There are so many health reasons to cut down on and eliminate sugar.

But before we go on...let's just see if the Raw Chef Low Sugar Foundation Award is right for you.
* Perhaps you feel lacklustre and under weather, you don't have much energy and find it difficult to get motivated (and you've heard how a high raw lifestyle can help.
* Or maybe your sugar consumption has crept up and you are concerned. Maybe you have a family history of auto immune conditions or diabetes and know that you need to take action NOW to live your best life.
* Maybe you experience brain fog, bloating, weight gain, storing fat around the middle, or mood swings which can be signs of insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes (these can be attributed to other issues too so it's always good to seek medical advice).
* Maybe you think that you'll NEVER be one of those people that will enjoy chowing down on a bowl of raw kale. (By the way, I'm not that person and never will be) ...unless something drastic happens to the kale.
* You want to move beyond 'chuck everything in the blender and hope for the best' raw food recipes - because it can lead to varying results and ingredients can be expensive.
So, you may be wondering if this foundational training is going to be worth your time because you're just not that sure if raw food is for you..... (by the way, this programme has a money back guarantee so it's risk free).

“Deb has a knack of taking simple ingredients and elevating them into something that tastes deliciously satisfying – dare I say, even decadent at times – yet they're nourishing! The Nut Free Chocolate Brownie recipe blew my mind – I’m still in awe. The Moroccan Couscous is now an all-time favourite. There are so many recipes – real winners that have that magic balance of being both nutritious and delicious – and they don’t take days to prepare. I loved this course!”

“To work with Deborah has been one of my greatest experiences since starting with raw cuisine. She is truly a ‘Raw Food Wizard.”
Monika Wacker, Switzerland www.schoccolatta.com
“Having spent months searching for a good course, a few disasters in the kitchen and quite a bit of wasted time and money, I had a chance encounter with an old school friend living in the UK who highly recommended Deb. I have not looked back and the decision to do this course is one of the best I've made for me and my personal growth. It's not just a good course - it's a GREAT course. The group are open, helpful and so willing to support each other. The recipes are very well put together AND better still, they work and compliment each other. The techniques and skills you will learn will so broaden your horizons and the possibilities are, well endless. Deb in my opinion has got the experience and expertise like no-one else I have come across in this business. There are so many levels this course can take you. I'm so glad I choose to do it.”
