Welcome to Raw Food!
What is raw food? One blog post alone won’t answer that question, but at least it will begin to address the issue. There are a great many health benefits to increasing the quantity of raw food in your diet – increased energy, better sleep, more focus and clarity of mind, less stress, weight loss, preventing or curing various diseases or symptoms, reversing ageing, to name but a few. And believe me, even if it does take some commitment, it can be done simply. And it is so much fun! If you are interested in learning more about it, sign up to this blog. I will post regularly and address various themes, provide you with easy recipes and try to inspire you to try this fantastic way of eating.
My plan is to set up a raw food website in the next few months in French language, in an attempt to fill the apparent lack of information on raw food in the French speaking world. I am located in Switzerland, and therefore will begin focusing on this market for networking purposes, but my website, with its various products and services, will target all French speakers. By signing up, you will be the first to know of latest developments.
Since I have been trained as a Raw Food Coach by Karen Knowler in the UK, half a dozen persons in Switzerland have manifested their passion for raw foods to me, and it’s only been a few months! Proof that this knowledge is spreading, and that the good word travels fast. This blog hopes to bring like-minded people together, share latest information and provide quick and easy tips and recipes to people who want to try raw food immediately.
I will essentially focus on food and how raw food can really make a difference in the way you feel. The quality of the food you eat clearly has a direct effect on how your body and mind work. It’s a simple principle: the purer the food, the higher the performance. But food is not the only element in a person’s journey. It is just one part of it, even if an important one. To feel healthy, fulfilled and radiant, you must nurture your body, spirit and soul. The good news is, raw food affects all three! And by combining raw food with regular exercise and a positive attitude to life, you will be reaching for the stars!
My own approach to raw food has been to choose raw whenever I have a choice of what I will eat (which is most of the time, frankly), put it on offer for my family, but I am flexible the rest of the time. Just remember this: raw food does not have to be a religion. It can be an additional health tool to help you feel great. The high raw diet has worked wonders for me, and turned me into a passionate spokesperson in just over one year. My energy levels have surged, and I feel stronger and fitter than ever. To me one of these benefits alone is incentive enough to make the right choice. “You are what you eat” has never meant to me as much as it does now. This is what I want to share with you. So stay tuned!

Hi Amy
Your site looks excellent. Well done.

Hello Amy,
I like your blog very much and can’t wait to see your website! I am new to raw, only a few months (can’t say exactly when, it came naturally to me) and my life is already changing. I am setting up my own website as well, soon-to-be. I am French, living in Australia (Sydney) and i’ll be very happy to keep in touch with you. All the best and success for 2008.
Thanks to all for your supportive comments! Kavit, you have a great website, and it would be great to touch base one day! Anne, thanks for your post, this blog exists in French as well, I will soon post about it so you can choose which one to follow. And yes, let’s keep in touch!





Wow Amy,
Your blog looks great. Really fresh and exciting. Well done! The food pictures are making me hungry too, so I’m off for something to eat. Looking forward to your next post.
