This group is for people who wish to use raw VEGAN foods to not only improve specific health conditions, but who would also like to lose pounds and inches. Short group fasts (either juice or water, 1-3 days)are encouraged, but we will focus especially on those specific foods and eating plans that promote the loss of body fat and increase well-being. We are NOT promoting unhealthy thinness, but we are a group who wishes to release ourselves from the obsessions of food, and the frequent junk food binges many of us experience. Some of us are very overweight, some of us have only a few pounds to lose, some of us are overcoming disordered eating patterns. What we all have in common in the burning desire to be FREE of obsessions with unhealthy foods and immerse ourselves in a healthy lifestyle of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, exercise, fresh air, and a deep, soul-satisfying happiness.
