RawReform Media Action
Purely Delicious
Have you ever seen the magical raw food magazine ?Purely Delicious??
I LOVE it. It?s made with masses of love by the sublime Anna Tipps in Texas and the Summer 2008 issue if out NOW. This issue includes an article on Raw Food Weight Loss featuring myself and dear Mr. McCluskey, plus articles on ?The Truth about Protein?, ?Wonderful Water?, book and restaurant reviews, a nut-free summer recipe section and lots more... The magazine is BEAUTIFULLY presented and subscriptions are a snip at just $25 for a year (for those in contintental US) or $45 for 2 years. You can check it out and order your copies HERE.
24 Stundir
Yeeeeee-HAH ? guess what? Raw food is front-page news in Iceland ;) LOL... recently, Icelandic newspaper ?24 Stundir? (24 hours) put an article and picture about my weight loss story on their front page (see picture to the right).
Can you IMAGINE the impact such a message could potentially have in countries such as the US/Canada/the UK/Australia and so on, if this simple message of a transformative raw food lifestyle was presented as FRONT-PAGE news, in national newspapers...???
Timeless Spirit
One juicy raw diva, Aleesha Stephenson is currently many weeks into a Juice Feast and she wrote a little review of my book ?A Juice Feaster?s Handbook?, for her beautiful online magazine ?Timeless Spirit?. Here?s an excerpt from her article:
?So many things are covered in this handbook but I have to say my favourite is where she explains the value of each juice and the different combinations she recommends. Once you've been juicing for a while, it's amazing how you can get stuck in a rut of making the same thing day after day. This book assisted me 'mix it up' a little in my head and get some new ideas for juices!
Anyone who has an interest in Juice Feasting, whether it's for 3 days or 92 days should get a copy of this book. Consider it your Juice Feasting Bible! I know I do.?
You can read Aleesha?s whole review and check out her ?Timeless Spirit? magazine HERE.
...and if you haven?t read ?A Juice Feaster?s Handbook? yet and would love to juice up YOUR life a little more, you can get a copy of the book HERE. ENJOY... :)

Energy Soup Recipe
As those of you who read my blog will know, for the last couple of months, I've been eating mainly 'Energy Soup', smthg along the lines of what Ann Wigmore recommended. The recipe for this soup goes a little smthg like this, for 2 people:
1/2 a cucumber
1/2 a red or yellow bell pepper
a generous handful of leafy greens/sprouts: spinach, kale, lettuce, sunflower greens, alfalfa etc
little bunch of coriander
a little bit of garlic - maybe half a clove
juice of half a lemon
little handful of dulse
FAT: either 3 tbsp tahini or the flesh of a small avocado/half a larger avocado
Water or a mix of water and rejuvelac (if you have it) or - maybe 3
cups - abt half way up the blender, once all the veggies etc are
already in the blender ;)
Place everything into a high-speed blender, blend and serve ;) We usually stir in some coconut chips, mung beans or smthg similar to chew on ;) ENJOY :)
