Hello Raw Food Enthusiasts!

Since this is the most challenging time of the year to stay committed to our chosen eating habits, applying these helpful tips can help you maintain your health, your weight and a stress-free holiday spirit.


Join Diana Stoevelaar from Awesome Rawsome Lifestyle as she talks about how to maintain your chosen eating habits through the holidays as well as how to handle social situations in ways that do not offend the host or hostess. Strategies for getting what you want and need in restaurants and while traveling will also be discussed. She will also share a Restaurant Card that she has developed that can give a restaurant an outline of your dietary requirements and makes it easy for the chef or server to prepare your meal.
