Her clients soon discover they stop eating out of bags, bottles, cans, and boxes—and start feeling healthier, lighter, and more energetic. Eating raw is easier and tastier than you think. The gift of Stacy’s approach is that it’s not about becoming a “raw foodist” or joining some food religion; it’s about adding foods that will make you thrive.

About this title

About the Author:

In 2007, Stacy Stowers realized a remarkable recovery from the debilitating effects of fibromyalgia and chronic pain after switching to a raw food diet. Now she tours the country living with individual families, and helping them to make the switch to a raw, nutrient-rich diet. When she’s not staying with her clients, she lives in New York with her family.

From Booklist:

There’s raw food, much of which we consume in the form of crudités and salads. Then there’s a raw-food diet (that is, no cooking), which many of us would avoid, if not completely dismiss. But read Stowers’ long testament to the power of raw food, having recovered from fibromyalgia strictly through an adherence to this vegan lifestyle. It’s not a book on a mission but simply one that advocates better choices for healthier living, along with 60 recipes. What is novel about her approach is her straight-on comparison with popular foodstuffs, whether fast-food style or freezer case. For example, substitute the oh-so-popular ketchup and fries for Stacy’s version, a tomato-based sauce-condiment with jicama slices; or try the “flagel,” made with ground faro flour, instead of the 400-calorie counterpart, the bagel. She further heightens the then-and-now dishes with a list of ingredients as well as occasional nutritional information for the “raw” version. Best of all, though, are her nonverboten desserts. --Barbara Jacobs
