VLADA DIVINE ON RAW FRUIT/FOOD DIET

Have really been enjoying Audry Wild's Brilliant Body Health Summit online.  She is interviewing 27 Raw Fruit and Veggies speakers this month. 

So far we have enjoyed listening to seven of the speakers:

Most are giving pretty much the same information and I would like to include my notes  here to remember it. 

For enough calories include dates with your banana smoothie
Transition with potato with salsa if necessary
Add greens for minerals to keep cravings away.  Greens are ESSENTIAL!

Today, dad, Luigi and I went out to lunch to Jack-in-the-box.  Then, first we went to the dog park at 7th and Mission in Hayward.  Then, over to the new dog park on Sleepy Hollow.  Both parks were exceptionally fun today.  Lots of nice people and fun dogs.  Really great day.
