I have been eating Life Food since the past two years. (I have been macrobiotic since i was 16 years old.) While living in new york city i came to live next door to a totally raw food restaurant named, quintessence restuaurant. I started eating there every day out of convenience. At first I was concerned that i would become too fat with all the nuts and creamy things they eat. Dan, the owner, assured me that there was no possibility and if i was very concerned, to watch my nut intake. By the fourth month i was eating 100% raw. MY BODY FELT LIGHT AND WHEN I WALKED I COULD FEEL EVERY MUSCLE MOVING. I was now concerned that maybe this feeling meant that I was getting too thin! Dan said that the feeling I was experiencing was normal and natural. That it meant that my body was very clean and clear. In fact, my need for sleep became less and my energy increased even more! People have always complimented me on my skin and my energetic projection, however now I began recieving even more compliments. Due to the amount of travelling on planes I do, my digestive system suffers tremendously, however while eating Life Food, my digestive system was working perfectly. My thinking superclear! My yoga practice becoming very advanced (I was able to do 2nd series Ashtanga asanas)! I practiced yoga every day 2 hours with no problems and a lot of desire. At the time (check my journal) I was staying guest in an amazing apartment at Union Square (check out the apartment at the end of the segment!). Dr. Adlersberg would come to my house and I would fix him a Life Food lunch, and he would interview me while i prepared it. I was very lucky to have Dr. Adlersberg in "my home", and we spent a lot of time talking. He was so pleased about the information that I was giving him, that he said he wanted to make the whole show with my segments mostly! AND he was super adimant about wanting to show my book and photos on TV! On my last trip to NYC, Dan recieved a call from ABC NEWS asking to interview him and saying they would like to interview someone who ate Life Food external to the restaurant. He gave them my contact info and they called me the same day. Thanks so much to ABC TV for their interest in learning more about Life Food and eating RAW and for being so kind as to put my portfolio on television too. Dr. Adlersberg said he liked the salad that i made him, although I think i went a bit too piccante with the cayanne peper. I was in a super cayanne peper phase during my nyc stay--good for high speed travelling. In case you are interested, here is the salad recipe. Mind you, there are no quantities because I do it all by eye. HOPE YOU ENJOY! ANINA SPECIAL
