Day 20 - I have found the best appetite suppressant!
Hello Hello!
Well in my quest to living foods, I think I have found the best treatment for cravings!
Some of my organic foods were so alive that they had worms inside and I only noticed it after I had eaten my avocado and when I saw 3 fat worms coming out of the brownish side I had not spooned out.
I guarantee you that RIGHT AWAY I was not hungry anymore!
The feeling lasted for a few hours...I think I am onto something: the Worm Diet!
Yesterday morning: raw bread with raw almond butter
20 minutes yoga
Lunch: my favorite restaurant made me a nice raw dish. I started the meal with a mango/carrot fresh juice.
Snack: pistachios and sun dried apricots
Dinner: not raw: a small patty and sauted potatoes
Great night of sleep! and as you can tell no sport yesterday!
Breakfast today: a "wormy spread" and raw bread (spread: avocado, sprouted grains, almond butter - yummy without the worms) - a fresh apple juice
Lunch: same place as yesterday so a nice raw dish with a nice mango and carrot juice
Snack: a few hazelnuts, grapes and 1/4 of an avocado
ok now I am off to some Kick Boxing oh yeah! (just bought a punching bag)
Hope all is well in your world and don't forget to listen to me tomorrow on the Good Life show from 3 pm to 4pm PST. Tune in to www.cknw.com and click on LISTEN LIVE on the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Day 19 - Doing great!
Hello hello,
When I left you yesterday I ended up not doing yoga but a 30 minute MetaBoost instead....Pretty intense!
Lunch was 50% raw and 50% not raw because I was in a Swedish restaurant!
Walked for one hour at a fast pace.
No snack.
Dinner was a great raw salad and a few pieces of fruits.......
nothing special on that day!

Day 18 - They were staring at me!
wow and re-wow....
Before describing my food and exercise of yesterday and the day before, I have to tell you something!
Yesterday as I was walking towards my lunch place downtown Palo Alto, I noticed two or three guys were staring at me as I was walking. My first reflex was to check my back, and then look at my face in case something weird would have made it there! Nothing weird to notice so I kept on walking.
Had an amazing lunch with my friend John who told me "Valerie, you are glowing"!!!! that's maybe the reason why these guys were staring at me!.
Well, let me tell you something: this raw food diet is making me glow! so I am not going away from it!
Ok back to serious reporting stuff:
after my last post, I had 3 baby halloween treats at 4 pm (hey, there are about 500 at home!) but then walked it off with a 1 hour fast paced walk + 25 pounds of products I was carrying.
+
5 x 1 minute of invisible chair...If you don't know how to do it, contact our Certified Fitness Trainer Annette at annette@myprivatecoach.com
Dinner was pure raw: 2 cups of 9 sprouted grains (I am getting wild at this one) with pesto and vinegar + a few pistachions here and there.
Breakfast yesterday: raw bread with raw sundried tomato tapenade
Lunch: a fresh mango/carrot juice and there was nothing raw so I took a vegan quesadilla (still healthy!)...well let's tell the truth: I had 2 of these!
Snack: well I need to throw away these halloween treats! I had 4 of them.
Yoga: 2x15 minutes
Walk: 45 minutes fast paced with high heels
Dinner: raw: broccoli+baby spinach+pistachios+ sprouted grains
Slept like a baby..seems that after all I have tried against insomnia, the raw food diet is my best bet!
Breakfast this morning: a fresh carrot/apple juice....and an hour later, 2 slices of raw bread (remember, a slice is only 2 mm thick!) with raw honney (1 Tbs=60 calories). A warm tea with raw honey.
Now off to some yoga.....talk to you tomorrow!

Day 17 - Back on track!
Hello!!!!!!!!
After the only 60% raw food week end, I am back on track..it is much easier whan I am all by myself so it seems ;o) wink wink.
Breakfast: raw essene bread with raw sun dried tomatoes tapenade and raw pesto (walnut/cilantro).
40 minute uphill jogging
lots of pistachio.....not like a craving but I liked the feeling of it when they crack under my strong teeth!
Lunch: 1 cup of sprouted buckwheat with a little tiny bit of raw sun dried tomatoes tapenade and walnut/cilantro pesto. a few pistachios. I am almost out of them so very soon I won't be able to eat them all day long. and to finish on a sweet note: a few sun dried apricots (they are not orange because they are not treated with Sulphur Dioxide) and 1/3 of a Spirulina coconut raw bar (only 2 millimeters thick!).
30 minutes yoga.......
Feels good to be back on the raw food diet track....so much more energetic!
Talk to you tomorrow and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
Warmest regards,
Valerie the Raw

Day 14 & 15 - You don't wanna know :o)
Hello hello.....
Well, I must admit it is hard to go raw food with a family and friends who like meat, cheese and bread...Cannot really impose my ways to them and it is not very social for a French lady to refuse what people have cooked with love! What I could do though is introduce my friends to sprouted grains....I sprinkle them on top of the salads......seems I can introduce the raw world to them step by step!
So let's say that my week end was something between 50 and 65% raw.....for the rest....you don't want to know...because on top of it, here came Halloween and its Almond Joy!
To eliminate the Almond Joy I ran for 30 minutes on the beach in the morning...plus I walked 2 hours for trick or treating :o)
Some yoga to feel go about myself........and then I had to think my coach...oops! what was she going to say???
So now I am a serious girl....go and read day 16 !
Best!
