Thanks so much, Tonya! Keep up the great work. You have inspired me, and as a consequence, my patients here in Germany in many ways!!! –B

Tonya,
I have been on the very minimal eating you talk about for years…I know the joy of not eating! But I rarely have eaten breakfast and eat most food at night. Your book makes perfect sense and now I know why I gain and hold weight even on minimal raw foods. I am going to change to the quantum eating time schedule. Your book is the best raw food book I have ever read. Definitely not for beginners though. Have you heard of biological transmutation? Must work better on raw foods, and better yet on Quantum Eating. Thanks much for this book, now on page 171. –A.

Greetings Tonya, you truly are magnificent!! Your tenacity and perseverance in the face of daunting adversity, has been well served by your courage, intelligence and compassion. Your books and media presentations are thrillingly exciting, inspiring, instructive and thought provoking…all hallmarks of a master teacher. I have added you to my shelf of ‘most favourite friends’, many of whom you have often quoted and also count among your own special guides and advisers.

…
Tonya…..you are like a ‘ Master Lighthouse ‘ and everywhere you go you will be blessed. I am sooooo proud of you……both as a beautiful woman and as a ‘human force of nature’.
May you have great joy and laughter in all your days. In love and appreciation. –S.

Hi Kelli and Tonya, I am continuing with this amazing program and at age 51 tomorrow people are telling me I am turning back the clock. In addition to the brushing, face exercises, eating raw I have been massaging the chin, cheeks and crows feet/temple areas that Tonya speaks about in her books. Tonya also mentions ironing out wrinkles with spoons. I was wondering if Tonya can demonstrate these techniques on a YouTube video. I am not sure if i am doing it correctly. With thanks. –M.T.

Right now I am eating an organic salad with zucchini, scallions, tomatoes, Goji berries (soaked), almonds, and Dandelion greens. I topped it with a little organic honey mustard. YUM…I can never go backkkk!!! NEVER! I feel so good and already…people have noticed a change in me. :))) THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST WAY TO EAT AND LIVE…thanks to you!!

Kisses…and have a great week…If you stop by my page you will see a picture of the road I walk on …(where I live in New Jersey) I walk 4 and half miles 2-3 times a week and I go to the gym 4 days a week.

Bye now. –M.V.

Hi Tonya,

I have been following the protocol of products and exercises and I am amazed that I am seeing a difference after only after a few weeks. I love the face cream and have just started the clay [masque]. The lines around my mouth closest to my chin are all but gone and my eye area looks smoother too. My cheekbones are standing out more! Wow! Exercise 1 really works fast! My smile lines are really deep (barely any frown lines:)) so I am expecting improvement in this area soon. I have a question about the exercise for day 5. I need more of an explanation of how I am to do this one. Am I supposed to feel a suction cup effect while doing it? Am I pressing in and out or making a rotating motion. Thanks for sharing your secrets. I got your Grand Special package and am devouring your books. Have a blessed day! –T

I love your cream. I won’t put anything else on my skin. –S.L.

If You Must Gain Weight

Tonya Zavasta — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 06:58:58 +0000

It’s very common for me to hear from people who have lost too much weight on the raw food diet and cannot gain it back. Desperate emails reach me, begging for help to put on a few pounds.

Tonya Zavasta — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 22:10:06 +0000

Loss of muscle is the most pitiful of all the signs of aging. A condition affecting many people as they age is sarcopenia—essentially a slow deterioration and loss of muscle tissue. Sarcopenia affects close to half the population! (more…)

Your Body is a Miracle of Adaptability

Tonya Zavasta — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:36:53 +0000

Those of us who’ve gone 100 percent raw eventually start to look at others in disbelief: How can these people, we wonder, consume steak, pizza and ice cream, and still live? We know we’d be miserable if we partook of even a morsel of those foods. The same thing will eventually happen with the amount of food you eat. (more…)

Dear Tonya,
I work at the Wellness Education Center with Jeanette Cheney and attended your Lecture on July 29, 2010. I really enjoyed your presentation and bought your first two books and your Rawsome Flex, and just so you know – I am one of the ‘one in a hundred’ and am not reading ahead. I am on day 1. I also just started a 7 day juice fast today and have started using your (more…)

Waterful Raw Food Diet

Tonya Zavasta — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 16:46:15 +0000

The food we eat on the raw food diet has been appropriately called by many different names: living food, sunfood, plant-based nutrition, raw vegan, and similar terms. Recently, one reader commented on how much she enjoyed the ‘waterful’ raw diet. What a delightful and refreshing image it brings to mind! It makes it an excellent synonym for “whole.”
Find a definition for whole food. It should state that the water is intact. (more…)

Cooked Food Addiction: How to Overcome It?

Tonya Zavasta — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:28:17 +0000

The fact is, almost all of us, are addicted to something. If nothing else, most of us are addicted to cooked food. So pervasive is the pattern that few even think of this as an addiction at all. (more…)

Botox Alternatives

Tonya Zavasta — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 01:06:56 +0000

It’s funny though not surprising anymore…those of us who use the raw food regime and internal cleansing often are branded “extreme.” Yet asking to be injected with bovine toxin is “normal.” There are even Botox parties, as innocent, we’re to suppose, as Tupperware parties. And there are, now, Botox addicts. (more…)

Dear Tonya,
This afternoon I walked into the Hall Center in Santa Monica just out of curiosity and discovered your book Your Right to Be Beautiful.

Wow, what an amazing day it has been, I am so grateful for this discovery. Thank you so much for your incredible books and your work. Can’t wait to try my cream. –N.W. (more…)
