“Thank you for the wonderful time yesterday! The movie was a decision maker. I figure if the truck driver could do it, anyone can, and I'm anyone. There are so many people here that I'd like to share this information with. But, I think I need to be an example, like you are and others before sharing the information. You should see my frig, it's stocked up with fresh veggies. Okay kid, take care and I'll be talking to you at 8:45 am Saturday.” Thanks again,Debbie, Georgetown, Ca Wow Debbie!I am so happy you found your Food Awakening and proud of you for taking action. Just as you become a healthy example for others In the movie, Joe Cross was the example for Paul, and Paul was the example for his brother and they have been the example for millions. Remember the 80/20 rule, and just stay focused on thinking about the 20% around you that will someday follow your healthy example. As my stepsister, I know that our Mom & Dad would be very happy we found out in time, that our foods were killing us all, and proud we did something about it. We can put a stop to it in our own lives first, and then encourage those around us. The desire to encourage others in itself, works as a motivator for us to become a doer’s with the desire to pay it forward to the next person. You will have times of trials, so just stay focused on the “healthiest” picture of “You” on the inside, causing outside results! I am so happy that you accepted my invitation to The Food Awakening Party! Thank you for allowing me to post my response and your personal review above on our website. By the way, take many pictures now. Pictures of everything: the fridge, cabinets, foods you prepare to eat or drink and of pictures of you. Nothing will be the same ever again! -Rick
“I bought a juicer and juiced quite a bit over the weekend. I combined that with the smoothie the last couple of weeks I have already noticed such a huge difference in my energy level. It's amazing. Yesterday I had to go into work at 5am (combine that with the spring time change), and I kept expecting to hit a wall and crash. But I never did. I had company come from out of state and I was up until 10:30!!! I felt great the entire time! Thanks for all your encouragement and info.” -Jan, Rocklin Ca
“Michelle and I both did the juicing for 10-days . We are so excited. We will definitely do it again. Our celebration meal is going to be the stir fry with soba noodles, and veggie's”. - Terri, Orangevale Ca
“We are easing into it with 2 juices a day and a healthy meal each day. We will detox a little later. We have a great start going ! We started eating healthy plant-based foods last week, with a healthy dinner out at a nice restaurant in Santa Rosa (with wine) over the week-end, and still ended the week with 5 pounds lost for each of us!” - Bill, Fair Oaks Ca
"After attending your movie and table talk events, I became mad when I realized that if my doctors would have informative the fact that the right foods would be an alternative to taking meds, I would not be in the condition I’m in today. Thank you for coaching me through my new nutritious lifestyle. I am so excited about my new journey. I tell everyone I know about your events. Keep up the health coaching. It has changed my life". - Deb :) Roseville, Ca
“Bill and I got our juicer and have been juicing twice a day…1 meal…. We’ve already lost 5 lbs. Yah who!” - Olympia, Fair Oaks Ca
“Thank you again for thinking to share your passion with Mark and myself! We had been considering choosing to switch to a plant based diet since Rose and Adam have done so well with it over the past year. After seeing "Fat, Sick and Dying" there was no longer a question in our minds. Mark and I are not "sick or dying. Neither of us needs any type of medication at all. We just want to be as healthy as we possibly can be. We decided to "just do it!" Then seeing "Forks Over Knives, and learning that even just a portion of the grain that is used to feed cattle could feed the world... totally "sealed the deal!" All day today, Mark and I have only been eating raw plant foods and will do that again tomorrow. On Monday, we plan to start our juice fast and have pledged to do that for 10 days. Hopefully, I will not be turning into Mrs. Hyde. lol I can tell you that whatever we set our minds to, Mark and I will do it!
With lots of love and appreciation!!!” - Valerie, Roseville Ca
“I am inspired to incorporate more raw foods! It was about 3 weeks ago when Fred B. invited me to the Lunch and Movie event. Just wanted to let you know that although I am not purchasing a juicer, I am inspired to incorporate more raw foods into my diet. I already eat a healthy diet, but I feel the need to eat more raw foods. I bought a raw food recipe book so I can learn how to make a variety of different meals. I am definitely having fun!” Thanks for your inspiration. - Frances, Sacramento Ca
“This program has allowed my blood pressure to go down from 132 to 124 in a months time. I am not hungry and feel great! No more sweet tooth!” - Terri, Fair Oaks Ca
"We changed our Standard American Diet and accepted a nutritious lifestyle of eating "real" foods not "fake" foods. Between Susi and I, we have shed over fifty pounds from our body weight. However, that is just the outside reaction to our new way of eating some great foods. There has been a dramatic internal change evident within my medical conditions.I no longer have my skin disease that I’ve had over 10 years, nor high cholesterol and off the pills. No longer do I have high Type-2 diabetic blood sugar levels...Yea! No longer do I snore...good for the marriage! My lungs and throat inflammation have been reduced to help correct my chronic sleep apnea. Both Susi and my energy levels have increased as well. My only challenge now is to have my doctor do a Thyroid test. If it has also corrected itself from eating the right foods, then the doc will remove me from taking that daily Thyroid drug. I’m researching it through my “Institute for Integrative Nutrition” as one of my specific study reports. There are certain plant based foods, exercises, or supplements that may reduce my Hypothyroid issue.Inflammation is the main reaction caused by the S.A.D. foods we consume. Inflammation affects every organ in our body including the brain and our skin. We also know that it is causes obesity also measured by Body Mass Index (BMI). Susi and I give credit for our life change to the foods we now eat, the two movies that introduced us to a healthy food lifestyle, and to God for the encouragement to persevere.As part of my personal course project, I have been hosting lunch and dinner gatherings to watch a couple of insightful documentaries. Over the last year, these movies are credited with changing lives throughout our nation and the world. We just can’t stand by and see what the bad addictive drug we call the "Standard American Diet” is doing to our friends and family. It too is doing the same to your friends and family. Millions who are changing their eating habits, are also reversing effects of medical problems caused by the S.A.D. food we eat. These SAD foods are slowly killing us.We encourage everyone to investigate and learn about the food facts that have been unfolding over the last few years. From there, it is the choice of each individual to react. And what a great journey it’s been!Here's to good health! - Rick & Susi, Lincoln Ca
