My new favorite foodie website is http://www.rawmazing.com/ -written by Susan Powers, who aims to show people how to transform their diet from the SAD (Standard American Diet) to a diet consisting of raw foods. She became 100% raw and found that she was shedding pounds, increasing energy, and resolving all of her health problems. Susan now follows a 80-90% raw diet, because realistically no one can stick to being completely raw without living a totally rigid lifestyle. Research shows that 60% of our illnesses in our country is due to SAD...the way we eat is making us sick and harming out planet. Eating a nutritional, partially raw diet can help clean up your health and the earth. Susan's website is full of tips and rawmazing recipes for making raw food taste absolutely delicious! Her posts are also fun and inspiring-a must follow! Check out this recipe for Cinnamon Ginger Truffles- to die for!
