Just a few more days to take advantage of my

“Jack Up The Raw Coaching” for just $99!

You can sign up here right now.

Pretty young woman with arms raised

Because several people have expressed interest in my coaching this week, and I’d love for them to get the same value I’ve been offering since last fall, I decided to extend my $99 Jack Up The Raw Coaching offer one more week, through this Thursday.

Starting this Friday, February 26, my 6-week, one-on-one, personal, individualized coaching program will increase to $150…so sign up now to take advantage of this extreme savings!

At just $99, my 6-week Jack Up The Raw Coaching program, it’s my opinion that this offer is a complete and utter no-brainer for anyone who wants some completely personalized attention to help sort out the right approach to increase the use of raw and living foods in a way that works for *you*.

What do you get for that $99?

  • Access to all my LGS Daily Recipes for the duration of the program, which officially lasts 6 weeks, but in practice may take longer.
  • An initial 1-hr intake phone consult (originally intended for 45 minutes, but it usually goes over an hour in order to address each client’s initial concerns).
  • A follow-up 30-45 minute phone session the following week or so (as can be mutually scheduled).
  • Four subsequent 15-20 follow-up phone chats, roughly a week or so apart.
  • And unlimited email support during that time.

What do I provide during that time?

  • A simple framework of guiding principles for increasing the raw and living foods in your diet in a way that’s practical and enjoyable.
  • Some suggested tools and recipe ideas, and an explanation of how to use them, and in a way that’s unique for *you*. Aside from a basic structure of principles that form the basis of my Jack Up The Raw approach to living food, this is all about what *you* need and what *you* want.
  • My help and research assistance in puzzling out any unique personal health & diet challenges you may have. For example, I have clients with stubborn weight loss challenges, and some with serious health concerns that medical practitioners in both traditional and alternative fields have been unable to resolve. I offer my assistance in researching different approaches or the use of specific foods and herbs to help turn these conditions around.

I am not a nutritionist or a medical profession, but I am a good sleuth and a natural intuitive who may be able to help you uncover some information or possibilities you have not yet identified. You, however, are at the helm of your own choices, always, whether you make them on your own or bring them back to your medical professionals for advisement. I’m just a short-term companion on your journey… a helper who’s delighted to be of service, however I can.

So, if you’ve been eyeing this program… now’s the time to give it a go, because the cost is about to go up 50%.

Even at $150, it will be a great value.

But while it’s still at $99…? Total no-brainer!

:D

In clarifying my plans and intentions for this year and beyond, I’ve decided that I will be committing to the continuation of my LGS Daily Recipe online magazine only through January 8, 2011, and will then take my creative focus with respect to raw and living foods into a new direction.

What Lies Ahead:

During the remaining winter months, I’ll continue to focus on generating more warming dishes… Warm Live Soups, Warm “Pasta” dishes, and other dishes that are comforting, grounding, and give a sense of heat and comfort.

Also, likely as spring rolls around, I’ll be getting my dehydrator out of storage and will start pioneering raw, living, dehydrated, sprouted flatbreads, chips, cookies, and such… without flax seed. For whatever reason, I just abhor the taste of flax seed, which has basically eliminated my ability to easily incorporate crunchy and “bready” dehydrated goodies into my lifestyle. And without that option, I know I will never be able to remain 100% raw for any significant length of time. I’m very excited to explore all ways of making utterly delicious raw, living “bread substitutes” this year! I think there will be many who will appreciate those recipes, as well…

Also, although I’ve stayed away from the “blended cashew cheezecake”-type recipes, I *will* be introducing all sorts of dairy-substitute recipes as the year goes on. And I will also be adding more in the way of desserts, cookies, frozen treats… and of course raw chocolate and creamy vanilla specialities.

370 more recipes… It’s a journey I’m excited to take with you.

What’s So Unique About My Recipes…

When I first began exploring the raw & living foods lifestyle, nearly 5 years ago, I bought a bevy of raw food cookbooks and dug passionately into learning how to feed myself within this new and sometimes wonderfully strange food culture. But what I quickly found — and have consistently found ever since — is that, if I wanted to eat something besides whole fruit, a green salad, or a Live Green Smoothie… there wasn’t much in the way of truly useable recipes, at least for my tastes.

The predominance of recipes I encountered (and still come across…) are along the lines of “soak for 2 days, sprout for 3, dehydrate for 2 more…”. Or they’re heavy on cashews and other whipped nuts, trying to fake out non-raw-vegan taste buds to approximate various dairy dishes (that’s nice, but I can’t live on that). Or they’re desserts, desserts, desserts…

I appreciate all of these things, absolutely. But the bottom line is, when it’s 8:00 pm and I’m hungry, I want to know what I can do right now to feed myself.. not in 3-7 days. And I want to know how to feed myself truly flavorful, satisfying, savory, wonderful dishes using a rich array of produce and other various bits & pieces of superfoods and staples in my kitchen. I want variety. I want options. I want to understand how to make an assortment of dishes and feasts using whatever I have on hand, a la the “cuisine bonne femme” that a French homemaker uses when she enters her kitchen to spontaneously prepare everyday feasts for her family, using whatever was fresh that day at the market… or whatever remains in her cupboard when the pickings are slim!

I want foods that aren’t necessarily whipped and mushed in my blender and food processor — I want foods I can eat with a fork, for crying out loud. And I don’t need desserts upon desserts upon desserts.

So, I set about contributing my own creativity to this tremendously interesting endeavor of pioneering a new food culture around raw and living foods! These are real recipes for real people, for people with meat-eating taste buds… mainstreamers… not just for those with more esoteric “raw” or rarified vegan sensibilities!

“Why do you charge for your recipes? You have so much competition, you know…”

I’ve received so much support for my work, and have been tremendously grateful for it! To create, photograph, and publish one new, original recipe every single day isn’t something you can pull together as an after-thought in 15 minutes. Every recipe generally takes at least one hour to produce & publish… and 2-3 hours for the whole effort has not been uncommon. Because it takes a lot of time, it is always heart-warming to receive feedback from those who appreciate the effort and enjoy the recipes.

I have, also, consistently heard comments and questions such as “Why should I have to pay $5 to see your recipes? The Internet is full of raw recipes… You have a lot of competition, you know!” So I thought I’d take the time to address that question directly.

Over centuries, our cooked-food culture has generated an untold number of cookbooks, magazines, chefs, and cooking shows… and still new ones pop up everyday. If you’re really into the alchemical magic of food and the joy of cooking, you don’t complain about the cost of a new book or magazine… you peruse the pages and gleen inspiration whilst salivating over every page. There’s still always the prospect of a new recipe you never thought of, or a combination of ingredients that you never heard of.

So when I hear people imply that this relatively new culture of raw foods has somehow already been glutted with creativity, I simply cannot wrap my mind around it. To those people, I have to ask: do you walk into Barnes & Noble and lament that books should now all be free because all the creativity in the world has finally been exhausted? Or are you excited to find a new creative voice that might enhance your day in some small (or not-so-small) way?

Seems to me that just a few bucks a month is a pittance to support a creative venture you value. If you don’t value it… just move on, but honestly… quit your bellyachin’. There, I’ve said it.

***

These Recipes Aren’t Just For You… They’re For Me, Too!

Through my LGS Daily Recipe venture, I’m creating the foods I desire to feed myself and my own family, as well as for others. I’m seeking to compile a library of highly-useable-in-the-home-every-day recipes which I wish already existed… a piece of new food culture that adds to the options that will enrich my own life for the rest of my days. And hopefully along the way, I’m revealing some new ways to prepare food to those who are following along with me.

Hope you’ll stick around and take this journey with me!

:D

To my readers, am giving you a heads-up that you will see a lot of activity on my site this week, as I am restructuring the way the site is set up.

Currently, I have multiple blogs installed on my one website: This LGS site, my “This Raw Life” blog, and my “Longevity and Peak Performance” blog, which I have plans to expand significantly this year. All of these websites are currently accessible via the portal of my Live Green Smoothie website, but they do not possess a unified search and categorization ability.

With the new year has come the intention to consolidate and intensify my creative and professional activities, so I’m starting with bringing all of my posts and articles from my other sites into the LGS site, and dismantling the handling of my blogs as separate entitities.

I will also be revising the Categories on my LGS site to enable the increase scope of articles to be easier to find, and I will be creating a new Home page to drive visitors to the parts of my site which they will find most personally useful.

The Addition of a Personal Development Topic and Category

As those closest to me know, I have been a passionate student and practitioner of “personal development” methods since around 4th grade; in truth, the quest for an understanding of how to use consciousness to heal, revitalize, evolve, and manifest has been the primary gist of my entire life, with the use of increasingly healthifying food being just one element of that overall quest.

I’ve read literally thousands of books on spirituality, consciousness, metaphysics, personal empowerment, manifestation, alternative healing, yoga, energy systems, responsible relationships, and optimal health. But more than that, I have always sought to move away as quickly as possible from theory and to apply these principles to change my life. When I’ve found a principle that persuaded me it had power, I have repeatedly leapt without a parachute in order to discover the truth of it in my life in the way that counts… real change.

I’ve used these principles to overcome profound sorrow and despair, abiding depression, the character defects of lying and theft, and a paralyzing, economically debilitating lack of self-worth. I’ve used them to heal from acute and chronic eating disorders, and to overcome chronic, painful, physically debilitating Lyme disease without the use of antibiotics. I also learned how to find peace in many dramas that entered my life which on the surface appeared to be insanely “unjust” or tragic (I’ve often likened those journeys to “Erin Brokovich On Steroids”… heh).

And as the darkness and struggle in my life over the years dissolved, I began to use these very same principles to create tremendous joy and creative vitality, no matter what the surface dynamics occurring in the events of my life. I used the principles of manifestation to create circumstances that went completely against the odds, including a successful, prosperous, technically oriented consulting career in the corporate world despite having no college degree.

I have an insanely joyful home life, and I live a frequency of joy and enthusiasm that I could only dream of earlier in my life. I have found that one can apply the principles of consciousness and deliberate creation to one’s life with results, and that if you do so courageously… amazing things can happen.

There is no topic more beloved to me than how to use the power of consciousness to purposefully create the lives we wish to experience.

I also realize that, when someone, anyone, embarks on a quest to “jack up the raw” and living foods in their diet, even if just to start adding a few Live Green Smoothies to their diet, that is a conscious act of personal development — that’s a statement of “I want more out of life… I want more out of my energy… I want more aliveness and fulfillment, and I think that eating these foods will help me!” And indeed they will.

And so, I’ve decided to “come out of the closet”, so-to-speak, with respect to my knowledge and continued passion for personal development, and will begin blogging about it through this site.

For those of you who found my LGS site with smoothies in mind… while you sip your latest LGS, starting this year you will also be able to peruse a host of posts and articles on how to use your increasingly enlivened body and mind to make practical changes in your life so it can be all that you wish it to be.

New LGS Site Enhancements

Posted by: Angela Leeds In: *Site News

Don’t forget to check out Angela’s “LGS Daily Recipe” online recipe magazine & the new “Jack Up The Raw” 6-week coaching program!

p

Fluid Linking Between All the LGS Sites

The LGS web site is actually comprised of three separate blogs that are all interconnected:

Links between these sites, as well as to the LGS Raw Foods Superstore, display on all the blogs across the very top of every page.

Up until now, there was an intermediate page when clicking on menu options to travel between the different site. Now, all of that has been streamlined, so one click gets you directly where you want to go! Yay!

p

A New Paypal Donations Option


Several very enthusiastic readers have generously requested the ability to make donations in support of the site.  So, for the convenience of those inclined to contribute support in that way, I’ve installed a Paypal “Donate” button, which now displays in the far-right column of every page.

It means the world to me to receive your support and appreciation. In advance…thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. :D

Am happy to announce a re-organization of site content using streamlined Categories and better use of Tags, so that visitors can more easily find content that interests them. 

The Tags feature (in the middle-column sidebar, you click on “Tags” and it will show you those options) will allow browsing recipes and other posts by ingredients and other subject content.

And recipes have been categorized more simply (Categories are in the far-right sidebar). I’ve gone through all posts to the site to make sure they’ve been updated with the new categories & tags.

Hope these changes help you enjoy the Live Green Smoothie Diet site even more! :D
