Reminders
After four days of basking in temperate weather, sitting on Chloe’s porch, and doing a whole lot of nothing, I’m back in the daily grind. I’ll be checking in tomorrow with a little recap of my travels, but in the meantime, two little reminders:
1) Tomorrow evening at 7 PM, I’ll be speaking at Axis NYC with Gil Jacobs and Cassie Karopkin. Topics covered will include raw nutrition and detoxification. If you’d like to come, shoot me an email at gena@choosingraw.com. Admission will be $10 at the door, and the address is 528 East 5th St., Apt. 1B, between Avenues A and B.
2) Tomorrow is Raw Wednesday #2 of Vegan Mofo! If you didn’t participate last week, now’s your chance to whip out your chef’s knife and get to work on a raw meal. Have fun, and fill me in on your creations tomorrow!

Testimonials
–Lyn D., MarylandBefore I started working with Gena, I wasn’t sure whether it would be worth it, since I knew what I “should” be doing. Her counseling, however, turned out to be a key factor in my success.
Not only does she have great advice when I am struggling, but her realistic approach helped me make major changes despite having no time and limited funds. Her recipes and ideas are for real people with lives beyond their diets, and they are great. Gena is down to earth and non-judgmental. She strikes a great balance between encouraging me to go a little father but to keep things in perspective and have fun with the process.

FAQ
So where do you get your protein?Ah, the million dollar question. I know that my fellow raw foodists are uttering a collective sigh of frustration with me. But it’s inevitable, so here goes:
I get my protein from a wide array of vegetables, sea vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes. The notion that we need to supplement our diet with large amounts of protein, especially in the form of animal products, is mistaken: our bodies are capable of assembling amino acids from all of the foods we eat and building the “complete proteins” that we’ve all been told we need to get in a single sitting.

Recommendations
Juicer (average $50.00 - $500.00)If you’re like me, and juicing is a crucial part of your lifestyle, then the cost of a juicer will absolutely be worth it! It will buy itself back again and again and again. The juicer I recommend is the Breville Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus. It’s the only juicer I’ve ever owned, and it has never let me down. I recommend you invest in a juicer that has at least this level of performance in order to juice leafy greens.
Some of you have asked me whether it’s wiser to buy a juicer or a Vitamix.
