Somewhere around eight months ago, I went through a two-week rejuvenating cleanse. It wasn’t easy, but afterwards I felt invigorated and healthy! I emerged from the experience with amazing eating and living routines. Between moving and getting married, life has been pretty hectic and, unfortunately, my health and eating routines have gone from stellar to […]

Since this last cleanse, I have been eating more raw food than ever before and discovering a bunch of new recipes. One of the easy recipes is a raw herb encrusted mushroom steak (created by Rhio). This is the most savory, filling raw recipe I’ve made to date. I just loved it and Ray’s […]

I’ve been feeling pretty good since our fast. More motivated to drink green drinks in the morning and have been enjoying gorgeous salads as well. Although I’d like to work on cleansing for a bit longer next time, I feel really good about the cleanse we did. And, I have been savoring healthy food like […]

The past 3 days have been pretty strange - my body has alternately felt high and low. And, this is certainly the longest I’ve gone without solid food. I went from craving salads on the first day, then bread, then enchiladas and refried beans by last night (which was strange because I have been eating […]

Yesterday was a bit rougher than I had expected. My theory is that, because I’ve been eating so many raw foods and detoxing already lately, this cleanse was kicked into high-gear from the beginning. They say you’ll crave that which you are detoxing from. I was craving salad and hummus all day. Mostly, though, I […]

Tomorrow, I am beginning the Master Cleanse. I just returned from the grocery store and am ready with mint tea, lemons, maple syrup and cayenne! Looking forward to this as lately I am feeling a bit weighed down, both physically and emotionally. I see these next couple weeks as a time to cleanse both the […]

I’ve been on a vegan, partially raw foods diet for a few months now and am feeling great. One change has caught me off guard has been weight loss. Ray and I have both lost over 20 pounds since starting this new diet. Sure, this feels great, but I was completely unprepared and hadn’t realized […]
