Get Started
To begin on this health journey is easy. You must start with introducing raw, leafy greens, fruit, vegetables, seeds, nuts and a small amount of oils (olive, coconut, avocado) into your diet, each day. Change your mind-set along the way, too. If you increase your leafy greens, fruit, vegetables, seeds, nuts and oils to a ratio of, say 20% to what you are eating otherwise, why not call yourself “20% Raw”. Then, as time goes by, keep increasing this amount, very soon you may be able to call yourself “50% raw”, then over time “80% raw” where you really are living on living raw foods and have moved pretty much totally away from processed, cooked, dead food.
We recommend an easy way to increase the amount of fruit and leafy greens in your diet is to make Green Smoothies each day. Guess what – that’s a start! But there is a whole lot more to a well balanced, nutritious Raw Food Diet than just Green Smoothies.
You can do this the easy way or do this the hard way – many people find it hard to start on a Raw Food journey and stay on it, all by themselves. We recommend coming to one of our Raw Food Cuisine Classes so you can see how to make breakfasts, lunches, dinners, chocolates, ice creams, cakes, juices, smoothies etc.
Another way of getting the message is to have your employer organise an It’s Up To You Healthy Workers Program and get everyone involved, that way you have a peer support program in place, where everyone is on the same page with healthy eating.
Individuals can start by getting some Coaching, In Personal Raw Food Coaching, Skype or Email Raw Food Coaching or you can attend a Class to see how easy it is to prepare Raw Food.
Whichever way you chose to do it – DO IT – It’s Up To You. You’ll make new friends along the way and have some fun.
Imagine being able to look in the mirror and say ‘hey, gorgeous – looking good!’
You can go raw!
Ask yourself these three simple questions:
- Am I walking around in the body I thought I would be at this age?
- Do I leap out of bed each morning, well rested, full of energy, with a positive outlook for the day and an inner sense of my ability to cope?
- Do I always feel happy and guilt free about the food I eat, each day.
If you answered NO to any of the questions above, you might be ready for a change – no one will do it for you – It’s Up To You.
Talk your employer into inviting It’s Up to You to provide up a Healthy Workers Program at your workplace.
Join It’s Up To You for In Person or Skype or Email Coaching.
