Welcome friend,
Consider this report a beginner!s guide to help you get started with the raw
food diet and inspire you to get more raw foods into your existing diet.
My intention throughout is not to convert you into a raw foodist but rather to
highlight the power of adding MORE raw foods into your existing diet.
The information in this report is not meant as medical advice but it will
surely assist you in living a healthier and more energetic life, simply by
improving the way you eat.
Thanks again for downloading this report (which was actually supposed to
be sold as a $49 product) and I hope you find it very informative, inspiring,
and helpful for you to reach your full health potential.
“Why should I even follow a raw food diet OR why should I incorporate
more raw foods into my diet?”
First off, I could tell you about all the benefits of doing so or read you
hundreds and thousands of testimonials but I!m not going to do that
because it!s not really going to hit you where it needs to hit you.
Literally, within 24-48 hours you!ll have experienced the POWER of natural
living foods and you!ll start to understand that to experience is really the
only TRUE way to understand why you should eat more raw food.
But until then, let!s look at a few powerful reasons why you should eat more
raw foods..
But the problem is that there!s a ton of garbage out there in the “diet and
weight loss” industry.
Heck, you certainly won!t see advertisements for fruits and vegetables on
TV, that just doesn!t happen, there!s no money in it.
The big money is in packaged, boxed garbage foods, and man-made foods
- these are all DEAD foods,.

That!s where the money is, that!s what we are exposed to every time we
turn on the tube and that!s what most people tend to consume, simply
because we become what we think about.
Furthermore, eating more raw foods will help you lose weight for the
following reasons:
• They contain more fiber, which makes you feel full faster and
improves your bowel movements.
• They are rich in food enzymes, which assist in the digestion of the
food that you are eating, minimising the likelihood of undigested foods
making their way through your digestive tract.
• They contain tons of water, which satiates you and prevents you
overeating.
• They contain VERY high levels of minerals, which tell your body
when enough is enough. [NOTE: your body actually craves minerals,
not calories].
As you can see, weight loss is definitely one of the biggest benefits to
following a raw food diet.

Plus, having helped over 47,000 people eat healthier, I really haven!t
noticed many people who are strictly raw and overweight. The two don!t go
hand in hand.
When I started going raw a few years ago, and removing the foods that my
body was sensitive to (ie. wheat, dairy, etc..), I was thriving on about five
hours of sleep a night and I felt great.
Imagine spending more time awake doing what you love. Imagine not
needing to take a nap to get through. Imagine not having to rely on coffee
or energy drinks for sustained energy.
That!s what eating more raw plant-based foods will do for you.
Several years ago, I played professional soccer with one of the biggest
clubs in France.
Having played soccer my entire life and valuing my health and fitness it!s
surprising that I never really ate fruits and veggies.
And that really hurt me, especially at the top level since I constantly needed
to take a nap just to make it through the day.
(Yes, you guessed it) I started to incorporate more raw foods into my life.
Pretty crazy what can happen when you don!t eat well.
However, as I!ve healed my body and eaten more raw foods that resonate
with my body my hair has come back.
But as you!ve seen, I still have a shaved head. That!s because after 14
years of not having hair I actually like it that way. Using a razor once a
week beats going to the barber, any day.
The third important reason for adding more living foods into your diet is to...
I!m not going to use the word “cure” but my simple approach to raw foods
has helped people bounce back from all kinds of illnesses, ranging from
acid reflux, gallbladder stones, kidney stones, osteoporosis, diabetes,
cancer, and more. It!s crazy!
As Hippocrates once said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy
food”.

If you don!t want to get sick anymore, if you want to overcome an illness or
disease (or prevent one from occurring), fortifying your body through food is
the MOST powerful, healthy, and sustainable way to do so.
Don!t wait for the doctor to have you relying on some crazy side-effect
inducing medications or other nonsense.
Just start today by adding ONE more fruit or vegetable into your diet. Do
that for a week, then next week, add a SECOND one. Rinse and repeat.
I!ve experienced tremendous benefits with a diet that is generally 80% raw.
I!m not a hardcore raw foodist. I still enjoy the occasional pizza if I go out
with friends. I!m not a fanatic. I!m all for moderation but I do believe that
incorporating more raw foods into your diet will make a huge difference.
The ultimate goal with any diet really is to find something that will be
sustainable for you. You want to be able to follow the “healthy path” at
least 80% of the time. The other 20% you can let yourself go a little, if you
want.
You don!t have to be 100% raw, you don!t have to be a hardcore raw
foodist. If you do, that!s totally fine and that!s great. If you want to be 50%
raw or 80% raw, whatever is going to work for you will make a difference.
But just remember this, wherever you are today, you can only get better
by incorporating more raw fruits and vegetables into your diet.
So do what!s best for you keeping in the mind that ultimate goal is to eat
more plant-based foods. Pretty much every study in the field of nutritional
sciences will point to eating more plant-based foods as a means of
preventing disease, losing weight, and living longer.
If I eat a raw food, like a banana, it will contain food enzymes that help
digest itself - the actual banana.
That!s a food enzyme and they come standard with every make and model
of natural foods in their raw state.

Next, we have metabolic enzymes, which are produced inside our body.
These metabolic enzymes are involved in every single process (outside of
the digestive tract) you could possibly imagine from blinking to jumping.
They are even helping me write this report for you!
Every single possible reaction within the body requires metabolic enzymes.
Digestive enzymes are enzymes produced in our pancreas and they are
secreted into the digestive tract to help your body digest foods.
And this is where eating more raw foods starts to have a big impact for
you...
Because raw foods contain loads of food enzymes, your pancreas doesn!t
have to produce and secrete as many of its own.
Raw foods don!t deplete your body of enzymes like cooked foods do - they
give your body enzymes!
When a food is cooked about 118 degrees Fahrenheit, it looses it!s natural
food enzymes and becomes dead. It no longer has any life force.
This make life for your body a little more difficult because it has a finite
number of enzymes in it!s “enzyme bank account”.
Because of this limited enzyme reserve, the more you deplete those
enzymes out of your body (by eating a lot of cooked food) the more your
body has to work on digestion and the less energy it!s going to have for
other important processes.
There!s even research which shows a correlation between how long you
live and the number of enzymes in your body. Very simply, when you run
out of enzymes, you run out of life.

Understanding the importance of food enzymes is so crucial that I!ve
devoted an entire chapter to it in my best-selling raw food program, Eating
for Energy.
In fact, on page 67, you!ll be shocked to discover a scary finding that over
50 scientific studies have pin-pointed back to low enzyme counts in the
human.
In the meantime...
Raw foods are full of food enzymes which means that these enzymes are
coming into your stomach and facilitating digestion, which allows your
pancreas to take a breather, instead of having to constantly crank out tons
of digestive enzymes.
At the end of the day, the goal is to save your body!s enzymes and bring
more food enzymes into your “bank account”.
Well, I!m glad you asked because this is a very interesting discussion which
I think you!ll find rather illuminating.
The first thing you need to remember about protein is that you!ve been lead
to believe that you need a lot of it.

Even the Canada Food Guide says that us Canucks (and pretty much
everyone else) need about 15-20% of our calories to come from protein.
The World Health Organization says that 99% of the population only needs
about 5% of their daily calories to come from protein. The USDA is a little
bit higher, 6.5% —it!s staggeringly close to 20%, isn!t it?
NOT.
There!s big money behind meat (ie. cattle farmers, etc...) and the whole
protein supplement industry.
But enough about the political stuff. Let!s get into the food itself.
Consider this...
Look at three of the strongest and biggest animals in the world - the gorilla,
the giraffe, and the elephant.
Let!s look at the incredibly strong gorilla. What does it eat? Leaves and
berries, right? Giraffes, what do they eat? Leaves. Elephants, they!re eating
grass.
Heck, what about cows - our very best source of protein (supposedly)?
They eat grass too.

The biggest, strongest, longest living wild animals are all eating grass
and plants.
And yes, I understand that we humans are NOT those animals, but we can
certainly learn a lot from what they!re doing.
So let!s look at the common sources of protein in the typical human diet.
• eggs
• dairy
• meat
These are generally the foods that come to mind when we think about
protein, right?
What happens is that when you cook that chicken you denature it!s
enzymes and overall protein structure. That!s what HEAT does to the
chemical structure of proteins (and other nutrients).
Enzymes, as you now know, are forms of proteins. When you heat proteins,
they coagulate. They basically bind up and get really, really tight. Think
about a fried egg.
When you crack an egg out of the shell into a frying pan and you heat it, it
becomes solid, right?
FREE Report: Harnessing the POWER of Raw Food - The Easy Way
Copyright Total Wellness Consulting
So, from that liquid form, it condenses, solidifies and becomes really
compact. That!s what happens to proteins when you cook them, when you
heat them.
What this mean to you is that when you COOK proteins, you make their
digestion that much more difficult.
And that!s part of the reason that you may get tired and/or bloated after
eating a heavy cooked meal that includes animal protein.
That!s also why many naturopaths and nutritionists will recommend eating
soft boiled eggs instead of hard-boiled eggs for clients who have digestive
difficulties.
Not only does heating make protein tougher to chew and digest but it also
destroys a great amount of the protein itself.
So, if you have 20 grams of protein in that chicken breast, by the time you
bring it into your body after it has been cooked, you might be working with
half of that.
Then, your body has to work on digesting that protein, actually breaking
down all of that compacted and complex protein molecules from the
cooking process.
From that solid mass, your stomach and it!s digestive juices have to
somehow break down that chicken protein into its basic amino acid building
blocks.
Single amino acids make up proteins and, in the body, we store amino
acids in the liver. And your muscles and most of your physical body is built
from these amino aicds.
Here!s what animals like gorillas and elephants (and vegetarians) are
doing. They!re eating plants which directly provide the amino acid
components of complex proteins, so no complicated digestion required.
These raw amino acids are easier to digest and assimilate into the body.
And if the digestibility issue hasn!t made you uncomfortable enough how
about this...
Green vegetables have MORE protein (gram per gram) than animal
products.
The only difference is that, it!s easier (and perhaps more feasible) to eat a
20-ounce steak, then to eat the same amount in kale (for instance).
But that doesn!t meat you shouldn!t try. Or at the very least, eat some kale
with your steak.
Again, I don!t work for PETA and I!m not an anti-meat activist, I!m just
putting the information in front of you so that you are more educated about
this topic and can therefore make healthier decisions in the future.
But...
There are still other issues with eating lots of meat that I discuss in much
greater detail in Eating for Energy.

EVERY food contains protein. It!s just that some contain more than others.
That!s why if you!re considering eating more plant-based the issue isn!t
really about getting enough protein, it!s more about getting enough
CALORIES from varied sources.
I can guarantee that even if you went vegan starting today (you!d have B12
stores for the next 8 years, so don!t worry) and ate enough calories (from
good whole foods) for your metabolic demands, you would get all the
protein you would need.
And even if you work out and want to develop a strong physique, you can
still do this on a raw food diet.
I eat animal products maybe 1-2 times per week. The rest of the time, I!m
fueling my body with incredible smoothies, juices, salads, and other
amazing plant-based meals.
Before we finish this discussion on protein, there!s one more objection I!ll
deal with here...

Historically, the thinking was that because plant foods didn!t contain all the
essential amino acids, we would have to combine them in a particular meal
to get the “complete” protein.
For instance, eating corn with rice as opposed to either one alone.
Well, in recent years, research has actually shown that none of this even
matters because your liver is an amino acid warehouse.
It houses all the amino acids you need and, therefore, if you miss a
particular amino acid at a given plant-based meal, your liver will piece
together the puzzle and complete the protein inside your body.
I hope this discussion on protein has caused you to look at animal products
a little differently now.
I!m not looking to start a debate about which way of eating is better or
whatever. In fact, if you!re mad at me for making you feel uncomfortable
with this information, then you!ll probably be sending me hate mail after
reading for Eating for Energy.
But after that rage has subsided and you are healthier, more energetic, and
slimmer than ever by following some of the natural nutrition principles I
share with you, I!m sure I will feel a bit safer.

Ok, How Do I Get Started with Raw
Foods?
The first thing you need to do is get really, really clear on what it is that you
want. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to have more energy? Do
you want to incredible health so that you never have to visit your doctor
ever again?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then a raw food diet is a
great option for you.
But the problem is that there are so many different diets out there to
choose from and, as I mentioned earlier, most of them don!t consider your
health.
The beauty of eating more raw foods is that the focus is on HEALTH.
“If you eat for health, EVERYTHING will fall into place.”
The healthiest way of eating to lose weight is also the same way of eating
to have more energy, get rid of acne, prevent diabetes, and improve your
bone density.

Ok, now let!s look at how YOU can start transitioning your diet to more raw
food. Again, how much raw you want to incorporate is up to you but just
remember... the more the better.
I!m talking about allergenic, problematic foods like wheat (bye bye gluten)
and dairy predominantly.
I would suggest that removing these 2 categories of foods will be good for
you too. And you might not even by “allergic” to them. All it takes is a slight
intolerance (ie. bloating, gas, itchy skin, rapid heart rate, etc...) for these
inflammatory foods to send your immune system into dizzying frenzy.
The difficulty I have with most raw food approaches out there is that they
are based on complex and time-intensive gourmet recipes with ingredients
that can be almost impossible to find.
My approach to raw foods is very simple and I think that if you take a very
simple approach like simply adding more fresh foods into your diet (one by
one), it will make a very big difference for you and it will be much more
sustainable.
Add ONE more fruit or vegetable into your diet each day or week -
whatever will work for you - until you reach a level that feels naturally
comfortable for you.

This could be as simple as eating an apple first thing in the morning. Or
adding a banana to your post-workout feeding.
However, for some people, going at this full-out better suits their
personality. In that case, I would recommend starting by completely raw for
just one day.
By the time you wake up the following morning you!ll feel like an entirely
new person. That!s how quick and powerful this stuff is!
That!s why it!s important to start (and master) just one approach.
Hopefully, you!ve resonated with my approach and you can see it working
for you as well.
Transition Helpers
Now that you!re slightly more motivated to start fueling your body with more
raw foods, here are few “transition helpers” to help you succeed.

I love smoothies. If you have a blender, you can save yourself a lot of time
and get a lot of great nutrition by blending your foods.
It makes life easier for your digestive system, and since most of us have
underactive stomachs anyways, if you can pre-digest your food by blending
