What is the best available book about live-food?
There are several books on the market that include live-food rationale information and recipes. My absolute favorite is “Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine” by Gabriel Cousens, M.D. The first book that got me turned on to living foods was “The Hippocrates Diet” by Ann Wigmore. Just reading about the theory behind live-food made so much sense to me. It struck a core and resonated more deeply than anything I had ever thought about food. This book was a great starting ground, but I still recommend Cousens’ book because it backs up the theories with scientific evidence. It also includes some of the latest findings affecting the live-food movement, such as recommending reduced intake of grains and legumes. Additionally, the recipes in “Rainbow Green” are full of flavor (more than most other live-food programs) and simple to follow. One other great book is David Wolfe’s “Sunfood Diet Success System” – although it focuses less on recipes and more on theory and emotional support.
