Book Reviews of Living on Live Food
Book Review: High Quality and Great Value for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. In fact, I have two copies. The book has a genuine, cozy feel to is -- like it is written just for you. I only wish that there were more of the beautiful, color pictures.
Money is not wasted on this item -- nor on the CDs.
I love the fact that Alissa has used her passion to improve the lives of others. When you see all of the fad diets and garbage that is out there and read her book / philosphy -- she is not trying to make money off of people by offering quick fixes...
Alissa's book is about empowering yourself to live your best life. She inspires personal accountability -- using the basics. Sure -- there are a lot of fancy extras that you could buy (and that I personally find cool) -- but, as she says time and time again in her book, you don't need go out and spend lots of money to live this life -- she enourages the "less is more" attitude...She wants you to be happy -- in all areas of your life...
I mean --- come on -- it's "raw food". How complicated is that?
Her website (which is CHOCK full of great info from recipes to personal affirmations) is free and ROCKS! My next trip to Boston can't come soon enough to check out she and Dennis's new restaurant -- Grezzo!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a keeper. I read the book in one night and have been using it daily. I have tried a few recipes, and was not disappointed. The week before receiving the book, I had already decided to eliminated white starches and red meats. Upon recieving the book, I am now basically raw. I am not too hungry, and when I am I eat. I have not had any cravings. And I am alert this week. My first week, I was a little quesy, small headaches, but nothing alarming. I did lose 8 pounds the first week. My skin is no longer itchy. I suffer from multiple conditions, which seem to be ebbing away. I am such a happy camper today.
I am so excited to share this with you. I am not an expert at nutrition, but I know half the battle is to get the right foods into your system. Internally if you work right, all will be well with you.
Thank you Alissa. I hope you write some more books!

Book Review: I really do like this book
Summary: 4 Stars
I really do like this book. I have made a few of the recipes and they taste really good. The recipes are easy to follow and have worked out when I have made them. You don't need to buy too many expensive items from the health food shop.
A few things that I can see wrong with this book are there are not enough pics of the food, only a few in the middle of the book. I am a visual person and photos help when I make anything.
Personally I would have prefered this book to not have the stuff in the front of someone elses diet for so many months and the before and afters.
The sprouting guide and dehydrator stuff is great. Picks of what the sprouts should look like would have been great also because as I am new to raw food I am not sure if they are meant to be like small plants or just as they start sprouting.
Overall I have liked what I have made and will make more.
