Twelve Steps to Whole Foods:
Transforming Your Family’s
Nutrition in One Year!
In the course of a year, you can adopt the habits that took the author 16 years to learn, experiment with, and adopt into daily practice–for optimal weight, health, and energy!

The focus of this course is on natural, unrefined and unprocessed foods, with a strong emphasis on plant foods, 60-80 percent raw. You’ll learn lots of new and exciting ways to use foods that used to nourish mankind for thousands of years before there was a McDonald’s on every corner!

Ionizer 9100
You can do more to change your body’s pH with ALKALINE WATER than you can eating alkaline food ALL DAY. Check out how an ionizer helps you both save money and get healthy, with an incredible promotion on the water system Robyn uses and highly recommends.

BlendTec Wildside
Nobody who is serious about raw, whole-food nutrition (especially getting greens into the diet) should be without a BlendTec, the best blender in the world.

This ideal weight chart might surprise you.

John McDougall, M.D. offers alternate ideal body weight charts showing much leaner body ideals than the government’s upward-trending Body Mass Index (BMI) based on averages. These charts may be “politically incorrect” but more accurately reflect the weights of indigenous people all over the planet who eat whole-foods diets closer to the earth and suffer from little degenerative disease:

Fact: Listen to your body and know what weight it wants to be at. Not what your metabolism wants, because your metabolism may be damaged and in need of rehabilitation and nourishment. But rather, know what lean is for you, and be willing to go there, off the government’s “ideal body weight charts” based on averages, and stay there with a whole-foods diet. Definitely don’t beat yourself up if you are trying to lose weight, and set realistic goals. But don’t make target numbers relative to the BMI chart, how many babies you’ve had, or things that skew a truly healthy weight.
