Summary: An inspirational work for raw fooders
Review:

This is a wonderful book and is very well written. It has encouraged me to use much more raw food in my family's diet. We have been vegan for 12 years and are now making the transition to a totally raw lifestyle. It is very difficult for me especially with children, but they are doing well. The beauty recipes are effective and unique. Thank you for sharing your story.

Summary: The most inspiring book I have ever read!
Review: Actually I was reading this book with a pen and paper in my hand making notes and after I finished the book I had a long list of things which I already started incorporating into my life and I can already see positive changes in my appearance!!! Tonya's advice is invaluable; her recommendations are sound and effective; unlike many others she doesn't offer any temporary superficial quick fixes that don't last, the solution that she offers gives permanent results bacause she found the cause! I am sure you will start seeing results in less than a week if you follow Tonya's advice; you will be amazed at the transformation you'll have gone through if you do what she recommends - your face will look so much younger as if you got a face-lift, you will become your natural weight and fat and inches will disappear in all the right places, and you will also feel 20 years younger, full of energy with no aches, pains or tiredness. It will be a total body, mind and soul makeover; you owe it to yourself to read this book!!!

Summary: Raw "Beauty"!
Review: Funny how some of the reviews knock this book saying it is just a "book about
beauty and being raw". Did they read the title of the book? "Your right to be beautiful" It is all about how what you eat effects your outward appearance! Duh!
Women, read it! Have your daughters read it too! And after you go raw read it again and again to remember why you are going against the flow of typical American eating. The insides get beautiful causing the outsides to be the same... Beautiful! I love this "RAW" stuff! It really works!

Summary: Help for menopose
Review: I admire this book very much because it makes me understand a lot of things that though I had knowledge of before but I could not applie for myself. I did not see all the facts together, I did not see correctly what the different kind of foods and chemicals do to ones body.
The book came to me at the time of my li9fe when I was struggling with the menopose and it gave me the graetest help regarding the symptoms of the menopose at last.
I started the rawfood diet as soon as I finished reading the book at first. I always read it just to keep and know its guidelines.
It is a wonderful help that it instructs you how to get started.
It also encourages you to be slow in absorbing the whole diet. It tells you how much 'Body knows best', so teaches you listen to your own feelings and adjust it to your own body requirements.
I loved in it that it had an immediate effect on me, following its suggestions.
Everything that it said so far turned out to be true in my case. I love that the book is very thorough, very well thought out of and takes time to explain everything accurately.
A very important feature of the book that it wants us to realise that health itself is beauty. To live healthily is the best aid for being beautyful.
I love its humour, its common sense approaches, and all the explanations what the rawfood diet does to different organs in our body.
Prior to this book I was a follower of the book of Dr. Ulrich Strunz, who tells one about so many important vitamins and minerals to use but does not tell how to use it, how to start it, and I felt I got lost in the many suggestions he gave though his was the best help before Ms Zavasta's book.
This book helped me to turn myself around.
I am on the diet for 6 months now and I am doing still only 75% because I still eat some cheese and soups, but giving up bread, milk and meat gave me a light complection, my joints are painfree and my back and my feet stopped ackinglately as well.
This is an incredible idea, and by Ms Zavasta's book believable, because she had some terribel ordeal in her life I feel I will be well again by her suggestions and then I will be wanting to be the most butyful of myself at my age (60)as well. In practice I see day by day the beneficial effect of the diet, I am feeling better and getting back to my original shape and I am not dieting now but decided to live gy its guidelines.
I hope the recipe book will follow soon and I will be able to buy it through Amazon.com
This book should be translated into German, because many people would benefit from it here as well.

Summary: Not prepared for the heavy Christian angle
Review: I am amazed at all the 5 star reviews. I have read up to page 60 and so far, no raw food advice...but QUITE a bit about how the scientific "evidence for evolution is seriously flawed" (that's a quote, p. 41.) There's actually several pages devoted to trying to convice the reader about the truth of the creation theory (I was really not expecting that in a beauty book!!!) There are also a lot of strange platitudes sprinkled throughout the book, such as "An average-looking woman rarely ventures to win away a man from a more attractive competitor." (p. 48) Not only is that far from a universal truth, but it's hard not to conclude that all her talk of godly beauty is really just an attempt to snag a man, or get a leg up on the "competition"--in this case, other women(!!) It's all very odd, especially considering that I got this book to learn her "raw food" eating plan for getting beautiful--that is, after all, supposed to be the point of the book. I did flip through the rest of the book to make sure there would be something useful, and quite randomly came across: Chapter 23, "The Mermaids Beauty Secret", where she explains that "seaweed is a staple of the mermaids' traditional diet" (p. 242) and that "mermaids' long and lusterous hair contributes greatly to the beauty known to have lured men to the bottom of the sea" (p. 241) Therefore, eating seaweed gives you beautiful hair. That is her chapter on hair! She calmly presents information on mermaids' lifestyles as if it's verifiably factual. (As well, she once again presents 'getting a man' as the purpose of beauty.) This is the tone of the whole book...I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but it's definately not very scientific. Speaking of which, she several times mentions her "advanced degrees" in...Something Scientfic (it's never made very clear), but the "author blurb" on the back cover only mentions her work as a "motivational speaker and STANDUP COMEDIENNE"!!! (This made me wonder about her credentials, and I discovered that nowhere, not even on her official website [beautifulonraw.com] does it mention where or when she was educated. It's not that I think *education* itself is necessarily the pinnacle, but if a person is flouting advanced science degrees it should be verifiable.) So, be prepared. Obviously, there are at least 22 reviewers here that gave this 5 stars, so the writing style is working for somebody, but I wish I had known then what I know now about this book. If you're really just looking for a good raw food book, try Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine. It's my favorite so far: straightforward; the guy is a doctor and knows his stuff. It's really good for the how and why of raw food diets.
