    what a difference four little years make + raw food comes to alternatives !!!!!

    Only four years ago, when I first moved to London, the words 'raw' and 'food' put together would do one of three things when mentioned to Brits:

    1. Confuse/irritate,
    2. Make you feel like an expert, because you've had sushi, then once explained that neither fish nor rice are on the menu.. confuse/irritate,
    3. Make you proud for having a fruit salad that morning, then guilty for realising that is was coated in dairy yoghurt, sprinkled with processed sugar and flushed down with a milky coffee, and then... confuse/irritate.

    What a difference four little years make.

    Your enthusiasm for raw food these days blows my mind.
    Your demand for organic produce is helping bring down prices.
    Your realisation for the importance of cleansing is making the planet lighter and you healthier.
    Your new wellness fuelled attitude -after seeing what raw foods can do to your entire life- is making you and everyone around you happier.
    Your hunger for health, means there are now over 12 raw vegan restaurants around London and hundreds which offer raw meals on their menu.
    Your thirst for energy, means there are now hundreds of juice bars too.
    Your sparked curiosity to learn more, means I can no longer count the number of raw food teachers here with my two hands.

    And now for the very first time...

    Alternatives in London will have a presenter tell their story of a raw food journey, for the first time since they began hosting talks for the world leaders in spirituality and personal growth, all the way back in 1982.

    I can't even put into words how honoured and blessed I feel to tell you, that the presenter is me.




    Even if you are new to the world of conscious living, it is highly likely that you've heard of at least one of these names before:

    Marianne Williamson, Tim Ferriss, Brandon Bays, Dr. Michael Beckwith, Byron Katie, Dr. John Demartini, Joseph McClendon III, Julia Cameron, Gabrielle Bernstein and Deepak Chopra.

    The Alternatives have hosted all these unbelievable speakers and so many more. Can you tell just how privileged I feel right now?

    It is time for our diets to take centre stage, so please join me tomorrow 7PM-9PM Thursday 18th July at Swiss Church, 79 Endell St, WC2H 9DY, London. Book your spot>>

    I can't wait to meet you!

    P.S. If you can't make it tomorrow, I will be interviewed on Radio Verulam at 8:15PM tonight. West Herts peeps- tune in to 92.6FM or listen in LIVE online, here: http://www.radioverulam.com

    ebook bundle deal from tanya alekseeva



    Hi gorgeous!

    Don't you wish that no matter the weather, the occasion, the ailment or the craving- you had a raw food recipe for it? 

    Wouldn't it be super if you owned a collection of warming recipes for when it's cold, a bunch of easy and decadent chocolate recipes for Easter, Valentines and other special occasions (ehem- today!), the most impressive recipe collection for a truly spectacular Holiday season and then when you are ready- have a complete detox program planned out for you, so all that's left to do is print out a shopping list (which of course will be included too)?

    Wouldn't that be great? Well guess what!..

    It IS great, because not only can you get my entire eBook collection, but you can save 20% when you buy the bundle. That's a saving of £12.00 (approx. US $18.50) and available to you right now for the Better Raw Store :)

    Happy healthy browsing,

    x Tanya
