt better then I had since my teenage years. Myenergy shot through the roof and I began to lookyounger and younger. I was more positive and happy. Ibegan to share this diet with others and found theygot the same kind of results.Say you have a craving for french fries or

potatochips. This means you have a craving for somethingoily and salty. So we replace these junk foods withnuts and seaweed. The seaweed that I find the closestto the salt craving is Wakame or Bull Kelp. By mixingthese with almonds, you are getting a tasty protein,and the seaweed has all the minerals and traceelements that you require on a daily basis, and youare taking something that was an unhealthy craving andturning it into a rich nourishing treat that is verygood for you.____________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals..ca
