Yes - this means you can come too! This is something that I am passionate about and am honored to have the opportunity to share with the students and staff at UC Berkeley and with YOU. Raw and Living Food refers to foods that are kept below 116 degrees. A raw and living food diet supports eating naturally grown wild or organically and sustainably raised fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, seaweeds and occasionally sprouted grains. Most significantly, during the preparation of raw food dishes nothing is cooked, at least in the traditional sense. Nothing is heated or cooked above 116 degrees F. There are no dairy, animal products, animal derived products, sugar, canned food or processed ingredients. People get into raw food for a number of reasons, and here are some of the many and varied reasons: Ethics: Some arrive by a path that involves a search for more natural, ethical and sustainable ways of living; a more compassionate way of life, as a natural extension of vegetarianism or veganism, or being ' green'. Spiritual: Some sense the spiritual benefits, cleansing mind and body, with the widespread tradition of eating only or mainly raw fruit amongst wise men and women. Health and Healing: Others arrive at raw foods simply to maximize their health, or through serious illness or disease, having heard of the great healing effects of a raw diet, with particularly green juices and ' living foods' having many significant benefits in fighting serious ' lifestyle diseases' such as cancer, diabetes, crone's disease or heart disease. Weight loss: It is true that some people who have struggled with conventional diets, different degrees of food disorders and issues relating to weight have found the raw or mainly raw diet to be of great benefit. A Positive Life: Eating a lot of raw foods can be a fad for some, but for the majority, a mainly or totally raw food lifestyle is the result of a genuine search for an improvement in their lifestyle, for their own benefit or to benefit their relationship with the planet, or both of course a big first step in being able to walk away from processed foods and toward whole foods. hope to see you! Jillian -- ....it's a matter of switching gears, never looking back, and BECOMING that person today that you always dreamed you'd be. Entertain every thought, say every word, and make every decision from their point of view. Walk the way they would, dress the way they wold dress, and spend your free time the way they would spend theirs. Choose the friends they would choose, eat the meals they would eat, and love and appreciate yourself the way they would. These steps MUST come in order for the to be change. There's no other option, no other way... But, since that person is who you REALLY are, that makes this assignment downright effortless. Just stop being who your aren't.
