Book: Beautiful on Raw UnCooked Creations

Beauty Is as Beauty Eats ...

In her eye-opening first book, Your Right to Be Beautiful, author Tonya Zavasta shared the natural way she helped herself become noticeably more attractive. How? With the raw food lifestyle.

Now with her new book, Beautiful on Raw, Tonya responds to the two questions most often raised by her enthusiastic readers: "Can you tell us about other women who achieved the same remarkable results? and "Where can we find recipes to help us make this transition?

In Beautiful On Raw, you will read about the experiences of Tonya and 10 other women, ages 35 to 65. The stories of their astonishing results with the raw food diet will inspire you and help you see that you can do it too!

Hate cooking? I do too. What if I promise you that you do not have to cook ever again?

It is a well-known fact that the less food has been processed, the more sound it is nutritionally. So why process at all? Why not trust the Creator of human life with food as well? Why not recognize the laws of nature instead of looking for a way to go against them? To process food is an arrogant notion - we seem to be saying that God's menu needs improvement.

Human beings cannot create life and yet we assume that we can manufacture better foodstuffs. The only food fit for human beings is raw plant food from God's table such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. But we replace this ample and nutritious diet with the cook's concoctions.

By cooking our food we are killing nutrients that keep us alive and healthy. Cooking removes the goodness of food. Fresh fruits and vegetables have a life force that is carried by enzymes, the biochemical catalysts that constitute the difference between life and death.

Nature's plan calls for food to deliver its own enzymes to assist the body with its digestion. But enzymes are killed when temperature rises above approximately 118° Fahrenheit. Cooked food depletes the body's own enzyme reserve and curtails its rejuvenating power that has to keep you healthy, youthful and beautiful.

Tonya Zavasta overcame many obstacles to achieve her radiant health and beauty. With practical simplicity, she shares her story, showing how the principles of the raw food lifestyle can help you stimulate and sustain your body's rejuvenating ability, which will significantly improve your health and help you become truly beautiful.

But Beautiful on Raw contains more than just Tonya's experiences-it includes extensive interviews with other women who have achieved the same astonishing results. Their stories will inspire you with the confidence to realize that you can do it too!

"Better than Chocolate" Mousse

Nourishing and lavish with nutrients this is a healthy substitute for chocolate lovers. This is a delicious, quick and easy recipe for a luscious, silky carob shake fortified with raw-food goodness. Coconut, bananas and tahini make it a high protein, high fiber and high energy shake that will keep you satisfied for hours. Kids love it and will never know they are getting a dessert packed with potassium from the bananas as well as other health and energy building ingredients.

Heavenly Healthy Halva

This is a Middle-East originated sweet. First created as a royal dessert. It is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, Turkish dessert going back over a 1000 years. The word halvah means literally 'sweetmeat'. The halva is made with sesame seeds. The tantalizing tahini (ground sesame seeds) is rich in calcium, zinc, iron, phosphorous, protein, niacin and lecithin and many B complex vitamins. The final result is a beautiful blend of tahini, coconut oil, and raw honey, decorated with swirls of carob sprinkled with walnut, it melts in your mouth. Halva provides protein as well as vitamins and minerals, which for those with young children makes it a healthy choice for an after-school snack that is still sweet and rewarding.

Fabulous Fruitcake

Just Omega-3 rich flax seeds, cancer fighting filberts, sun-ripened raisins, delicious pineapples, mangoes, blueberries, and tangy lemon peel blended into rich, nutritious, nutty fruit cake that is full of fruit flavor. It combines old fashioned goodness, traditional festive appeal with a holiday spirit. For optimal satisfaction, chunks of fruits and whole nuts are used. It is finished off with a carob glaze and decorated with fruits and nuts.

Apple Ambrosia Pie

Fresh apples and pears are combined with fluffy macadamia cheese for a unique experience. A sumptuous apple-pie is the quintessential autumn dessert. Apples are abundant and rightfully begin to dominate the market. In contrast to traditional apple pie which bakes into a squishy, mushy, shriveled mass requiring a load of sugar before it can be eaten, this pie is crispy and the luscious scent of green apples is heaven on earth! The presence of original fruit colors and flavors guarantees that the nutritional value has not been destroyed. It is topped off with crushed walnuts, lemon rind and cinnamon. No sugar, no flour and no butter! Only the wholesome goodness! Your perception of apple pie will be changed forever. Perhaps best of all, this apple pie is very easy to make.
