I first came across this book whilst researching the benefits of a Raw Food Diet and found Shazzie's website http://www.detoxyourworld.com/.

The author has been a Vegan for many years and blogged her transition to Raw food on a daily basis the success's and failures and everything in between. It was this blog that prompted me to explore Raw Foodism further as the author didn't appear to embark upon the huge dietary change as a Fad, but ensured that she was in possession of all the facts in relation to good nutritional practice and a sustainable lifestyle change.

Raw Foodism

A Raw Food diet is essentially a diet jam packed with NON - COOKED foods and incorporates Fruit, Vegetables, Cocoa Powder and other non cooked food essentials.

The Book.

Shazzie's writing style is informative and backed up by a plethora of research yet this isn't a book which makes the reader feel as though they are being dictated to, Shazzie retains a human element and sense of humour whilst gently informing the reader of the benefits of Raw Foodism, the science behind the diet.

The book is divided into sections or chapters, with the initial chapter focusing upon the aforementioned science, statistics and general information regarding Raw Foodism.

This is followed by the your Toxic World and Detox Helpers section and delves into non-dietary lifestyle changes incorporating switching to "green products" where possible and useful pointers regarding toxicity in the home etc.

The next chapters focus upon the Detox plan, the guidelines and the tips which ensure you are on the road to success.

There is a Recipe and resources section which are both highly informative.

Results
Does this book live up to the hype?. I followed an adapted version of the Raw Food Diet for a month and lost just under two stone yet felt alert an energised. My skin literally glowed from the inside out, new hair growth was no longer grey but back to my original colour, cellulite was literally banished and I have never felt better in my life.

The downside to Raw Foodism is that it's incredibly difficult to summon the willpower in the depths of winter.


I would recommend this book as a great starting point for anyone wishing to explore the Raw Food concept further or anyone who is looking for a healthy detox and wants to ensure that they detox safely and incorporate food combining to ensure optimum nutrition. A highly informative, well researched book.
