• Healthy food is not 'bunny food'. The variety of tastes and textures are abundant. It is absolutely more than just eating carrots and celery sticks. You will find that recipes can be created to replicate the visual and gustatory equivalent of unhealthy food. I make them all the time.

• Natural Food can be more expensive, but you are worth it. If you are cutting out junk food and other bad habits from your lifestyle, this will more than make up for the extra it may cost.

• Organic food is certified by reputable agencies. Don't think for a minute that it wouldn't be revealed if there was any doubt. Naturally grown food tastes a lot better too.

What program or diet do we advocate? Everyone is different, and diet must be individualized and tailored to each person. There is no one single diet that is 'best' for everyone. Some people will do best on mostly cooked and some raw food, others on macrobiotic, and so on. Those who promote the "one true diet" are promoting dogma rather than fact. We have experienced the gamut from meat eating to being vegan.

Generally, we recommend simple, natural organic food. Food that is colorful and has a lot of high water content. Yep, that means lots of fruit 9low in sugar), veggies and salads. Then add some beans, legumes, nuts, seeds and grains. If you eat animal products, you must purchase organic whenever possible and eat them prudently. Our COACHING PROGRAMS are perfect for people who want help in creating their personal program based on their lifestyle, preferences and body type.

Food must look visually appealing and taste great too. This is very important or you won't stick with it. Remember that if your taste has been 'perverted' by the modern high fat, salt, sugar and white flour diet, it will take some time for your taste buds to reacquaint themselves to real food.

The recipes and suggestion we give on our site are wheat, meat and dairy free, but if you choose to add your favorite meat and dairy dish as a complement, feel free.

Please choose your food wisely and eat consciously for your health and planetary well-being.

To help you prepare great tasting recipes, I highly recommend the following product:

The Vitamix® Machine: I use my Vitamix daily, often two or three times! It is not a blender, but a precision designed container with high-performance stainless steel blades that combine with a powerful motor to deliver kitchen capabilities that are not possible with any single appliance. Juice, blend, liquefy and grind to create delicious soups, toppings, juices and much more.
