Raw Fusion: Better Living Through Living Foods Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can so relate to what the author states: "Food has always been a huge part of my life: if the raw food diet were boring or tasteless, there is no way that I would have stuck with this lifestyle." The author has an advanced degree in psychology, and through interviews with raw foodies has learned that nearly everyone benefits psychologically from the diet. They gain more self-confidence, self-awareness, self-control, and self-respect. In addition, diseases can be prevented and even reversed. All of this motivated her to write this book and share this great health secret with the world.
This book is a wonderful introduction to the raw life, and even though I have read several dozen books on the raw diet (writing even two of them myself), I found myself learning new tricks, such as how to get the most from juicing, how to best dehydrate food, and how dehydrating food can actually save you money!)
What LindaJoy illustrates in this book, for all newbies scared to go raw, is that you can benefit so much by just going to a higher level of raw: "Raw Fusion is a hybrid of the best of the raw foods world, intermingled with an informed and conscious mainstream lifestyle. Individuals who find a high raw diet too limiting can find ways to integrate more variety into their meals without compromising nutrition. High raw foodists seeking healthy ways to add cooked foods into their diets will enjoy the versatility and variety of these tips. Families or individuals accustomed to more mainstream meals, but searching for tasty and convenient ways to increase their nutritional intake, will be surprised at how effortlessly one can fuse more raw ingredients into meals".
The four cornerstones of raw fusion, which the book details, include green smoothies, creative green-ing, the main meal salad, and raw desserts.
Raw Fusion covers all you need to know to get started on your raw, high raw, or "raw fusion" journey. You are taught how to equip our kitchen and pantry, how to properly combine foods for efficient digestion, all about superfoods, and the all important sprouting and soaking. This book will lead you to a world beyond cravings, an attitude of gratitude for your body, and how to cook lightly to avoid toxic byproducts from the heat. There is even an excerpt from my book that warns about how cooking has led to disease.
There are interviews with or essays by 15 other raw leaders.
What I love most about this book is that the author is too smart to get stuck in dogma. She realizes that people vary in their nutritional needs. While some do well on a vegan or vegetarian diet, others don't. She also warns about overeating carbohydrates and high glycemic treats, which is a common error in the raw food movement.
This is a great book for everyone on the road to raw! There is even a companion recipe book which is spiral bound.
