Raw Fusion: Better Living Through Living Foods

Posted on July 30th, 2010 by cortney and tagged , .

With American obesity levels at record highs and vitamin intake at a record lows, many Americans feel tired and burnt-out with their diets, but feel powerless to make any meaningful changes. High-caloric, low-nutritional, processed, and pre-packaged foods confront consumers at every turn. The food industry has conditioned us to think that we have no other options readily available – but that couldn't be farther from the truth!

In Raw Fusion: Better Living Through Living Foods, raw foods chef and psychologist Dr. LindaJoy Rose shows that a healthy, nutritious diet doesn't mean breaking the bank or breaking your back, and she provides you with all the tools you need to get started.

Dr. Rose's original raw fusion concept involves blending the Standard American Diet with a Raw Foods Diet. Raw fusion never means depriving yourself or sacrificing taste; instead, Dr. Rose teaches you how to substitute healthy foods for unhealthy ones, as you increasingly move towards raw foods. Raw foods represent foods in their purest, freshest forms.

Dr. Rose recognizes that every individual has unique needs and circumstances. Depending on their location, finances, and familial support, not everybody has the ability or willpower to suddenly become 100% raw. Instead, Dr. Rose works with you to set goals and help you move towards a healthier lifestyle at a time and pace feasible for your situation.

Written in an accessible manner and packed with practical information and anecdotes, Raw Fusion combines:

  • delicious recipes
  • kitchen equipment suggestions
  • budgeting tips
  • nutritional advice
  • and more!

Raw Fusion already has the backing of some of the biggest names in the raw foods world, many of whom will be contributing to the book.
Years ago, Dr. LindaJoy Rose revolutionized hypnotherapy and helped people to stop sabatoging their own success. Now she makes eating healthy fun and easy and will empower you to look and feel great. Look for Raw Fusion: Better Living Through Living Foods to debut this fall! Previews of the book will appear on RawFoodsPhD.com.

Juice Fasting vs. The Master Cleanse

Posted on April 30th, 2010 by rawfusionliving and tagged , , , .

This year I decided it was time to do some heavy duty de-toxing and tried out a few researched techniques. Fasting has some extraordinary benefits but should not be undertaken lightly. My original goal when I started the Master Cleanse in late January, was to spend the first 3-5 days away at our beach condo to be away from distractions and have a chance to fully rest, but my husband Jeff insisted that I stay close to home so that he could monitor my progress.

Some of the benefits of fasting are:

  • The breaking down of fats stored in the body (via a process called autolysis, which releases the fat cells through the bloodstream so that they can be utilized by the liver).
  • Elimination and neutralization of stored toxins in the body from the major organs, including the skin, which is technically your largest organ.
  • Cleansing and clearing the colon of undigested food, thus improving elimination and overall well-being.
  • A natural healing process occurs when the attention of the body is drawn away from the digestive system. Approximately 30% of our daily energy is channeled into digesting and metabolizing the food that we eat – so when we limit our intake to water, juice, or specially combined drinks (as I will describe below) many fasters experience surges of energy and vitality.
  • Weight loss is generally a by-product of fasting, but people often gain back at least half of the weight when returning to normal eating.
