All lectures will be followed by a 30-minute question and answer

session. Here's what you'll learn:

 

-- How to get enough protein, calcium, and B-12 on a vegetarian or

raw diet.

 

-- How to eliminate your cravings for processed, depleted foods.

 

-- Are you ever tired after meals? Do you ever have gas, bloating, or

indigestion? Learn to properly combine proteins, starches, fats,

fruits, and vegetables so they can be easily digested.

 

-- Sample meals in which foods are properly combined for optimal

digestion. Without this, it can be tough steering away from bad

but " familiar " meal combinations.

 

-- Do you love fruit? Learn two secrets for slowing down the rise in

your blood sugar level.

 

-- Why many people get more cavities after switching to an all raw

diet, and how to protect your teeth.

 

-- How to release the gas-producing sugar from beans before you eat

them -- minimizing gas, bloating, and indigestion.

 

-- How to skyrocket the nutritional value of your nuts, seeds,

grains, and beans through soaking and sprouting.

 

-- How to get enough vitamin A and D on a vegan or raw diet.

 

-- How to eat well, even when you're traveling and have no

refrigeration (for example, while you're on the road or staying in a

hotel).

 

-- Many diseases stem from a mineral deficiency... why? Today's soil -

and in turn, today's fruits and vegetables - have fewer minerals

than they used to. Discover which foods can help you recoup these

lost minerals, and why.

 

-- Why a whole food diet will dramatically reduce your " environmental

footprint " (i.e. you'll no longer contribute to packaging, fuel

consumption, air pollution, or landfill garbage).

 

-- Are you tired of waiting for avocados to ripen? Do your bananas

turn brown too fast? Learn to speed up, or slow down, the ripening of

your fruit.

 

-- How to store your fruits and vegetables so they stay fresh longer.

 

-- Don't risk getting osteoporosis. Learn why minerals get leached

from your bones. Learn which foods are acidic, which are alkaline,

and how to balance them.

 

-- In traditional food combining, fruit must be eaten alone... But

Trevor will reveal three yummy exceptions to this rule.

 

-- How to keep your avocado dishes from turning brown overnight

 

-- What dentist Weston Price discovered about indigenous societies

that hadn't been introduced to " modern " processed foods.

 

-- To prevent fruit from rotting in transit, most fruit is picked

before it's ripe. Only 3% of commercially grown fruit is ripe when

picked. Discover how to recognize these ripe fruits at your grocery

store.

 

-- How to include flax seeds in everyday meals, so you get plenty of

Omega 3's

Who's Trevor Levine? In 2001, Trevor helped launch the web site

www.abbeysvegetarianrecipes.com . Since then, over 13,000 people have

visited and signed up to receive free vegan recipes by email.

 

Trevor has been a vegetarian for 21 years, and eats about 70% raw

food. When people guess his age, and discover that he's actually ten

years older, he smiles and credits his wholesome diet. However, he

hasn't been 100% free of health problems.

 

After losing a tooth in 2002, a holistic dentist turned him on to the

findings of Weston Price. This led him to interview his raw food

friends. He was surprised to discover that, for some, going raw led

to more tooth decay. Luckily, he's uncovered some secrets to

preventing this.

 

Over the last two years, because of digestive problems, Trevor became

an expert on proper food combining, said goodbye to processed foods,

and now makes virtually all of his recipes from scratch.

 

In the interest of saving time, he's developed " quick versions " of

many of his favorite recipes. What's more, he's tweaked them so

they'll be easier to digest. Now you can benefit from his experiences.
