More Growing Raw NewsletterMay 2010I've been doing some extra legwork this month for those of you that are interested in losing weight. I know the Northern hemisphere's Summer is coming up, so many of you will be starting to think about getting into shape.My recommendation is don't panic diet! The best weight loss plan is to eat healthy and lose weight. Key research from the National Weight Control Registry indicates that the 20% of dieters who successfully maintain weight loss for more than a year have something in common. Successful dieters:
There's also been a rush of motivating success stories from Growing Raw visitors about healthy eating and losing weight. It's been encouraging to read how people changed their eating habits so they would lose weight and keep it off. Omel was especially successful because he increased the amount of raw food in his diet. Joan chose a healthy eating strategy that made her feel satisfied and resulted in gradual weight loss. You can add your own story about following a healthy diet to lose weight here. Healthy Eating Habits SurveyThanks to more than a hundred people who responded to my short survey about which healthy eating habit you'd most like to work on. You surprised me! More than 50% of people said they'd like to make sure they're really eating the recommended 5 servings of vegetables in their daily diet. I guess when you stop and count up it's easy to come up short. Eating 5 different vegetables does not equal 5 servings of vegetables.So, seeings you asked for it, you'll get it. I'm busily working on a e-book that will hold your hand and keep you motivated as you get in the habit of vegging up. Of course all you lovely More Growing Raw subscribers will get the earlybird offer, so please watch out for that next month. In the meantime, here's some info on how to get a raw vegetable diet boost. Also, late one night I knocked out this page on the best vegetables to eat. People are getting pretty serious about their favourite vegetables! I really like so many veggies, but for sure I'm going to decide on my own favourite soon and add my opinion up there. What's your favourite veggie? (Bet you never even thought about it...) Please feel free to contact me or email me at trina@growingraw.com if you have any feedback, questions, comments or requests.

My selection of herbs and spices were delivered quickly and were of the best quality I have seen. Great service, fantastic products. Fresh organic herbs from a supplier I trust. - Susan S.
Overall, it was a very positive experience.... they treated me in an exemplary manner when I first ordered from them. I got exactly the product I needed/ordered/expected vis-a-vis the sprouting wheatgrass seeds. I would certainly order from them again for anything that specific. - geo442
