The Live Green Smoothie Diet

(Click here if you want to find out more about the “Jack Up The Raw” 6-Week Coaching Program!)

When we get on the phone together for our first “Jack Up The Raw” coaching session, there’s a lot of ground we need to cover in just 45 minutes!

p

The First 15 Minutes

In the first 15 minutes, we’ll go through the items in the following questionnaire, to get some quick and very helpful insight into:

• Why you’re doing the program
• What you hope to achieve
• And what the realities of your life are like so we can best adapt the principles of the program to work for YOU.

Take a few minutes to read through the questions and perhaps make some notes on some of the points you’d especially like to highlight with me. That way we’ll be able to really make the best of the time we have available to us, so that I can get to know you as quickly as possible. 

I’ve included an area for notes in each section, so you can just print out this page and keep it for your records, if you like. I will be taking my own notes, and keeping a folder of our work together throughout the six-week program.

p

The Second 15 Minutes

The next 15 minutes of our call, I’ll go over the simple principles we’ll be working with to keep your approach as simple and “user-friendly” as possible.

I call these principles “The Four LGS Pillars of Jacking Up The Raw“, and you can read about them here.

p

The Last 15 Minutes

And the last part of our phone consultation will be all about the practicalities of making the LGS Pillars work for you, in in the unique way that works best for your life.

One of these strategies is to become aware of how to add as many “Rawish” meals to your day when a full-out “raw” meal isn’t practical, convenient, or… just something you’re going to be able to do without feeling like you’ll go crazy for the comfort and “grounding” of something cooked.

Learning how to “jack up the raw” with Rawish meals is an extremely valuable approach that anybody can use to start increasing the amount of living, high-water-content foods in their diet, without necessarily going to the extreme level that many raw food enthusiasts aim for.

You can read more about “Living A Rawish Life” here. (This is coming out later today – I’ll add the link when it’s up.)

Happy reading!

I can’t wait to talk with you one-on-one on our first call! This is SO exciting. It just rocks my world to know we’re gonna rawk yours, together.
