A big part of staying Raw, especially when you’re transitioning, is to keep your meals interesting, varied and exciting. True, there’s a raw food substitute for any cooked meal, but it takes time and guidance to learn to replicate your old favorites and “comfort foods.”

Thanks to raw chefs like Dr. Cher Till, Jan Jensen and many others, I have raw recipes scheduled well into next year!

Another good resource for Raw Food Recipes is my 180 page transitional raw foods recipe book, now available at http://WigmoreDiet.com/

Stay Rawsome!

As always, right after the Holidays is a great time to change behavior patterns and to begin new lives. NOW is the time to start planning for those changes.

Whether you’re looking at the raw diet because of your health challenges, or because you’re looking to take your healthy diet to a new level, this is the time of the year to start!

Studies have shown that it’s best to change multiple behavior patterns at the same time. In other words, if you decide to quit smoking, get more exercise, and begin a raw foods lifestyle – all at the same time – you’ll be more successful than if you try to accomplish them individually or sequentially.

However – “the secret to success is having a plan.”

It’s not enough just to say to yourself, “I’m going raw.” That will work for a while – a few days, perhaps a few weeks – but unless you have tons of willpower, very shortly you’ll find yourself going back to your old habit patterns and comfort foods.

That’s why a plan is important. Let’s consider a plan for going raw:

10 Steps to Going and Staying Raw

1. Assemble the tools you need. A blender – any cheap, used blender – an inexpensive dehydrator, some jars for sprouting, and a variety of raw recipes are the minimum requirements.

2. Assemble your list of suppliers. Where are you going to buy your food? Are you going be mostly organic? You’ll also need to find a supply of sprouting seeds – at least some alfalfa, clover, sunflower and wheatgrass (hard red winter wheat). The wider the variety the better.

3. Read your instructions. Do you know how to sprout, and how to run a dehydrator?

4. Plan what you’re going to do. If you decide you’d like to make angel-hair pasta from zucchini, for example, you might find having a spiral slicing machine handy. This might put you back to step 1.

5. Set a starting date and create your support mechanism. Having a support group is the greatest. Check meetup.com for raw groups in your area. If you don’t know any rawbies in your area, find a raw chat group or two for support.

Share with them what you plan to do, and the date you’re going to start. You’ll find yourself more successful this way, than if you “go raw secretly.” Secret quitting doesn’t work.

While I’m constantly reminding people that we don’t have to justify our lifestyle choices to anyone, sometimes we can’t avoid it. This video I made about Dispelling the Raw Food Myths will help you deal with the standard objections you’re going to hear: http://www.chidiet.com/blog/free-stuff/dispelling-raw-food-myths.htm

6. Don’t forget that you’re going to need to stay inspired as you go raw. Build a collection of books, videos, and CDs before you start so that you’ll have lots of material when you go raw. This will help maintain your momentum. Otherwise you might find yourself running out of steam before you get to the top of the hill.

I find that videos motivate me the most. Instead of watching the news or a movie at night, I’ll pop in a video on raw foods and watch it, instead. chiVideos.com is a good source for these, and if you have high-speed internet you can watch raw videos online at websites like YouTube.com/chidiet.

7. Research shows that it takes 21 days for a new behavior to become a habit; if we move to a new house and now have to turn right instead of left when we leave work, it’ll be 21 days before it seems natural to turn right when head for home.

In dealing with addictions the transitional period is longer. Yes, cooked foods are an addiction. Thus, we need to deal with them as such.

Victoria Boutenko has a good book on this subject – 12 Steps to Raw Foods. Her website is RawFamily.com and the book is on Amazon.com, too. Her book covers the subject in detail, but here are her 12 Steps to Raw Food:

Step 1  – I admit that I have lost control of my addiction to cooked
food and my eating is becoming unmanageable.

Step 2  – I believe that live vegan food is the most natural diet for a
human being.

Step 3  – I shall gain necessary skills, learn basic raw recipes and
obtain equipment to prepare live food.

Step 4  – I shall live in harmony with people who eat cooked food.

Step 5  – I shall stay away from temptations.

Step 6  – I shall create a support group.

Step 7  – I shall find alternative activities or hobbies.

Step 8  – I shall let my higher self lead my life.

Step 9  – I shall make a searching and fearless inventory of the real
reasons for seeking comfort and pleasure from cooked
foods.

Step 10 – I shall let my intuition help me.

Step 11 – Through clarity I will gain happiness.

Step 12 – I shall provide support to other raw fooders.

8. Part of changing your diet and lifestyle is detoxifying the body. Not as a one-time detox, but instead, we should be constantly detoxing. That’s where Dr. Ann Wigmore’s program comes in. She taught much more than a diet. In her books and videos she lays out the procedures for a continuous healthy detox, including the foods we eat, how we combine them, the usage of colonics or enemas, the uses of wheatgrass juice, and more.

The basics are laid out in her book, Why Suffer? How I Overcame Illness and Pain Naturally. While it’s out-of-print, used copies can usually be found on Amazon.com for a few dollars.

Other great books of Dr. Ann’s are Be Your Own Doctor and Rebuild Your Health, both available at Amazon.com.

9. Be aware, not discouraged. You’re going to backslide at times, and it’s normal. Don’t feel like you’ve “failed” if you happen to go out for pizza or a hamburger. Instead, think about how well you’ve been doing, how much better you’re eating than you used to, and how much better you’re feeling since you started going raw.

10. Experiment, experiment, experiment. Knowing that I have addictions to comfort foods, I found new comfort foods. For me that’s fresh blueberries, raspberries, and raw vegan pizza, made with flax crust in the dehydrator. It’s a recipe I’ve included in my book. Victoria’s Step 9, above, has helped me a lot, too.

Overwhelmed? I would be, too, if it weren’t for the teachings of Dr. Ann.

Sometimes I get off the raw path when traveling the country, visiting family and friends. But when I get home I head to the market, stock up on good raw, organic fruits and veggies, then pull out my Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Home Study Program and get back to it.

I’m feeling better, more energetic, happier and de-stressed than I did in my old cooked-food life. MUCH better. My warning is when I felt the arthritis coming back in my knees – that’s my personal sign that I’m not eating right.

Here’s good news: There’s a new Home Study Program. Bigger and better than ever, it’s designed to lead you by the hand from raw-curious to fully raw and healthy.

The program even includes one-on-one consulting by phone and email with long-time Dr. Ann Wigmore Instructors, people that have been doing this MUCH longer than me, and know a lot about it.

This is the most complete collection and comprehensive overview of Dr. Ann’s Raw Living Foods Lifestyle available, designed to get you started, keep you on track, and support you when you backslide. It includes:

The 300+ page 13 Step Raw Living Foods Success Guide
The 180 page Raw Living Foods Recipe Book
Grassy Roots – Back to the Roots of Healthy Eating - 14 episode Raw Food TV show on DVD
40 videos on DVD by Dr. Ann and her Institute Instructors
1 hour of free Raw Coaching  – 2 sessions of 30 minutes
Free email consulting with Dr. Flora van Orden III, Dr. Ann’s long-time assistant
What’s in Your Lunch Bucket? Eat Light – Be Bright, by Jan Jensen, a handbook for active working women
Delicious Raw Food Recipes, by Emily Rutherford of RawFoodRestaurantGuide.com
Menu planners, discount coupons for hands-on programs and much more

I do this to help others attain a healthier lifestyle, and can find no better way to start people on the path to healthy living than this program.

While I totally support and encourage people to take a hands-on program at a Dr. Ann Institute, the Home Study Program is much more detailed.

You’d have to spend months at a hands-on program to absorb this much information. Plus, you have it at home for continual reference and inspiration

I’m really excited about this because, over the years, I’ve received hundreds of thank you letters and success stories from people who have benefited from the Raw Living Foods Home Study Program, and this is the best one I’ve assembled yet!

Everybody says that the best way to learn about the Raw Living Foods Diet and Lifestyle is with the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Home Study Program.

They also say it’s big and expensive.

That’s why I jumped at the chance to do a TV series about the Dr. Ann Wigmore program. We called it Grassy Roots – Back to the Roots of Health Eating.

In 14 episodes I covered all of the basics of Dr. Ann’s teachings. Also, in each show, we did a quick-and-simple recipe or two, and discussed things like sprouting in the kitchen, composting and organic gardening.

Now it’s available on DVD, along with The 13 Step Guide to Raw Foods and my 180 page Transitional Raw Recipe book, all in a special package deal.

This is a special arrangement, and when they’re sold out, that’s it.

Learn more and get your copy today at http://GrassyRoots.com.

I’m sure you’ll love it – but if you don’t, I’ll be happy to take it back, no questions asked.

PS: When family and friends want to debate your lifestyle choice, don’t! It’s a lot easier to share what you’re doing, and why, by sitting down and watching these videos together, then having an informed discussion.

January 14th, 2010 – Yesterday I spoke with Dr. Gabriella Kortsch on her radio program, Re-Wiring the Soul, broadcast from Southern Spain.

On the show we spoke about the raw foods lifestyle, spirituality, and Dr. Ann Wigmore’s motivations in sharing the Raw Living Foods Lifestyle with the world since the 1960′s.

I appreciate your comments!

Inside The Video Vault… One of the biggest myths and misconceptions people have about the raw diet is “how do you get protein?” Here’s a very rare video of Dr. Ann Wigmore herself talking about how raw foodists can get protein in their diets.

Transcript of the video, by Wendy Stams:

We are back again to, a make what we call, a, the replacement of protein.

And again, let me repeat that this living food is not a diet, and it is very complete.  Everything that we do (with) this living food has replacements.

Ordinarily you will have to have, of course, plenty protein; which has always been pointed out – people who are vegetarians are not getting enough protein.

So we put big emphasis on important role that we include plenty of protein.

So, we will make a protein (seed loaf?).  Of course there’s other things than sunflower… over hear we have nuts; and we have, a, we have also, um, some, a … well, any kind of nuts – like sprouts have a tremendous amount of protein.

So, it’s not because living food, everything that we have served, doesn’t have protein.

But that’s back to nature.  Strictly back to nature means nothing, just more things in nature.  So…

This particular, a, sunflower, which is soaked again for four or five hours, and then what we do (generally, gently)… we put it in the blender.

This (referring to the jar of seeds) soaked five hours, sprouted about one day, into the blender, (unable to make out a few words) … let it be blended with Rejuvelac.

Rejuvelac, again, it prevents oxidation, saves time, it helps (slightly, lightly) ferment.  See, living food consists of easy to digest nourishment through fermenting use of sprouts.

And, many, a, say like, greens, which is home grown in the kitchen and then, a, we put big emphasis on this, we call, a “protein slightly fermented”.

This what we’ll be doing here.  We will just blend this and pour into a sprout bag that is the, a, sprout bag with, with the, a, very important, a, thing, because you can hang it up to drain over night.

So let’s start with the blending.

Then we have to (half-mix), the, a, when it get’s thick at the bottom.  The, a, sunflower, especially.  Because it get’s thick and you have to start all over again.

…A little more Rejuvelac.  See, we do not measure anything.  A, because this is the create, to be creative, from your kitchen.  It is actually, a, important to, a, to know, a, to know approximately what to do.

Ok, now, open it, pour in the sprout bag, and then, you can (hang it up, set it up), which I did last night.  This happens to be ready and this is just going to be there all night.

So, a, the, a ready – kin… the ready kind, is for you to see how it looks; and I’m sure the (can’t make it out) …your protein.  There’s no…

I just want to get a plate where I let the, a, sprouts bag produce this (what we call) seed cheese.

I made quite a bit of it because cheese loaves that you make goes very fast.  Some people want to make protein nuggets and actually, we can, a, do it a lot of different ways.

And when I say protein nuggets, I just take some of that and I roll it.  And, (you could, we should)  be doing this later.

(unable to make out a few words) … And, that’s the reason I make so much of it.

And, a, I made a (seed loaf?).  And I’ll show you, too, in a little while, what seed loaf looks like – until I explain about other kinds of protein – such as the almonds.

Almonds actually need to soak even longer than 10 to 15 hours.  They need to be soaked about, oh, sometimes two days because they are very dry.

And then what I do, I put them in, a, hot water, and then, for one to two minutes, they peel very, very evenly; there is no problem in peeling.

See, it’s important to have the skins off because they look better, taste better … there they are.

And, I made some almond crème.  The almond cream is generally used also for different things.

We’ll be using some for the (can’t make out word) to make almond nuggets and also I could take about two tablespoons in a glass of Rejuvelac and I will have this wonderful Rejuvelac Almond Milk.

It takes practice.  Some people say “well, oh, I feel so hungry”.  Now, we don’t … no one needs to go hungry – because that is the best, the really best way to have a lift or a energy that is very, very (healthful, helpful) for busy people.

For anybody here in the audience that’s hungry, come and get it because it is very nice to have a good, substantial drink and very, very quickly.

And, actually, I like to have it available.  So all I did, I took these almonds, I put it in the blender, and I do not strain anything because if I’m going to eat other kinds of seeds, like sesame, I would have to strain them.  And then, a, if I use just ordinary seeds, like … [end]

Thanks,

Dear Jim,

Dr. Ann taught me discipline by her example: She trusted in the God she prayed to and who spoke with her., asking her to have: “Justice toward all, to wrong none, never abuse authority, nor, by dress or any other external mark of rank, allow one to outshine one’s neighbors (humility), to love truth, expose liars, keep your soul pure by not stealing or getting money from unholy enterprises, to conceal nothing and yet don’t share what was told to us in confidence with anyone; have self control, speak in turn, purify oneself with water (inside and out), chew grass or use it’s juices, and don’t speak with anger or complaint.”

She spoke of two ways, like the International Biogenic Society’s teachers, of: light and darkness, which would become one way when one had detoxed.

She didn’t want me to talk about the parasites which inhabit people’s bodies who eat flesh. She said that God told her that God would help the person purge all of theses, getting rid of every negative harmful thing from our bodies, and that this would cleanse us through a Holy Spirit from all negative practices, and allow the Spirit of Truth to be as purifying water to clean us from all abominations and from wallowing in the spirit of impurity, which will give us insight into the knowledge of the Universal Intelligence and into the wisdom of the sons of Heaven, to give the perfect way of understanding.

The blended and juiced foods allowed a washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit. Once clean, the Lord would nourish one, and heal the sick. “Those who before had been dying in grief will arise in joy.”
Peace and love be with you,
Flora

In the seven years that I’ve been involved in the raw food movement I’ve been gratified by the rate and amount of it’s growth. Sales of fresh fruits and veggies are the highest they’ve been in decades, and the awareness and acceptance of what we’re doing is higher than I’ve ever seen.

I retired from the computer industry in ’99, then discovered the Dr. Wigmore program of raw living foods at Creative Health Institute and changed my life in ’01. A year later I found myself the Director there. I saw it as a good use of my time in retirement, a way in which to give back to the world all that’s been done for me.

Initially I thought I’d help out for a year or two, get the center back on it’s feet, build a website for them, start a newsletter and install a computer network.

I had no intention of embarking upon a second career, but that’s what happened.

In 2001 there were only a handful of websites and resources. Friends would email me links with the message, “Look, a new raw website!”

If you did a Google search on “raw foods” you’d get several dozen page matches. I just did a Google search on the same term and got back 260 million page matches. Now THAT is a growing movement!

Finding raw recipes used to be a challenge; I just looked and found five dozen raw recipe books on Amazon.com alone, as well as numerous websites like chiDiet.net that publish new raw recipes every day. I love it!

I love it that Susan Schenck has published her encyclopedia of the raw foods movement, The Live Food Factor – I used to know everybody in the raw food movement, but now I rely on Susan’s book to sort out who’s-who.

I love it that movies like Supersize Me and Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days are reaching the mainstream market and showing in theaters, raising awareness of the dangers of the Standard American Diet (SAD).

What’s Next?

Recently I was asked why I didn’t retire again (can one re-retire?).

“The raw foods movement is taking care of itself now,” I was told. “You’ve done what you set out to do. Why not go back to traveling, see the world, and enjoy your retirement?”

Tempting. I’ve thought about it for weeks.

What I’ve seen, however, is that Dr. Ann Wigmore’s work isn’t done yet. While it’s gratifying that the raw foods movement has grown so much, Dr. Ann’s program was about much more than just eating more fruits and veggies.

That’s why I call it the Wigmore Lifestyle. Dr. Ann’s program embodies an entire way of life, a healthier way of living.

Dr. Ann took sick, diseased people and showed them the way back to a healthy, happy life. She led them through detoxification and into healthy eating, true, but she also addressed the issues of stress, exercise, nutrition, food combining and more. Dr. Ann revived juicing, especially of Wheatgrass, growing sprouts at home in limited space, and created foods like Rejuvelac and Veggie Kraut – all radical ideas.

Each of the elements of her Lifestyle is important to maintaining a wholistic, healthy body and a positive outlook on life.

Her lifestyle is often simpler than the typical raw diet. It’s really about re-learning how people were designed to eat before industrialization shifted population into the cities.

Dr. Ann saw that all healing – and good health – is Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. She had a theology degree (along with several other degrees), but never preached – she taught that it’s important everyone recognize, acknowledge and follow their personal spiritual path as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Like I said, wholistic.

In Conclusion:

I guess I can’t retire. Not yet, at least. Wherever I speak I meet audiences that are predominantly raw fooders, ones that are doing better than they were on the SAD, but still find themselves with health challenges, deficiencies and toxicities.

I say “Thank You!” to all of the raw food advocates out there – around the world – for all you do. But when it comes right down to seeing people heal their health challenges and recover their lives, it’s Dr. Ann’s program that works. So I’m not retiring.

Not yet. There’s still work to be done, and a message to share.

What I’ve Done Lately:

I’ve updated and modularized the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Lifestyle, and by printing in higher volumes, lowered prices. Learn more at chiDiet.com and chiDietVideos.com.

This is a biggie – I’ve created an online version of Dr. Ann’s Raw Living Foods Home Training Program, and of my Grassy Roots “Introduction to Dr. Ann Wigmore” TV show. You’ll find them both on RawLife.org

Yours in Great, Vibrant Health!

I get many, many emails from people who went raw for a while, and then got into other health challenges.

That’s why it’s so important to educate yourself about what truly is a raw living foods lifestyle. The Ann Wigmore Institutes around the world do a good job of that, as does the Dr. Ann Wigmore Raw Living Foods Home Study Program.

The Home Study Program is available again, and it’s got more material in it than ever before: chiDiet.com.

Dr. Ann Wigmore taught that toxemia and deficiency are the root causes of all disease.

Deficiency that means that our bodies are undernourished and are not receiving the proper types and amount of food the body needs. The digestive tract is being overloaded and allergies have developed. Dr. Ann Wigmore believed that about eighty per cent of the population has deficiency disorders because of the body’s inability to digest food. This is why she developed methods for blending, sprouting, and fermenting. Living Food is supremely efficient nourishment that returns the body to health and productive self-healing.

Toxemia is a term used to describe poisons that are stored in the body. Toxins are formed from eating impure or unnatural, processed and chemicalized foods. Dr. Ann taught that the body can release these stored poisons by feeding it with Living Food in easy-to-digest form. Once the body eliminates stored poisons that have accumulated in the bloodstream the cells are able to receive nourishment, thus enabling the immune system to strengthen and rebuild.
