KRISTINA!!!! I have been following you for about 3 years now going on 4. And all I can say is thank you for being you. Seriously! I stumbled across you on YouTube a few years ago while I was looking for juice recipes for my new nutribullet. And i got hooked! You inspired me to go fully raw. One day being a devoted carnivore, to being fully raw and never looking back. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 years ago.  When I was 20 years young! After being fully raw for a couple of months I went to get a check up on my diabetes with a blood test. The results were out of this world Kristina...I actually cured my diabetes. Yes CURED my diabetes after following and using alot of your delicious recipes. I'm crying as I'm typing this! And lost 60 plus lbs! I left you a comment a couple years back on IG about it but I don't know if you read it. All I want is to be able to tell you thank you for helping me save my life. You are an amazing, talented, beautiful, young lady! And I thank god for letting me stumble across your youtube. I love you girl! And I can't wait till I receive this amazing book in my hands!!!!

I received this book and read it front to back in one sitting. I learned a lot, but it was more like chatting with a friend than reading a textbook. Gave me tons of motivation and an awesome program schedule to fit my current needs, AND schedules for when I get better/faster.

Thanks for writing a book that didn't make me feel like a slow, fat, lazy, looser. And thanks for writing it so that even a slow, fat, lazy, looser can feel motivated and inspired!

(I literally ran from the living room to the kitchen about 10 times after reading it...I was so anxious to get started!) Haha!

Inspiring, motivating and real life application for the average woman who doesn't know where her body went!  Was engaged right from page 1 and throughout...the author cut to the core of what it is like for me to be a busy working mother who unfortunately forgot how to take care of her health. Reading this book is a real push and encouragement that a woman can actually reclaim her body and her health even if faced with physical adversities. The photos are breath taking and the workouts are actually an achievable regimen that leave me feeling confident that I'll continue because it's paying off.
I carry the book around with me as a reminder that I have started my lifestyle change and commitment to take care of my self!

The real life stories brought to light throughout the book are awesome, touching, and inspiring!  The other piece of the puzzle that I'd never thought of in my own person battle with staying fit and living a healthy lifestyle is the importance of a support group and good influences that encourage you on your way to achieving a goal.  Kris does a great job of documenting these stories.

Captain Ahab: Fighting his phantom pain and the stress/depression of losing his leg with the natural medicine of exercise and healthy living.
Judi Errol: Captain Ahab's wife whom suffered from multiple different conditions and decided to change her life along side her husband.  Through unbridled support they both achieved things they could've never dreamed of
Antonio Wright: Rejected by girls due to his weight, Antonio saw he had let his weight get out of control.  Antonio made a change for the better by changing his eating habits, exercising more, but also by building his support system.  Again, Kris explains the importance of accountability, "The more people who know (you're trying to get into shape), the more you're held accountable."

These stories inspired me and gave me a new sense of direction in my personal goals to achieving the physique of my dreams.  Not only is this book full of motivating and relateable testimonials but also vital information and tools that I believe could get even the most stubborn people to the gym!

Warning:  Kris isn't lying when he says the book isn't about a simple miracle drug that you can pound down with your donuts and soda.  It is about a positive lifestyle change that will take dedication and focus.

I loved everything about this book!
I could so identify with Ada, her beliefs, thoughts, position in life, etc.
I could so identify with her weight challenges.
I so loved how Alice chronicles her weight loss journey 'through' Ada.
My only regret (and warning to others starting this book on what 'not' to do) is that I immediately got so absorbed into reading and enjoying Ada's journey that I did not journey with her!!  (and I also have some pounds to shed!!!)  I'm actually thinking of re-reading just so that I can lose weight with her.  Wow! Just the thought of shedding the pounds as we read a great book!  Novel idea!  Masterful Alice Randall!  (Also, this is a great gift idea for someone wanting to shed some extra weight!)

I'm loving the New Fat Flush Plan! I've lost weight in the past - and kept it off - by following the Fat Flush Plan, but this updated version is so full of new information and additional foods and recipes that I can't wait to try them all. I've been concerned about gaining weight through the holidays and this book came just in time to help me stay on track without feeling deprived. Ann Louise goes above and beyond the usual dietary advice and gives well researched, sound information that empowers me to continue building a healthy lifestyle. I like her approachable writing style which I find to be very engaging. The Hidden Factors to weight gain revealed some extremely valuable keys for me to unlock answers to specific problems I face, as well as enabling me to help some of my family members with certain health challenges. I highly recommend this incredibly valuable book to anyone who struggles with their weight or to anyone who wants cutting edge keys to developing a truly healthy life in the midst of this often toxic world in which we live.

This is a must have for people looking for a life style change! The recipes! The photos! The inspiring words from the author make it obvious that she is living the journey with us. This will stay on my counter, not on my shelf!

this book thrills one reader who is very well versed in these areas of effective living, lives them, and STILL finds open windows to new ways to live even "mo bettah"
.it is common to think we believe something and that gives birth to our choices, but what we DONT realize is that those choices are not only the result of our beliefs, but the root of them.....what we choose reinforces our beliefs about who we are, which means
that our poor choices make us happy because they let us know we  were correct in our beliefs in the first place....in other words, it is like the cycle in the chipmunks cage... example......I think I am fat... I eat lemon pie, I remain fat  I know I am correct in thinking I am fat....
knowing Juliana as I do, I see this book as a journal of her personal development....she came into this world as a traditional Korean woman, and is now living in this world as a modern American one......I have seen her life change 180degrees....she is smart, she is compassionate, and she is brave enough see that what she learned as a child was a large part of why she is was not living w joy....she decided to change her belief system. almost..completely,by changing her choices......brava!  bravissima!  by  francinelee hand aka david's siegel's wife

Kristina,

I forget exactly how I found your Amazing work, but I am soooooo happy that I did .. It was a divine path of destiny to find your gorgeous persona, in and out - to see how much you LOVE health and how your passion is not only fueling your health, but your life's dream work too ... I am always so inspired by your energy and creativity - your smile is Infectious :) ... Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with us, who too, desire health and wholeness, not merely for our bodies alone, but also for our entire lives .. While I am not 100% raw vegan, I respect the lifestyle and purposefully incorporate many of the attributes. I simply had to order your book - not only for myself, but because I desired to support you as well. Even IF folks only learn new recipes or are simply inspired to choose a healthier breakfast, at least, they will be MUCH better off from an encounter w/you! Wishing you ONLY continued happiness and success! ROCK On Sister! :)

This book is Amazing!!! Thank you to Brant, Jim and all of the others who allowed their stories to be shared in such an authentic way. It is truly inspiring. My advice would be complete the workbook section. I  learned things about myself, including what motivates me. Therefore, I put my plans into action in response to changes happening in my life.

Kaelin is amazing and a motivator! This book shares her very real story and transformation! I'm so glad I found her Ladyboss group as there is such a sisterhood in this group! She is raw and real and doesn't sugarcoat but it's exactly what I need! If you want to lose weight forever, this book will help the mind shift and her support is priceless!

Tory does an amazing job of showing you how your choices and your mindset determines your ability to make ANY shift in your life. I am blown away with the "realness" in her story - can't believe some of the details she reveals!!! Before I read this book, I couldn't even see the possibility...I had just resolved to live my life in this size 14 body...now I can see how if I make a mental shift, pause when I am in reactive mode and keep moving forward...that smaller frame, healthier body and happier life is just waiting for me to catch up! Thank You TORY!!!

I have been following Kristina and her youtube channel for a while now and I have so much love for this girl. She inspires me and helps me learn how to love my body no matter how I may feel about it. I was able to overcome body hate and an eating disorder. I have also become healthier by following a lot of these recipes that this wonderful girl shares with us. During the first two years of college I gained weight and realized how it may hurt me in the future. I have been a vegetarian for 4 years now and I am trying to slowly become vegan and try to eat at least one fully raw meal a day. This book will inspire you and show you not only the journey to eating fully raw but how to love your body and eat healthy. This book is a MUST read !so proud of you Kristina cannot wait for what is to come and ill be here every step of the way with you :)!

I loved loved this book....I checked it out at our local library and read it cover to cover in two days...Thats a record for me...I love that this woman took a sensible approach to her weight loss and over a course of 4 years, took the weight off.  I find it frustrating when all the books tell of 100+ weight loss in a matter of 10-12 months...It made me feel lazy and inadequate to have lost 60 in a year...but not anymore having read this book.  So many of the things she went thru I can relate to and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel gives me so much added motivation to keep doing what I am doing and it will pay off...It has already...Definately a book to read over and over again:)
