Very Inspiring [Posted on 2008-06-17] I love her books because she inspires me to keep moving in the raw direction. I love that she refers to the idea that eating raw integrates spirit with the body.
Natalia Rose is a Gem! [Posted on 2008-07-24] Four months ago I was at the park with my son after school, feeling cranky and exhausted as usual, dying for 6:30 to roll around so I could fix myself a cocktail and cook dinner, signalling the end of another long grueling day.
I turned to one of the other mothers and said in desperation "is this all that's left of life? Tired by mid-afternoon?" My friend shrugged. I started looking for ways to increase my energy and found Natalia Rose's RAW FOOD DETOX DIET. I have felt better and better since. This is the book of her philosophy of where life force comes from. It's a little fruity but loving and helpful. She encourages people to take what they can from her words and live a better life. So far I have.
Best Raw Food Book I've Read Yet [Posted on 2008-09-14] This is a fantasic, simple, gentle way to improve your eating habits. I enjoyed the approach in every way. Buy this book and her other book as your first stop on the way to raw eating.
Recovering muffin addict [Posted on 2008-09-17] I purchased this book 1 week after the birth of my 4th baby. All of my kids are under 4 and I wanted a book that would provide information on how to live my best life through diet and exercise. I am on the 18th day of the 21, although I will continue the diet for as long as it feels good to me. I wake up every morning very tired (newborns will do that to you), yet after my green lemonade (recipe in book) I feel so full of life. I actually crave this drink and make it for my husband which he drinks grudgingly but does it because it makes him feel good. My 2 year old enjoys it too.
For me it has taken all this time to really wrap my head around the "quick exit food combinations" and I could see how maybe someone who is looking for a quick and easy weight loss book might find it difficult. Food combining is a new concept to me and although very simple it is new and took time to learn.
I have thought about going raw before but all the dehydrators scared me and I never wanted to try after reading a few pages of a raw book. This book has very easy recipes and requires no dehydrating or soaking. It does take time to prepare fresh things (like salads) but I personally enjoy that type of prepping. I do spend a fair amount of time at the market buying fresh fruit and veggies (this diet requires a lot of them) but I look at it as something I am doing for myself and that feels good. It is also ok to eat cooked meals on this diet and even meat. I eat cooked fish for dinner several times a week.
I have lost 5 pounds and 4 inches off my waist so far. But best of all I feel great and I have more energy to take care of my kids (who try to suck the life right out of me). I bought Natalias other book which I have also enjoyed reading. I use the two books inter-changeably.
I should also add that before this book I was heavily addicted to any type of baked good and ice cream. I went 10 days without really missing them and then at a bday party broke down and ate more chocolate cake then a person should. But after the cake I felt like crap and I realized that I prefer the way I feel and look when I eat healthy and delicious fresh foods. I think being thin feels better then chocolate cake tastes. I am sure I will still eat cake once in a while but while strolling past the fresh baked muffins at the market I was happy to not feel the pull toward it and thought about how it would feel vs. how it would taste. (This is huge for me!)
Lastly, people keep commenting on how great my skin looks and how well rested I look. I know this is due to the fresh, high vibrating foods I am consuming and have to laugh because believe me, I am far from rested.

Good book, nice recipes, and somewhat educational [Posted on 2008-11-12] I love Natalia Rose. I think she is a bit extreme, and I do not agree with all of her recommendations and the strict theories of food combinations but I must admit that when do you follow her regimen, you feel and look incredible. The recipes are very good, especially her ginger honey salad dressing. I do recommend it if you are starting or exploring a raw diet.
