No!? Infortunately, I’m the ‘extraordinary’ exception and not the rule.
“If you want average results, do what average people do. But if you want extraordinary results…”
I eat a raw food diet and I WANT to workout, I FEEL GREAT! I have ENERGY to burn! Want to learn how to get most from your workout – spending less time in the gym and getting healthier and fitter more efficiently? Check out the fitness section of my website……….

The raw food diet is your ticket – not only will you FEEL more ENERGY but you’ll maximize the benefits of whatever exercise program you embark on. It’s all in the FUEL we put in our bodies, and the QUALITY of that fuel.
Athletes are always concerned about Protein, and getting enough of it. Plant based sources of protein are easier for the body to assimilate and less taxing on the liver and kidneys. Eating high amounts of animal protein is not only taxing to the organs, but is associated with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Why protein isolate – an animal food that is highly processed – is highly acid-forming, as is cooked animal foods. Eating too many acid-forming foods promote inflammation, reduce immune function, and cause calcium to be pulled from the bones resulting in lower bone density.
Plant based proteins are present in all fresh fruits and vegetables. 30% of the calories in spinach come from protein, almost 50% from romaine lettuce. The best sources of protein are leafy greens, liquid blue-green algae’s, nuts and seeds, sea vegetables and sprouted foods. A description of some of these protein sources along with additional plant-based food supplements can be found on my website: www.sensationalrawfooddiet
Athletes who experiment with plant-based diets consistently report a substantial increase in energy and a dramatic decrease in recovery time. The advantage of a decreased recovery time is that you can increase the number of your workouts if you choose. You’ll see quicker and better results!
I hope you found this information helpful. There are more diet and fitness tips, suggestions, articles and information on my website along with some excellent recipes I share in my Recipe Membership Program that will maximize your workouts!
Eating a raw food diet is far from boring, and you’ll see the benefits as your body becomes fitter, stronger, more flexible, and agile; your workouts more effective. More bodybuilders, dancers, runners, triathletes, and professional athletes are discovering the advantage of the raw food diet. Join us. You don’t have to be an Athlete to reap the benefits!

IDENTIFY WHAT FOODS ARE HINDERING OR HELPING YOU FEEL YOUR BEST
This morning I joined a friend of mine on the tennis court for a few hours of tennis and I was looking forward to a lively, competitive, hard game of tennis. I felt energized, limber, strong, quick in action, and quick thinking. I felt GREAT!
Instead, when I met my opponent she complained to me how tired she felt, and had been feeling for some time. She knew our game would be lopsided and she would lose, as I knew then with certainty I would easily win. I was disappointed there would be no competitive match.
If you often feel tired regardless of how much sleep you get, try to eat right, and how much you work out it’s a safe bet you are overly acidic – most people are. When you are, you’ll never feel as good as you like. When acidic waste accumulates, it is destructive to your organs causing them to malfunction and break down.
Most foods on the western diet are acid-producing. The raw food diet however is high in alkaline-producing foods. How simple it is to correct this health damaging problem. By consuming more raw fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds you’ll quickly turn your health around. To help identify what foods are both hindering and helping you feel your best see my ALKALINE CHART which you can download from my website http://www.sensationalrawfooddiet.com/alkaline-chart.html
“Your energy will increase, you’ll find new mental clarity and powers of concentration, you’ll build strength and stamina, and you’ll lose excess body fat while increasing muscle mass. You’ll have bright eyes and clear skin. You’ll look better. You’ll improve your athletic performance. Your entire body will function more efficiently. Dr Robert O. Young, MS, D.Sc., Ph.D., Author of “The pH Miracle”
To be top in your game, feeling your best, and enjoying life…….for better health, enjoy all the delicious ways you can prepare raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and become more ALKALINE.
