A sample 100% Raw Food Week.
I’m often asked what 100% raw looks like. So I created this chart to represent the components of a day’s intake. The main entrees (breakfast, lunch and dinner) represent 20% each of the days intake, totally 60%. The remaining 40% is represented by two salads before the lunch and dinner entrees, a snack and a dessert. The three entrees and the remainders equal 100%. Change the chart to suit your needs. If you eat a big breakfast, but no dessert, maybe breakfast represents 30% of your day’s intake. The main thing is that you can see what a 100% week can look like.

DAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!  This looks sooooooooooo good!

Here are some of the healthiest foods you should incorporate into your diet.

1. Quinoa

I love this stuff. Quinoa is a gluten-free whole grain with a slightly nutty flavor. It’s high in protein and fiber, low in fat, and has a low glycemic index. It also contains folic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and copper.

How to prepare: Soak your quinoa by rinsing it and covering it with water overnight. This removes the phytic acid that inhibits mineral absorption. Rinse well, then make an easy recipe like Veggie-Turmeric Quinoa.

2. Chia

Chia has been around for millennia, but it’s recently been getting a lot of good press. Chia is high in omega-3 fats, protein, calcium, potassium, and iron. The seeds are also high in fiber and antioxidants. If you’re looking for a good brand, I love The Chia Co.

How to prepare: Try making the Power Protein Smoothie.

3. Pomegranate

High in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and fiber, pomegranate is a healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth.

How to prepare: Split open the fruit and spoon out the seeds.

4. Kale

This dark, leafy green is rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes including vitamins K, A, C, and E, as well as magnesium, fiber, calcium, and omega-3 fats.

How to prepare: Eat kale raw. Try my Dharma’s Kale Salad or roll it around some avocado.

5. Probiotic and Enzyme Salad

Protect your immunity and enhance your beauty with my fermented cabbage, which is teeming with probiotic and enzymes. It will improve your digestion and help you de-gunk your system.

How to prepare: You can find the recipe in here.

6. Glowing Green Smoothie

What are you waiting for? If you haven’t tried it, now is the time! The GGS not only starts your day with easily digestible vegetables, but it is loaded with fiber, vitamins, enzymes, and other nutrients.

 

How to prepare: Here’s the recipe!

7. Oat Groats

These whole grains make the perfect breakfast cereal after you’ve had your GGS. They are high in fibers, low in calories, and contain calcium and iron.

How to prepare: Buy whole oat groats and soak them overnight. Blend them in a food processor with a little avocado, stevia, and water, as well as a pinch of Himalayan sea salt and eat as cereal. You can find them in the health store, usually in the bins or the cereal section. If you can’t find them, get the next best thing, which is steel-cut oats.

8. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil used to get a bad rap, but studies have shown that it is one of the healthiest oils, especially for cooking. It’s high in lauric acid, which enhances immunity.

How to prepare: When you cook, try cooking with small amounts of coconut oil.

9. Apple Cider Vinegar

Raw, unpasteurized, unfiltered apple cider vinegar promotes digestion and is high in potassium, which promotes regularity and cellular cleansing. It is also a great digestive tract cleanser.

How to prepare: Try using it in your salad dressings instead of balsamic or other vinegars.

10. Acai

These berries contain omega-3 fats, protein, minerals, fiber, and vitamins. They are also extremely high in antioxidants and taste delicious!

How to prepare: Blend frozen berries with unsweetened almond milk, cacao, avocado, and stevia for a nutritious smoothie.

11. Almond milk

Ditch the dairy and instead use almond milk, which is a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and beneficial fats.

How to prepare: Purchase organic, unsweetened almond milk from the health food store or make your own!

12. Stevia

Stevia is an herb that also serves as a natural sweetener. It doesn’t raise blood sugar, and has been shown to prevent tooth decay and actually stabilize blood glucose.

How to prepare: I like NuNaturals Stevia, which has a clean, sweet taste for smoothies and other desserts.

summer-in-june requested a workout for the butt! So here’s an easy one that you can add dumbbells to to make harder. Feel free to repeat the whole workout 2-3 times through to really work!

fitvillains:

Fresh off the heels of 1000 pushups, we’re switching things up and doing a blast of lower body work! This challenge will strengthen your glutes, hamstrings & thighs while torching a ton of calories (and giving your arms a break from last week).

1000 lunges. U game?

There’s a lot of room to play within this challenge! You can choose from a huge selection of lunge variations, mixing & matching them along the way. Advanced exercisers can choose more difficult modifications and add dumbbells. Beginners can use basic lunge modifications and should focus on form before adding weight.

Note: review proper form before beginning & listen to your body! If you have problems in the knee area, try your best, but stop if you have any pain. Reduce your range of motion & stick to body weight at any time.

Proper Lunge Form

Although there are distinct differences in the many lunge variations below, there are a few key form techniques that they share. If you’re not used to doing lunges (or doing this many), it’s important to make sure your form is on point: it’ll reduce your risk of injury & protect your knees. Since this is high volume, you can opt for body weight only OR add resistance as you see fit (ideally, you can mix it up with several variations).
