More and more folks are health conscious in today's world. The once small community of raw foodlists is exploding. With this amazing growth, many options have become available providing the opportunity to receive raw prepared foods delivered right to your home. I am not talking about TV dinners and packaged processed foods. No, these are pure, organic foods whipped up miraculously using simple ingredients and a bit of gourmet pizazz!
Raw gourmet restaurants are popping up all over the country. These restaurants specialize in the preparation of creative cuisine that is healthy and free of additives and preservatives. The whole foods used to create these amazing meals are always organic and unprocessed. One will reap the rewards of improved health when consuming a raw food diet. Some of these benefits include: weight loss, ability to fight off chronic disease, detoxification and an overall feeling of good health.
Some of the options for at home delivery are pricier than others, but this is your insurance policy. If you pay more now for the foods that you eat, you will spend less later on illness and chronic health issues. It is a fact that eating healthier reduces ones chances of becoming ill with a degenerative disease. Raw food takes things a bit further. When you consume only pure foods, you just feel better. It is the simple truth.
The diets that most people consume are loaded with processed foods that are detrimental to our health. They are devoid of nutrition and are responsible for many of the health issues with which society is plagued. Diabetes, heart disease and some forms of cancer have been linked back to the lack of nutrition in our diets. A lifestyle change which eliminates processed junk foods will only benefit your health.
It is important to consume at least 50% of our diets in the form of raw fruits and vegetables. The remainder of your diet should be rich in unadulterated foods such as whole grains, nuts and beans.
Some believe that a raw food diet is boring. Trying one of the raw food diet delivery services will prove them wrong! The meals you will find in these programs, as well as those in the amazing gourmet raw food restaurants that are popping up nationwide are more creatively prepared and just as tasty, if not more delicious than any gourmet meal made of far inferior ingredients.
Trying a raw diet food delivery program may just be the introduction you need into immersing yourself in the raw food world. Try a program for a week and see how you like it. It may just change your opinion of what raw food really is!

Today we face a singular crisis that will point the way toward our own end or our beginning. Of course, that sounds foolish. But the important matter is that we now accept the fact that good nutrition is what matters in keeping our health in shape.
It is important to eat good, healthy, well-prepared food. It tastes better and it seems to appeal to most. All well and good.
Well, good healthy chocolate is one thing that will provide lots of good nutrition. In fact, good healthy chocolate that is not cooked at all is tasty and full of vitamins that are removed during the regular chocolate process. Good raw chocolate that is free of additives like sugar and other chemicals is, in fact, loaded with vitamins and nutrients that keep us in good health.
This healthy chocolate is easily available now.
The truth is that healthy chocolate is not processed but is made available in delicious form to all. We can all enjoy good chocolate now. The important matter is that nutrition means vitamins and enzymes and antioxidants that complete our daily intake of food get used by the body more readily.
Years ago it was discovered that free radicals caused disease and aging on the cellular level and that doses of vitamins and antioxidants do slow the process of cell damage and thereby the aging that takes place over the years. Cellular damage occurs all the time because of free radicals that interlink with our cells but which have no nutritional value. The use of vitamins can limit the damage; however vitamins that come in a bottle are not good tasting and only a small amount of the actual vitamin is actually used. The rest is simply lost in the process.
Studies in Europe have shown that those who consume chocolate on a daily basis can avoid by 80% the harm that comes along in aging. In fact, stroke and heart attacks and other life-threatening events are seen only rarely in those who ate chocolate every day. And this is for chocolate that is for the most part considered candy. Real chocolate that is natural and raw has very high content of nutrients and antioxidants that protect the body from cellular damage.
These antioxidants can prevent and even reverse damage that occurs over time. And unlike the vitamins that come in a bottle, the nutrients found in natural chocolate taste great and are absorbed by the body. Pills and other forms of nutrients do not get absorbed easily by the body. Those nutrients are in pill form and are made to be easy to swallow and to have a long shelf life. But they are not a good form of nutrition.
It is better to take high concentrations of antioxidants in forms that the body can use. The uncooked chocolate is very high is nutrients and antioxidants. It is a real food that is much higher in nutritional value than other fruits and vegetables. And the digestive process makes the nutrition available all day long.
Because of the high content of nutrition, raw chocolate is excellent for dieting. The body gets its necessary nutrition but the calories are less. It is easy to diet using raw chocolate.
Finally, raw chocolate is delicious and will satisfy the palette of any chocolate lover. Good healthy, raw chocolate can be a real gourmet food.
I want to bring the facts of raw chocolate to the public at large. People generally do not see chocolate as a real food; understandably they think it is candy. But I ask that we all do our own research and learn.
My site is [http://www.YourHealthyChocolateShop.com] where much information is available. There are links at the site where one can explore more. Go to http://www.MyDrChocolate.com and see other links there.

Kevin: Why don't you just give us a little brief history of why you're here and then we'll move onto the real meat.
Nomi: Okay, back in the beginning I started my raw journey, so to speak, about 20 years ago. I had just moved to California and I found myself not feeling well for the gazillionth time in my life. I had sort of a litany of issues and I remember it was around Christmas time where a big table was set up in the back room with all kinds of cakes and Christmas stuff and I subsequently, many years later, found out I really can't eat wheat. I wasn't feeling well and not only vague but it was sort of like an intolerance that affected my entire digestive tract and really some of the words to go along with the description would be fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, mood swings, really severe allergic sinusitis because I had moved from the East to the West Coast where there was pollen at all times, a lot of digestive problems, acid reflux, systemic candida, blah blah blah.
I went to a holistic doctor, Dr. Barney Meltzer. He was in Del Mar, California. One of the things he said to me is I want you to eat 50% of your food raw. And I said to him, the following sentence, which I've
since heard 5000 times: How will I get enough protein? That's the first question and he kind of rolled his eyes and it's all I can do to keep from rolling my eyes. Really, Kevin, it was just simple for me to go 50% raw. I've always been kind of a good cook. People eat raw food in their daily life. They eat coleslaw, they eat salad, even if it's just lettuce and a slice of tomato on their McDonald burger or something. It's not like an alien entity. I just upped it. My hypoglycemia at that time was so bad, I don't know if this has ever happened to you but I used to fall asleep while I was driving. I could get in the car all alert and literally wink off and it's like a miracle that I didn't kill someone or get killed. And what I did for that is this doctor said just carry around a pocket full of almonds. Raw almonds and when you start to get that feeling, that sort of sleepy feeling, or even before that if you know it happens every hour or whatever, just chew slowly on a couple of almonds. I mean this literally almost overnight cured that situation. I'm not talking about your driving tired. I'm talking about, you think you're fine, then you get in the car and you start nodding off. That had to do with my combination of food and eating too many carbs and stuff like that too.
So anyways, it was pretty dramatic, just the 50% change and after a year of doing 50% I went to one of the several places in the country where you can go for a three week retreat where it's wheatgrass juice and buckwheat and sunflower sprouts, and lots of raw food, only raw food and classes and that was very profound for me. I lost some weight and everything was completely cleared up from that. Just like serendipity, within 6 months I was working at the world-renowned Hippocrates Health Institute. I'm talking 20 years ago now. I'm going to tell you, I was 44 years old when I started this journey and I just want to share with you that I'm going to be 65 years old in 2008 and I really feel like I should throw a big party and show people what 65 can look like and frankly, if I had started younger it would look even better.
Kevin: So why don't you talk a little bit about the Hippocrates Institute and we'll get into the meat of what raw food can do for you therapeutically.
Nomi: I'm glad you asked this Kevin because there's a lot of buzz about raw food, a lot of books, a lot of restaurants and there's a big stress on the gourmet, culinary aspects and I sometimes wonder if there aren't some people out there, whether they're chefs or whether they're teachers
who really don't exactly understand or know that this came from a therapeutic point of view, a way to cleanse and heal yourself without necessarily having to get involved with the medical community.
And really I think my book is one of the very first books that introduced this whole kind of more gourmet and palatable subject. And there's nothing wrong at all with all the delicious things that are happening. It's just that I don't want to see people forget that it's grounded in something that's good for you, so really raw food is on a continuum or a spectrum, all the way from therapeutic up to gourmet.
What I mean by that is you can talk about water-fasting, for example, or juice fasting where, with water fasting you are resting and it's best to be supervised and you are literally only drinking water. What happens when you do that is, after a few days the energy that your body normally uses to digest, assimilate and eliminate is going into healing. It can be very profound. Then you can do carrot juice combinations and there's lots of people who have stories to tell about that like Reverend George Malcolm or Dr. Lorraine Day both of whom are pretty important people in the raw food movement because they both had a really serious cancer and they feel that they were able to become well by juice fasting. Then you can get into, and this is what a lot of the retreats do, they have some juices
but they also have good simple raw food. You again have that cleansing, de-toxifying factor. Then there's your everyday raw food, somewhere in the middle between this kind of severe and simple raw food, somewhere between that and the really gourmet, multi-nuts, all kinds of sauces, is your everyday, at home, how to eat raw food because a lot of people are really committed to being anywhere from 50% to 100% raw. They do see a health difference. Really depending on who you are and where you're coming from is where you're going to be on that continuum. If you for example, have a cancer you want to be on the more therapeutic end of it.
Kevin: Let me ask you this. What is kind of an ideal balance, say throughout a year, of therapeutic to gourmet? I mean, is there a percentage? 50% therapeutic? 10% gourmet? The rest in between? What do you think is ideal?
Nomi: If only I could answer it because each of us is so unique. If there were one exactly right way to eat, let's say in this case because I have a book, The Raw Gourmet and I'm considered to be an exact, if there was just one right way to eat raw food I'd be a gazilionaire. The reason there isn't is that because each of us is so unique. Some people can eat almost all fruit with a little bit of green. Many other people, they just can't. That's just all there is to it. People do get confused. They go, I don't know who to listen to, I read this book, this says that or this person they said that, and the reason for that confusion is, people kind of want to be told what to do.
I mean, we grew up in awe of the medical community and our parents before us did, and they go, well the doctor said to take this pill, the doctor said to do this, do that. And people have given away their power in terms of their health. I'm faced with people constantly asking me what should I eat and how shall I do it. Gee, I wish I could answer that for you but I'm going to have to toss that right back in your lap and you are going to have to experiment. It's all experiential. It's just not a religion or a philosophy. It's what you eat. You have to do it to know. If eating a certain way works for you I can almost guarantee it's not going to work for your wife, or your spouse or your kids or your brother. So it's an impossible question to answer. How much plain and simple and how much really gourmet can one person take in.
One big common mistake though, so that people learn, like from the Ann Wigmore books or from going to one of the therapeutic kind of places, Hippocrates is one of them, and they're pretty gourmet, but there's also a place in California and a place in Texas called Optimum Health Institute. A place in Michigan called Michigan Creative Health Institute and the food is very very simple. People think that's the way you eat forever but that's really what they're really presenting is the cleansing and the healing. You can't usually eat that way forever because it's not going to be enough calories in there for you or even enough variety. So it's a learning process. Fortunately or unfortunately each person really has to learn for themselves. certainly help people do it, in consultations, but it isn't an easy question.
Kevin: What do you think are some of the best ways or most efficient ways to experiment on yourself when when you're doing this?
Nomi: I think that whatever you decide, from reading or taking a class or whatever, is what you want to do, I think you need to try it out and as the days and weeks go by, see how you feel. If you're losing too much weight or not losing enough weight or if the initial uncomfortable feeling,
which can happen when you cleansing and de-toxifying, tummy aches, head aches, aren't going away, you need to revisit. One person can eat two avocados a day, another should only eat two a week, that kind of thing. I do think that a lot of people, my peers, who are writers and teachers in the community, have a tendency to if something works for them to then instruct that that's how you do. But I've learned from long experience there simply is no one right way. I'll give you an example. I had an employee come to my house several years ago. We each made smoothies for ourselves. Mine was -- I'll give you my favorite Green Smoothie. She used some sort of nut milk and some nuts and a few other things, some different fruits. I want to tell you I would have been sick for three days if I had made that for myself. It was just too rich, too filled with multiple nuts. This was a woman who was way thinner than I am. That's what she needed. She knew what she needed. I would have been nauseous initially and felt ill for, so it's really that is why people are confused. They read something, it won't work for them. That's the thing: there is no one guru.

I've been bodybuilding for over 15 years, and if there is only one lesson that I have learned in all my years of training and working up to competitions, it's that whether your goal is to be on stage as the greatest bodybuilder of all time, or to simply burn that pesky fat and live a happier and healthier life, the right foods in your diet is essential.
So what are the foods that burn fat? Well that's a question that can't be answered in one small and simple article, but I can however give you some very important guidelines to follow, so pay attention...it's not often that people get advice based on experience and knowledge.
1. A totally fat free diet will not help you in your pursuit of burning fat and keeping it off. The human body is a well oiled machine, and needs its "oil" and proper "fuels" to not only keep going, but to function at full efficiently. What most people don't understand and what is not told to them, is that you actually need fat in your diet! However, not just any fats will do, but the proper fats in the proper amounts will actually boost your ability to burn fat by increase the needed hormones, boosting your metabolism, and to keep all the "fluid levels" in check.
2. High quality sources of nutrients will help tremendously in boosting your efforts of burning fat compared to lower quality sources. Now I'm not talking about gourmet food, and by no means am stating that to successfully burn fat you need to spend $100 on a steak, in fact I advice against such overspending. For example when boosting your protein intake during dieting, a slice of salami will not contain high quality nutrients compared to say a grilled chicken breast, nor does it contain the right kinds of fats in the right amounts. Remember that the quality of content that goes into your "well oiled" machine will equal the quality of results.
Understand that dieting and dieting properly to include the right foods that burn fat really is not something that should be a huge or difficult task. When all is said and done, it simply comes down understand the proper concepts of dieting to burn fat, and acquiring the knowledge and information that you need to push yourself forward towards your goals of burning those unwanted layers of fat.
Very few people ever get the opportunity to properly learn the information and techniques to losing fat, keeping it off and staying healthy from a real life competitive bodybuilder, and not from a supplement company that just seeks your money. Learn all the information you will ever need to reach your fat loss and fitness goals, without ever being charged a dime. Will you take advantage of this opportunity & learn about foods that burn fat?

Everyone hopes for a re-vamped version of their absolute favorite foods but often the "re-do" just doesn't stack up in flavor and texture as the original. But every once in a while, luck may be with you, and somehow you get more compliments on the re-worked version than what you ever heard on the original.
An important component to this trick though, keep your secrets to yourself as the chef and do not ever tell your family that tonight's version is a "new recipe" of their favorite food. The subconscious mind alone will immediately mutiny and no matter how good the taste or the quality of tonight's meal, their mind is just not going to think this version is as good as the original.
So just play it safe, serve the new version and reap the compliments for tonight's dinner and then the next time you can just casually mention you tried it this way again since everyone loved it so well. Before long, all of your slimmed down, lower calorie, reduced fats, sodium and carbohydrate foods can become a normal part of your family's healthy diet.
Five Easy Re-Do's For Classic Favorites
What's the number one favorite of every casserole ever invented?
Ask this to a group of people and the number one answer is always Macaroni and Cheese. But the fats, sodium, and carbohydrates in this fantastic meal tend to go overboard on any kind of diet plan. So let's keep all the flavor and texture of your own recipe but lose some of the artery clogging fats.
change the use of whole milk to 1% milk to drastically reduce the fats
do not salt the water when pre-cooking the macaroni. Just stir the pasta a few times during cooking and this will help prevent your pasta from sticking together.
change up the full-fat Velveeta cheese product (or American cheese) to a smaller quantity of sharp cheddar. Because the flavor is stronger, you can use less cheese to obtain that great flavor. Some people also like to add about 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese to the top of the casserole for a great taste change.
as a thickener for your casserole, remove the flour from your recipe and add some cornstarch. I know some people who even prefer this done by adding some 100% whole grain oatmeal to the casserole dish before baking to help absorb the excess liquid and give it just a slight flavor twist..
if you need to get some more vegetables into you and your family's diet, add some diced onion, celery or fresh parsley. By using all or any of these singly, it will give just a slight different flavor without adding any measurable amount of calories or fats.
Now getting those vegetables into your child's diet can often be pretty hard, especially with the school age kids. But carrot sticks are really pretty darn boring, but how about carrot curls, radish or tomato roses, green onion daisies, cucumber fans etc.. A few simple swipes with a knife and a glass of water can often work miracles when it gets your kids to eating vegetables.
Another fast and simple method which somehow makes those vegetables a whole lot tastier is Vege Kabobs. A simple wooden skewer, an assortment of fresh vegetables, cooked or raw, and a simple side of tasty salad dressing is all it takes to take vegetables from bland to exciting.
Your third makeover suggestion, if you have a child, who hasn't heard of chicken nuggets? Sometimes I actually wish the chicken had never gave us such a quick fast food favorite. All of that grease or oil, breading mix and egg wash is a waistline's downfall any day of the week. So a few tweaks to dress up the chicken and make him just a little more compatible to a slimmer waistline include:
use all white meat instead of the dark meat
remove the skin before coating
do not deep fry. Use a small skillet with a small amount of olive oil or even better is use the oven for a baked version of chicken nuggets
use a homemade breading mix which is lower in fats, calories and sodium than the standard fast food faire.
For a quick summertime treat on a hot summer day you need to head to the freezer and grab a popsicle. But the amount of sugars, artificial colorings and dyes and artificial flavors in those can take this treat and blow your health concerns all out the window.
Don't worry though, a couple of super easy ingredients and your own freezer is all it takes to make your own homemade versions without anything artificial on Mom's homemade label.
And finally the kids are starved, Mom and Dad are still at work and what are they supposed to grab. Most kids hit the junk foods or the freezer and there grab a box which can be zapped in the microwave. But from now on, forget the deep-fried, pre-cooked pizza pockets, or breaded mushrooms from the microwave. Potato chips straight out of the cooking oil aren't any better.
But what you can fix simply at home ahead of time and store for when the kids need a few bites is fresh veggie chips. Pick an assortment of fresh veggies, slice thinly, season lightly and bake until done. You just saved yourself a ton of money over the grocery store gourmet foods selections and you have still served a fast, fresh and delicious, nutritious snack the kids will still love.
So when you need to makeover a few old-fashioned classics that become the new generation favorites, a little ingenuity and some kitchen time can solve your whole family's quest for some fast, simple but still delicious fast food treats.

While living in France, my family learned to love some recipes that we really miss now that we're back home. After some experimentation and a few boo-boos, success is mine!
Our first favorite is pain au chocolat. Roughly translated, it is chocolate bread, and it is a favorite breakfast food in France. It is also extraordinarily popular as an after school snack. This food is so popular, they sell them in plastic wrappers in packs of 8 or 10, just like our hot dog buns! Now, keep in mind that the French version uses a type of croissant dough that takes hours to make by hand. I found the following two methods give me a reasonable substitute that my family likes.
First and probably easiest is the crescent roll version. I open a can of crescent rolls, but separate the pastry into rectangles by keeping two of the triangles together. I press the seams with a moist finger to seal them together. One can makes 8 crescent rolls, so it makes 4 French pastries. I have a big family, so I need 4 cans. If you have a small family, you can make do with two cans. Next, take your favorite plain chocolate bars ( like you would use to make S'mores) and cut the bars into strips parallel to the short side, about 1/4" wide. Lay out one rectangle of dough, and put two strips of chocolate on top, set in from each short end enough so that you can take each end and fold it over the chocolate. The edges of the two folds should touch in the middle of the pastry. Once you have folded the dough, turn it seam side down and go on to the next one. Once you have them completed, bake the dough as directed on the package. When they are done, pop them out of the oven and serve them warm. You can use dark or milk chocolate, but traditionally the French use darker chocolates than we do.
The second method is to buy frozen puff pastry squares and follow the rest of the instructions above. These are a little closer to the true texture of the bread dough used in France, but a little more costly to make.
With either method, you could substitute a line of chocolate chips for the strips of chocolate if you don't have bars of chocolate on hand. Since it all melts in the end, it really doesn't matter.
Another favorite food from France is raclette. Now, raclette is a cheese, but it is also a method of cooking, coming from basically the same region of Europe as fondue. Raclette is a semi-firm cheese, with the Swiss version being a little firmer (and tastier, in my opinion) than the French variety. Either will work in a pinch. You can find raclette cheese in many supermarkets now, as well as gourmet food stores and some natural food stores. Raclette uses a special grill that has a flat top and an area below with small trays. The cheese is put into the trays and placed inside the grill to melt. Raclette grills can be purchased at specialty stores for a really "special" price, but T-Fal makes an electric version that I bought for about $40. It is a tabletop appliance.
Raclette is traditionally done like this:
Choose your favorite cold cuts, such as salami, priscuitto ham, olive loaf, etc. Arrange them on a plate in rows or columns that appeal to your eye. Slice (or get the market to) the cheese into 1/3 to 1/2" thick slices that will fit into your cheese trays. Arrange these slices on the meat tray as well.
Next, bake or boil some potatoes whole. I bake them here in the USA, but they were often boiled in Europe. While they are cooking, make a little salad of mixed greens, or shred some carrots into a pile on each plate, or cucumber slices, whatever you have and like. Open a jar of cornichons (these are little dill style pickles the French love). You can buy them at almost any supermarket now, but if you don't have them, substitute your own pickles. This method of cooking is all about the fun, not whether or not it is mechanically correct.
When your potatoes are done, put one on each plate with some of your veggie or salad and pickles for edible garnish. Turn your grill on and let it heat for a few minutes while you get the drinks ready. Every person uses their own tray to melt the cheese, which is then poured over their potato. My kids like to grill their meats on the top, but I prefer mine still cold. It is up to you!. Eat and laugh and talk while enjoying the meats, potatoes and cheese. You can't mess this up! Cold cuts, cheese, baked potatoes- simple and wonderful.
The greatest thing about raclette (other than the quality fun time) is the clean up. In my house, there is rarely any food left, so I usually don't even have to wrap the left overs. There are plates, forks, a few cheese trays, and your glasses. No hot pans with sticky messes, no oven pans to wash, and most everything can pop in the dishwasher.
Now, this is not the cheapest meal you can make, but we treasure it so much that we do this every other month or so. If you like fondue, you are sure to love it. If you have never had fondue, give this a try. I bet you'll fall in love with it, too.
A favorite adult drink of ours is the Kir. It is an aperitif, or before dinner drink. This is easy as pie and absolutely delicious, even if you are not a wine drinker. Here's the recipe:
Chardonnay wine (traditionally French Aligote, but you can't usually get that here)
Creme de Cassis
Chill the wine. In a wine glass, put one part creme de cassis to 3 or 4 parts wine. I say 3 or 4 because it depends on the quality of the creme de cassis as to how much of it you need to make the drink right. When it is done right, the wine will have a slightly sweeter taste than normal.
Variations:
Use: Creme de Framboise
Creme de Mure
Creme de Myrtille
instead of the Creme de Cassis.
OR:
Use champaigne instead of chardonnay for a Royal Kir.
My favorite is Framboise, but I like them all! The cremes can be added to red wines, too, but that is not really traditional.
These are just a few of the things we found that we didn't want to do without just because we came home, so we have incorporated them into our lives here in the USA. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
I am a mother of 4 children and an avid reader. Our family lived in Europe for 3 years and loved it! I have started my own blog, where I plan to write about places we've been, things we've learned, and what we like. I work from home and am currently writing a book.

Often it seems that the world is simply obsessed about losing weight. But, even though there are more diet products and books designed to help you get rid of body fat and promise easy weight loss, the fact of the matter is that Americans are getting fatter with each passing year. Many medical professionals suggest that one basic way to achieve a healthy weight is to start by adding more low fat foods into your daily menus.
Many people have the mistaken idea that when you focus on eating more low fat foods that you have to give up a lot of taste and flavor. But in reality, if you know a bit about cooking and seasoning, it is easy enough to reduce the amount of fat in a dish and still have lots of good flavor that will make the meal palatable to the whole family and that won't make them feel like they are dieting.
One of the tricks to using low fat foods in your meal planning is to find really great cooking recipes. There are many books on the market, as well as specially targeted websites, that have collections of recipes for low-fat cooking. These recipes focus on adding flavor through using spices and flavorings and on different cooking methods that allow you to cook using less fat and oil during the preparation.
With a good selection of healthy recipes in the kitchen, there is no longer any reason that low fat foods cannot be a main part of a families regular diet. Even finicky eaters can enjoy health food and snacks even cookies. I recently wrote a review on the cookie diet and where to buy cookie diet cookies [http://loseweightplans101.com/healthy-snack-food] that was very interesting. well. There are many chicken recipes, beef recipes, salad recipes, and even dessert recipes that are very tasty but that help to keep the fat low and the nutritional value in the meal high.
In addition, these days you can find many types of prepared gourmet food choices in the supermarket that has been prepared in such a way that it can also qualify to be in the low fat foods category. In addition to pre-packaged foods that are low-fat, many times the deli departments of modern supermarkets have many freshly prepared side dishes and main dishes that have been specially made to be low fat, low calorie healthy meals. This is a wonderful timesaver for busy families and a terrific way to get fast, healthy food instead of relying on fast food restaurants for convenience.
Even if you only replace a small percentage of your regular foods with low fat foods, like the foods in the negative calorie diet plan [http://loseweightplans101.com/negative-calorie-diet], you can significantly improve the overall quality of your meals and help your body lose fat and lose weight. It is actually better for your body to make small changes to your diet over time, and as you do you will find you enjoy better health and that it is easier to maintain a proper weight when you eat more healthy food.

Going on a search for the best quality dog foods has been a much bigger project than I initially imagined. I decided to start trying different dog foods after the ongoing concerns with the quality of dog foods and because our male Border Collie, Rodeo struggles with stomach problems and has joint issues. I wanted to make my own determinations on safety and quality on any dog food I choose to feed my loving pups Rodeo and Maddie and of course they were pretty sure they should have a say too.
It's probably worth mentioning that I have been in the dog business for over twenty years so I did have a pretty good idea of what I was looking for in a dog food. However, I was shocked at the lax regulations within the dog food industry. It is so easy for a food company to manipulate the information they put on the outside of their food package and then call it nutritious.
I was even more surprised to find that some of the so called quality foods that you would pay a hefty price for in the discount stores are actually not what they make themselves out to be! That's what those advertising dollars are paying for. Which leads me to my first big tip, throwing money at a high priced dog food does not make it a best quality dog food.
I started by properly learning how to read a dog food label. There are many tricks and frankly deceptive practices that make it a priority to learn how to read a label. Here is a shortened version of that process to help you get started. The first set of labeling rules comes from the FDA and must list the following information:
The product must be identified as a dog food
The weight, volume or count of the dog food
Name and location of the manufacturer
Listing of all ingredients by their common name
Listing of all ingredients in descending order by weight
The next agency that may be policing your dog food is the AAFCO or the Association of American Feed Control Officials. AAFCO is not a government agency like the FDA, instead its members are made up of state and federal employees from various agencies and employees from pet food companies. They have additional rules and label regulations on top of the FDA regulations for pet foods. However, dog food regulations vary from state to state and not all states agree to AAFCO regulations.
It's noteworthy that AAFCO statements only appear on commercial dog foods, which means the natural diets and homemade diets can not be compared using these standards.
With the dog food companies using adorable packaging with cute and catchy names, it's easy for them to imply that their food is made with good stuff and your dog's will love it. When in truth, they are hiding the poor quality of their food behind fancy advertising techniques. It's natural for us as consumers to gravitate toward the more attractive packaging, which is why it's important to learn how to read the label.
Confused already? Let me explain what I mean when I refer to some companies hiding the poor quality of their dog food. For starters, it's completely possible that you can purchase a beef dog food that may not actually contain any beef! The problem lies with the rules and regulations allowing the companies to hide poor food ingredients behind wording twist and with hidden meanings. Here are a few of the statements that are used on food labels that can be misleading:
With Chicken Flavor - Flavor is detectable but doesn't have to have any actual Chicken meant present in the product.
With Salmon - The product contains at least 3% salmon. So if you buy a product that says "now with real beef" it may only have 3% real beef in it!
Beef Dinner - The product must contain at least 25% Beef.
Liver For Dogs - At least 95% of the product must be liver or 70% including water
Along with the misleading phrases above, there are many other dog label statements that you will need to be wary of: Natural Food, Organic Food, Gourmet Food & Premium Food - A dog food can say "Organic" but it may not necessarily be 100% organic. You should also look for artificial flavors, calories, antioxidants as potential misleading ingredients and all of them vary between manufacturers and product lines.
It's also important to point out that ingredients are listed by weight but they are listed before they go through any processing. This gives manufacturers another way to pad their label. By listing the weight of the meat in it's hydrated state, it's obviously going to make it higher up on the label than the same ingredient after going through the dehydration process. In other words, the label is giving you the amount before processing in it's original form, not what you are actually getting after all of the moisture is removed during processing.
Watch for poor ingredients that have been split. For example, instead of using a whole grain such as rice, the manufacturer separates the grain into a lesser product such as rice bran and rice gluten. These are far inferior products.
So now you have a good idea of what not to include in your best quality dog foods so what rules should you follow when choosing a safe food?
Always read the label and if you have questions, ask them!
Make sure the first ingredient is a whole meat source such as salmon, chicken or lamb.
Absolutely NO protein or meat by-products like bone meal and meat meal.
Never buy anything that has leftover animal products from rendering plants.
Avoid low quality grains like corn or split grains like rice gluten that create an inferior product.
Use human grade foods or organic or natural - remember that these terms are not yet regulated.
Stay away from preservatives - a good rule is - if you can't pronounce it - leave it!
There is no need to choose foods that are too specific such as for a specific breed. They do not offer any great advantage and will likely cost your more money.
When you are searching for your best quality dog foods, make sure you choose more than one. Look for 3-5 quality foods that agree with your dog and offer different flavors and different protein or meat sources. This way your dog gets a change in variety and by feeding multiple food sources you help fill in nutritional gaps.
Once you know what to look for it's time to start sampling foods. There are lots of companies that offer free samples, so if you are interested in particular brands, give the company a call and usually they are glad to send out samples to a new potential customer.
Keep in mind that each dog is unique and no one food is right for every dog. While I think discussing your dog's diet with your vet is always a good idea, I'm a big fan of you, as a pet parent being the one to make those choices together with your dog. Why? Well, you know your dog better than anyone and you are the one to notice those little nuances like when they are not feeling well, or if they are hurt etc. So you will also be the one to know whether or not your dog likes or dislikes a new dog food and whether or not the new food agrees with your dog.
Keep a journal of what you fed your dog and how they liked it and if they had any problems. Make sure you don't mix foods and only feed them one at a time. Wait a few days in between switching foods or you will have a dog with a big tummy ache and you won't get an accurate read on whether or not they liked each food and how it agreed with them.
Don't let yourself become intimidated during this process. This is all about you making a life long healthy best quality food choice for your dog that is directly related to their daily health and their lifespan. Use the tips above and good old fashion common sense when making decisions. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Utilize forums, ask a vet online, your personal vet, a friend or you're always welcome to contact me through one of my contact forms.
As a pet parent, I want to emphasize the importance of choosing quality ingredients. Maddie and Rodeo are certain that it absolutely must taste good! Consider any additional personal health needs that your dog may have and start choosing a best quality dog food!

Eating healthily doesn't have to mean eating tastelessly. To the contrary, gourmet food has now taken on a whole new meaning in delicious health. It is no secret that the American diet is lacking in quality nutrients. Obesity levels continue to climb to levels unforeseen. 100% preventable diseases take their toll on progressively more and more people every year. There has been a terrible shift from the household kitchen to the local fast food "restaurant" as the primary source of our dietary intake. It is time to break the habit! It's time to take back our health.
Many people erroneously consider healthy food to be bland food. We have good news! Healthy eating doesn't have to mean sitting in front of a plate full of raw vegetables and munching away until your teeth hurt; there is a better way! Because of the epidemic of malnutrition and food intake patterns loaded with saturated fats, there has been an amazing demand for the development of dietary choices that are not only delectable, but packed full of high-quality nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, essential amino acids and other life-enhancing elements.
You need to know what to cut out and what to make sure to include in your food intake regimen. You have to understand why "diets" fail. You need to embrace a shift in the way that you look at food. Let's examine some of the foods that we need to avoid and some alternatives for them. When you think about each of the following foods, really consider how it feels to eat them. Think about how your body feels after you eat them. Here we go:
- Deep Fried Foods
Consider this: fried foods are placed in a cooking dish filled with artery-clogging fats. Your meal-to-be bathes in these oils - soaking them in deeply. The probabilities for contracting heart disease and cancer are both highly accentuated by the ingestion of deep fried foods. The human body is not meant to have to constantly endeavor to detoxify and metabolize such outrageous amounts of fats. Steam, boil, broil, bake or grill your foods instead.
- Processed Foods
Our marvelous human bodies are designed to benefit from the foods that nature provides us - not what a laboratory does. Processed foods contain very little to no actual nutritional matter. Chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, fillers and fats are what you eat when you eat processed foods. Besides starving the body of what it requires for health, you are loading it with more elements to detoxify. Just because we have livers and kidneys to purify ourselves doesn't mean that we have to work them to death! Concentrate on consuming the limitless food choices that have no labels. Food that is good for you is just being itself!
- White Sugar, White Flour - Anything Bleached
It has been known (and overlooked) for decades that bleached foods are not only emptied of nutrients, they are detrimental to our systems. They also lack flavor. They are void of nutrients and filled (again) with elements for your body to have to fight to assimilate. Consider raw sugar - sweet and wonderful. Opt for whole grain flour and breads. They are loaded with amino acids and other very necessary nutrients that our bodies have to have in order to function, heal, repair, grow and sustain our lives. Choose long grain, wild rice. There are endless, delicious varieties from all over the planet!
Your health is only for you to protect. As much as anyone may love you, they are helpless to ensure your health. Embrace a mental change in the way that you perceive food. Change the ways that you prepare your food. Get back into the kitchen of your home and stay away from the fast food restaurants. Ingest food sources that are water-rich (like fruits and vegetables). Avoid high-fat foods like bacon and lasagna. Teach yourself to modify your favorite dishes to be healthful instead of hurtful.
Healthy eating doesn't just taste better; it is so much better for you.
Begin to enjoy and elongate your life through healthy food intake choices today and remember what it is to feel vibrant!

There isn't a better way to say a genuine thank you or a sorry than with gourmet foods gift baskets. The fact that these foods aren't enjoyed on an everyday diet makes it special and speaks of your intentions. There are hundreds of goodies that can be chosen to form a gourmet goodie baskets. Here are some of them:
- Wine: Good food and wine have always been great companions. A typical wine/beer gourmet food basket would include a classic wine, some gourmet cheese and crackers. Some gift shops allow customers to customize their wine bottles by etching them with logos, text, images, renderings, etc. These can be used as a promotional item, especially to announce a product launch.
- Cheese: These are usually included in the gift baskets with wine. You can choose from a wide variety of cheese, including new cheese, flavored cheese, aged cheese, blue cheese, cheese assortments, and even cheese serve ware.
- Ice creams: Who wouldn't love delectable ice creams and sorbet that melts in the mouth? You can choose from a wide variety of flavors from the exotic (made with vanilla beans from Madagascar) to the simple (chocolate caramel).
- Chocolates: Chocolates are another favorite choice of gourmet gift baskets. You can choose from a wide variety of truffles, cookies, candies, Easter bunnies, brownies, chocolate covered berries and nuts, tiramisu caramels...the list is endless. Chocolates are a favorite among companies looking for corporate gift ideas. These can be customized with the company's logo and brand name as well.
- Fruits and vegetables: Gift baskets with exotic fruits and vegetables are sure to be loved by the health conscious. Rustic fruit preserves, rare truffles, tropical fruits, olives, vegetable spreads, pickled vegetables are some of the ingredients that make up an exotic fruits and vegetable basket.
- Meat: Hams, bacon, hickory smoked meat, cured sausages, tenderloin, salami, and foie gras are all favorites in a food gift basket. You can also choose to include spiced leg of lamb. For a little extra cost you can buy organic meat that is free from chemicals.
- Seafood: Seafood is a popular choice for gourmet food baskets. But gifting these can be a little tricky. Because sea foods tend to perish easily, you will have to be very sure that the food is preserved well. Caviar, lobsters, clams, anchovies, shrimps, smoked fish, tuna, crab meat, calamari, salmon fillets, mussels, are some of the popular ingredients in a seafood basket.

In this article, Nomi Shannon shares on energy soup, green juicing and surviving the transition to raw food. Nomi Shannon is raw foodist who has worked at the Hippocrates Health Institute and is the author some amazing books on raw food preparation including "The Raw Food Gourmet" and "Raw Food Celebrations."
Kevin: Can you explain, for some people who might not know, what's an energy soup?
Nomi: If you Google energy soup, you'll come up with 500 recipes, but the original energy soup was made by a woman named Anne Wigmore, who actually started all of this whole raw food movement. She's the lady who researched different grasses and had a scientist evaluate them and came up with growing wheat grass and juicing it. I mean to my knowledge no one has ever done this before. We are not going back to the first century where people made wheatgrass or even when they chewed it and swallowed it and spat out the pulp. It's actually a new creation and the reason for it is that even back when she did this, which is in the late 50s early 60s, the soils were very depleted. They're triply so now. Even the very food we were eating, the spinach we eat today, is nothing in its nutritional breakdown, the amount of iron in it; to the spinach that grandpa ate in the 1900. It's shocking the difference because of the depleted soils.
So she came up with the wheat grass concept as an ultra extreme nutritional concept and also the growing of the sprouts. She came up with the energy soup because juicing is very, very expensive, you are buying a huge amount of produce. So she came up with energy soup also for economical reasons, and that's to blend it. It was something like a whole bunch of sunflower sprouts, a whole bunch of buckwheat sprouts, maybe a quarter to half of an apple for sweetness, a little bit of lemon juice, I don't know, a couple of other things maybe and it would be blended up. I got to tell you it tasted like mud.
So now there are a gazillion energy soup recipes, some of them people start making with oranges, yams, carrots, that isn't really energy anymore, it's soup. An energy soup is very, very green. And it's still greater to use sprouts or mixed greens because you're getting a big hit of green. And then, very recently, the green smoothie craze started and that's similar to an energy soup but has way more fruit in it and it's very palatable. For people who are OK with eating a bunch of fruit, it's great. My green smoothie has 12 cups of greens in it. It's a different kind of green. It could be sprouts, mescaline, mixed greens, a little bit of orange juice maybe and some frozen banana. There are some people who aren't able to eat fruit for a while, whether they have a candida or even cancer. People feel sugar feeds cancer. So they might be eating more of the energy soups than the green smoothies. And there's a lot of juicing, too. Juicing is the most sublime way to get a fast hit of nutrition into your body without the body having to work very fast and very hard.
Kevin: Can we talk about patience and how important it is in any sort of transition?
Nomi: You mean they give up too soon?
Kevin: Yeah. Have you seen that and what have you used to help people get through it?
Nomi: There are reasons people give up. I don't know whether they don't love themselves enough or believe that this will help them enough. Another transition is the transition from "Tell me what to do," asking a medical professional to tell them what to do, and taking the responsibility themselves. It can be very frightening. I'm not anti-doctor, but it is hard to find a medical person or physician who understands and agrees that a therapeutic, raw program will help someone. They know so little and have so little training with any kind of nutrition, they don't know that even if a person is undergoing chemo or radiation, this can really help them get through that. This is the choice of what to do. They don't get a lot of support in that. So it's very frightening. They feel very alone.
Also another issue is your palate changes so you're used to highly seasoned salted meat, things like that and when you first come into a very simple program like this, even the most gourmet food, you may not like the taste of it, but if you stick with it, a lot of things change for you. Your palate, your taste buds get used to it, and eventually the day will come when you go I have just got to have a green salad and then you know you're there. Because people don't normally go "Oh I have to have a green salad," you know out in the real world, it's sort of like a little dish that's additional to what they eat. When you've been doing this for maybe just a few weeks suddenly your body is getting used to getting the wonderful nourishment and is telling you what to eat.
Cravings, especially for someone who is coming off of the SAD diet, which is the Standard American Diet. "Oh I just got to have a pizza." Now that's a craving where your body isn't telling you the right thing to do, and that can continue for a long, long time. People say trust your body. Well it takes a long time and you have to go through a lot of cleansing. Getting rid of literally toxins that are stored in your tissues, before your body starts saying "Got to have a green smoothie, dying for an energy soup, really want a big green salad." It does happen. You can't listen to your body when it's saying, "Go and get a fudgesical."
There are lots of reasons people leave being raw. One of them is they get a sense of failure. If we're talking about a well person, there's a huge difference between someone, like a lot of people who went to Hippocrates who have a serious health issue and actually really needed to stay totally on a very strict program for quite some time in order to live.
Kevin: Right.
Nomi: And another person, say a young person who says, "I want to live a lifestyle so that I may have a long and healthy life." I don't personally believe that we have control essentially over how long we may live, but I do believe we have complete control over how well we will live within that time we're given. I think the feeling of failure is the biggest. In other words, you go along, you're doing great, you're eating lots of rough food, you're having a green smoothie, you're having a salad, you take it to work with you - that kind of thing -- and then x amount of time into it you go out and have a steak dinner. Whatever it is that is the big thing you think is terrible. A lot of people right there go, "Oh, I blew it."
This is the diet syndrome, any kind of diet...I think of raw food lifestyle as a lifestyle, but a lot of people especially in the beginning think, "This is my new diet." I say to people, "You know, it's only your food." I'm not talking about people who have a life-threatening thing. I'm talking about you and me. We just want to be healthy and make the most of our life, be so alert and feel so physically well that we can do what we want to do. Whether it's our job, serving God, being the best soldier, best politician, best medical doctor because we're clear and we feel great and our bodies are healthy and we're not bogged down.
What happens to so many, many people-it doesn't matter, it could be a Jenny Craig diet-they "fall off the wagon" so to speak and they eat a bad meal and they throw the whole program out. You know what? It's what you do most of the time that really, really counts. If you go have something you think of as bad, whatever it is, a fish meal or quick food, a fried meal, whatever it is, so what? The next day, the next meal, just eat your good food again. It's your food. It's not your religion. That, I think is the biggest cause of dropping out.
No one likes to feel like a failure. If you keep giving yourself the thought that you're a failure and you're less than, you'll eventually going to stop doing whatever gives you that feeling. If you're going to be more comfortable saying, "Look I'm not going to do that anymore. I used to do that," and start eating at McDonald's again. And you don't give yourself that feeling because you're not on the program anymore. It's an unfortunate psychological thing with any kind of regime, like working out. You've been an exercise physiologist for years. I'm sure you've seen that with people, right?
Kevin: Yeah.
Nomi: It's a human nature kind of thing. It's really important to go easy on yourself. With your food, it's what you do most of the time. Say you go on a one-week vacation and you just do all kinds of stuff that you don't think is optimal. Maybe it's just a question of forgiveness. I'm lucky in a funny, perverse way. If I eat a lot of cooked foods, after a couple days, it happens when I travel sometimes, I don't feel very well.
Kevin: Yeah.
Nomi: And I don't like this feeling. I'm spaced out; I can't think as well. My body's a little sluggish. So I just go right back to it.
Kevin: You can correct me if I'm wrong, but the good news about it is just that, isn't it?
Nomi: Yes.
Kevin: Is that once you get far enough into this, when you do go back, which I advocate doing sometimes, it's like trying to see if things still work with you, you'll be reminded that...
Nomi: I'm very lucky... that five days of traveling with lots of cooked food, even really good cooked food, I don't want to feel like that.
Kevin: It's a great way to be.
