Live the Balanced Raw-Food Lifestyle Effortlessly!

A growing number of health practitioners - and trendy restaurants and celebrities - are espousing raw-food diets as the way to stave off disease, boost energy, and lose weight. However, 100 percent raw-food diets are difficult to sustain, limited in food options, and have come under fire for not being nutritionally sound. A new raw-food approach is gaining momentum - one that combines both raw and cooked foods for an optimal balance of vitamins and minerals, healthy fats, enzymes, and macronutrients. Balanced Raw eschews the all-or-nothing approach of other raw-food cookbooks, giving a four-phase, thirty day plan for making the raw-food lifestly and benefits livable for life. With the Balanced Raw approach you'll eliminate health-zappers such as allergy-promoting, acid-forming foods; clear toxins; and restore your body and metabolism with nutrient-dense recipes that taste incredible.

WEEK 1: Enjoy elimination-friendly recipes such as Celery Root and Leak Soup with Green Apple, Pumpkin Spice Chia Porridge, Chili-Lime Veggie Crudite, and Tamarind Tossed Squash Noodles.
