My Experience with a Three-Day Raw Detox
On Thursday morning, I decided that, with a long weekend coming up, it was a good opportunity for me to do a three-day raw detox. My husband was starting a full-fledged juice-fast at the same time, so I’d just have to make something for the kids to eat while coming up with delicious raw-detox meals for me. My motivation came from a) the presence in our house of Natalia Rose’s The Raw Food Detox Diet, which I’d been reading with great enthusiasm the past week or so, b) a desire to get off the weight-loss plateau I’d found myself on the past month, and c) an interest in...

If you’ve taken up juicing, and especially if you’ve got a masticating juicer (Champion, Omega, Green Star…), then in addition to that wonderful juice, you’ve probably got a bunch of delicious, high-fiber pulp left over.

The first day began with Robyn, the other students and me sitting down to a delicious raw breakfast – milk and cereal, accompanied by fresh bread and raspberry jam.

I recently spent several days at a raw food retreat, and was served amazing gourmet raw foods. Delicious, healthy, and inspirational, all things considered. The primary inspiration I came home with was to dig out my juicer (yes, I occasionally get enthusiastic about health fads, and buy the appropriate tools) and start using it again. Regularly. Which prompted me to de-clutter my kitchen counter, so that there would be a place for my juicer to live, so that I would be more likely to use it. So, now I have a lovely, tidy, clutter-free kitchen, and have been enjoying delicious juices on a...
