The King & I: A Weight Loss Story

The King and I have lost over 100 lbs. together, I've only lost 30, he has beat me by a few pounds. I wore a size 16 and now I'm size 8, he wore a 6x but now he is wearing 3x. The King and I eat like royalty, only the best produce, organic of course! We eat until we are satisfied, not full, we don't like that feeling any more. We drink the richest, darkest greens in the land to our tummies delight. The Green Drink gives us power and strength and we seem to just put off the pounds that tied us down. The King and I enjoy being light on our feet. We dance, walk, jog and even bike now to a unified beat. The King and I don't eat the animals of the land, instead we enjoy all of the bountiful fruits given to us by mighty hands. The herbs, nuts and seeds they make beautiful dishes indeed. The King and I will enjoy our days by slicing, cutting, blending, dehydrating, mixing and stirring or way into health, happiness, balance, peace, and love. Happily ever after, means you'll be happy after something right? The King and I are happy after the meat, dairy, sugar, fast food, toxins, chemicals and pesticides no longer reside in our bodies.

You can write your own story and take control of your health, there is life after the Standard American Diet (SAD). The King and I wish you the best health ever!

Everything in Moderation, Right? Wrong!

Moderation for me leads to overindulgence, which leads to guilt, shame and often an upset stomach. I marvel at people who are able to eat just a bite of cheese cake and have no more. Maybe they didn't like it or could it just be their will power?

What would you rather be: totally healthy or just moderately healthy, enjoy complete vision or just see with one eye, have use of your legs but because of your heart condition it's dangerous to take too many steps?

If you feel like you do everything in moderation and it is good. The next time you catch a cold or have any illness please enjoy it with a smile and understand it's all in moderation. If we feast on what is not giving life to a living body then we welcome syptoms in "moderation of course" from dead foods that carry host just waiting to move into our bodies. The problem is those host don't know anything about moderation.

We are what we eat even in moderation.

Cooking Up Cancer

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has filed a lawsuit to make California restaurants comply with a state law requiring businesses to warn consumers when their products contain a known carcinogen. (Chelly's note: The definition of carcinogen is: any substance or agent that tends to produce a cancer. According to the FDA all cooked foods contain carcinogens). The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, passed by voters on a ballot initiative in 1986, helps keep toxic industrial pollution out of ground water, and also protects citizens' right to know when a cancer-causing agent is present in other edibles. One of these carcinogens, PhIP, forms when animal flesh is grilled at high temperatures. The most concentrated PhIP levels are found in cooked chicken, and PCRM maintains that the law must require restaurants to post "clear and reasonable warnings" on their food. President and chief executive of the California Restaurant Association Jot Condie says enforcement of the law would cause many restaurants "to take [chicken] off the menu".

WHAT IS "NO BONEZ"?

No Bonez is the name of my future Cafe and Resource Center.  Wouldn't it be great to have raw fast food restaurants in every city in the country?  That way you would always have a healthy option.  No Bonez creatively prepares fabulous raw dishes packed with flavor and nutrition.  Raw catering for any occasion is also an option.  Rawfoodist don't eat animal flesh, hence the name "No Bonez".  Health is Wealth, without health you will not experience life in all of it's splendor! Raw! Yum!

Alive and Raw Cuisine

Feeling stuffed?  Did you eat to much?  Wouldn't life be grand if you could eat and feel great before, during and after each meal.  Gluttony is being greedy or excessive indulgence, overeating.  When you consume a raw diet you eat less and feel satisfied because of all of the fiber in raw fruits and vegetables.  Enjoying raw foods will allow you to eat less, enjoy immense flavor and grow healthier by the day!  Here is an awesome menu plan that anyone can follow.
