A tip for the busy person and Green Juice recipe.

359 days to book launch! I'm sure the person with a busy business lifestyle can appreciate this tip: whenever I have a lot of work happening, and I might be booked busy for a few days at a time, I take with me everywhere Phresh greens. It is a greens powder, dried up greens (kale, spinach, wheatgrass etc all that good stuff), and I mix it with water. After drinking it I feel like I am fulfilled on getting nutrients. It is food. Quick food. Yes fresh is always best if you can eat an apple a complete whole food well we all know how many nutrients we get from that, or make a juice of greens then we are getting raw living nutrients which is optimal! But when you can't do that, phresh greens is perfect for just mixing with water and drinking. It's high vibe superfood drink. Do I get paid to say this? Well kind of. I sell and promote products that I use myself. Like you can too with whatever you use, hopefully it's also earth friendly and making people healthier! I am the author of a healthy lifestyle, so I expect I would share honest brands and clean nutrition products with you! I wouldnt put poison into my body so makes sense to stand behind something that is life givibg! You get 10% off the greens forever at my affiliate page www.phreshproducts.com/Ted
I am building my online store so people can buy huge baskets full of Earth Diet food for as many days as you want. Including clay and chocolate too! There are so many great healthy products available to us now! We really are living in good times! I am celebrating being here, and learning how each person has a unique gift and message to offer the planet. We are all so tasty and vibrant in our own way.

If you don't like the sound of greens powder Make a fresh juice! Using ingredients from your garden Would be ultimate!

Tip for the busy person: Make all your juice on Sunday, and freeze juices for the entire week. Take out a juice everyday! Fresh is best, but frozen is second best!

Here is a Green Juice recipe:

Total time: 5-10 minutes
Serves: 1
Ingredients:
3 x cucumber
1 x green apple
Action:
1. Chop and juice cucumber and apples together.

2. Serve
Benefits:
Only 2 ingredients

Great for skin and hair
Very quick and easy
EVERY single recipe on this website uses nature’s ingredients, only.
* Always choose ORGANIC, local and seasonal whenever possible. 

This recipe was invented by Chizelle who is an Earth Diet Mentor. 

Today at the Hay House event with Reid Tracy and Cheryl Richardson I realized, I want to write out my bio as if I am 80 years old and talk about what I have done and experienced and how I have felt throughout my life and what I will do for the next 20 years as I make it to 100! Well I can certainly dream! And so I will write that out. I encourage you to as well, write out how you want the story of your life to go. What people will remember you for, what you did in your life, how you felt and how you experienced some really great things.


"It may just be that a true wake-up call creates a true shift in consciousness." Cheryl Richardson
The day the tumor popped in my neck was my true wake-up call. Ever since I've been on the path to a natural lifestyle and life is growing healthier and healthier. 

I am noticing how at times what comes up for me is that I am intimated by other people, based upon their business experience I decide if they are better than me or not. I realize this is not a productive way to be, it doesn't feel right to feel less than other people, and I realize we are all as equal as each other, and how I figure this is that we all share one huge huge huge thing in common... FOOD! We all eat food! As you know food realllllly excites me. So does aging. I really am looking forward to be 80 years old, but I am also enjoying the present time as well :) I am learning boundaries... Doing life the best I can, I am becoming my own best friend! I realize my healthiest self is loving myself consistently and fueling my body with nourishing foods. I remember this exact quote I wrote in the new Earth Diet manuscript  "Good food and good thoughts is good medicine." Simple yet super effective! 

I'm excited. 

I had lunch today at One Lucky Duck at Chelsea market. I more like had a dessert lunch. Raw nutrient packed desserts have made my life so delicious. 

Good night. Have a beautiful full nourished sleep. I am excited for all of us!

Knowing your values.

360 days to book launch! Today I had lunch at Organic Avenue, I had a green juice and chocolate cashew ice cream YUM! Dinner I had 2 Earth Diet Chocolate Almond Butter cups and sea weed snacks! Today I ate between events and meetings and started the day with beet juice and green tea. Feeling nourished.

Today I was at the Movers and Shakers event with CEO of Hay House Reid Tracy and Cheryl Richardson. We spoke a lot about our own values. The exercise we did was look at a list of values, and circled the ones that jumped out at us. There were 200 words to choose from. If you want to do this exercise yourself go to www.coachu.com or just print out this blog and see what values stick out to you from this list: remember its about finding out about your own life values.

Know your values!

So first pick the values and circle the ones that jump out at you. And the go through the values you chose and select on 4.

What are your values? And a tip for when choosing your values, pick values that you are NOW, not what you want to be in the future. If you pick the values you are now you will own your powerful platform and foundation.

Reading through the event materials today this quote stuck out to me, and I wanted to share it for people thinking they can't lose weight no matter what they do. Eating good foods is just as important as emotional letting go...and it is a process! I have accepted health is a life long process and I am happy with that.

"You have to lose stress to lose weight; your body has to feel safe enough to just let go." Marcelle Pick

Cellular Biology

Some people probably won't agree with this, but I ate raw chocolate cashew ice cream for breakfast. Why? Because I felt like it. I am happy about my choice and I figure it's better than me eating candy or processed chocolate for breakfast. I am still getting nutrients from my cashew ice cream. I did have the ice cream after I did 15 minutes of oil pulling with sesame seed oil, then brushed my teeth with baking soda and bentonite clay, and then had a drink of diatomaceous earth.

Here is my recipe for cashew ice cream for you: http://www.theearthdiet.org/19/post/2013/08/cashew-chocolate-ice-cream.html

I was super excited to see Natural News feature my blog "Recipes for the Heart" on their home page today! Here is the link for you: http://blogs.naturalnews.com/recipes-for-the-heart/


I am very excited, grateful and at times nervous to be living in these times. It is overall an exhilarating time to be alive. We are taking self healing and health to new levels like never before.

How's this for new times... 

From fellow Hay House Author, Bruce Lipton:

Dr. Bruce Lipton is a cellular biologist whose breakthrough research, revealing how our thoughts affect every one of the cells in our bodies, made him a pioneer in what is known as the "new biology."

"Conventional physics sees the human body as a machine made of atoms and mol- ecules, while quantum physics reveals that underneath that apparent structure there is nothing other than energy. That means we are energy beings interacting with everything else in the entire energy field. The wholeness of it is the single true reality. In trying to understand a person's health, for example, if you only focus on physical traits, you miss the influence of surrounding energy fields. If you only focus on the person's body, you miss the impact that environment plays in shaping that body.
Why this "wholeness" is relevant in our lives goes back to a quote by Einstein: "The field is the sole governing agency of the particle." This dictum provides us with insight as to how the "field" created by our thoughts affects the "particles" that we physically perceive as our world and life experiences.
To understand how the field works, we start with the fact that we are made of cells. Cells are individual living organisms made from protein building blocks. There are over 100,000 different kinds of proteins, which are molecules with complex shapes that behave like gears that engage with each other. Some of these coupled-protein gears create respiration, some provide digestion, others contract muscles, etc. The blueprints for these gears are the genes. When the cell needs to make gears for a particular function, it selects the appropriate blueprint from the DNA, copies it and uses the copy as a template to build the cell's protein."

Today as I was on the Earth Diet facebook page and saw this testimonial that I thought was awesome and inspiring, and wanted to share it with you:


"You were the one who changed my husband and I and we are nearing 60! People comment on how great we look. .. but the best part is we feel so young after dropping some unnecessary weight we had been carrying around for years. We connected with our food on a different level than ever before and we are farmers! Thanks for being there for us! I tell everyone to check The Earth Diet out. Food is a big part of well-being and I am also a energy worker."

Love and hugs,
Teresa and David F
Alexandria, TN

I also did yoga today which is a good balance. Sometimes it's challenging for me to want to do anything else but connect with people online and make food and eat food, but I know I always enjoy how I feel after yoga so I'm glad I made that happen. I am also happy with a life of just traveling, food and connecting with people online and in person, so I never have anything to complain about. If I complain I can tell myself to shut up and remind myself what I have to be grateful for! I really have no time for complaining. It only makes me feel bad and it unproductive. 

I also wrote my first monthly health column for massepequa news paper which I'm excited about. I am going to write monthly tips and recipes and let people know how they can get ingredients from Organic Corner. I really love that community.

Here is an article the newspaper wrote about my last raw food class there. You can read the article here:


I also found out today that Wild By Nature an organic supermarket in Huntington will be donating ingredients for my event "All You Can Eat" next weekend!!! I am so excited because I love this store and excited to use their ingredients to feed people recipes from my new manuscript and talk about them :)

I am at the Movers and Shakers event this weekend with Reid Tracy (CEO of Hay House), and Cheryl Richardson. What I got from the session tonight was a great reminder, to be grounded and present while working towards my next level in business.

361 days to the new Earth Diet book launch!

I am happy with my body and shape!

With 362 days to the launch of the new Earth Diet book published by Hay House, here is what I did:

I was sent this photo of me taken at the I Can Do It Event,  taken by my friend Roxxe who is a photographer in NYC #icdiny13 this past weekend. I am happy with my body shape :) !!!


Roxxe took this photo after Wayne Dyer spoke, he is so loving, peaceful and so empowering. He had a positive impact on a lot of people at the event. So did the rest of the speakers. They all contribute so much goodness to the world. I noticed among most of their speeches they talked about GMO's and the quality of the food, and spoke about the inportance of natural and organic food. I believe a natural lifestyle resonates with everyone at the core, we all know to connect with earth and live a clean lifestyle. It's clear we are heading in a good direction.


Met with my publicist Richelle, and Ashley at Peacefood Cafe, the new location that opened downtown NYC. It was a stunning setting. I had a beet juice with pineapple... Delicious!!! If you are afraid you won't like beet, try adding apple or pineapple to make it sweet and delicious. And here is a recipe for a vegetable beet juice: http://www.theearthdiet.org/3/post/2012/11/beet-juice.html

Walked around the city, it is Halloween today so people are dressed up and it's so fun! The weather is beautiful my coat can stay open!

Had divine cashew ice cream, chocolate and also mint chip at Organic Avenue! Sat outside and ate both flavors and enjoyed kids walk past acknowledging this was an organic store and probably won't have candy!!! They are right haha! But they do have raw chocolate!



Speaking of raw chocolate today I had two chocolate peanut butter cups for breakfast!!! It felt great to start the day on delicious protein and I felt really happy... Must be the cacao! ;) and the combination of peanut butter! I love these so much that I have them made for me by a great chocolatier! They are available on my website anytime! And more and more stores. Request them from your local juice bar or organic store if you want them in the area!


I was craving lollies/candy the past two days, maybe its the Halloween spirit! I was craving gummi bears and weird brightly colored candies! I wondered if I would eat some but then I figured I don't feel like digesting that stuff so I ate plenty of raw chocolate and raspberry cashew cheesecake I made to satisfy those cravings! And I got through it! Now I don't have the craving. And looking forward to my green drink tomorrow!

I brought some chocolate to lunch with me for Richelle and Ashley and the NYC Hay House office. I also brought some phresh greens with me to share! If I'm meeting you and I'm excited I'm most likely bringing you some food, something delicious or something super healthy for energy!!! I love it :)

Today I also gave some bentonite clay to the beautiful woman who washes my hair at the hair salon whichhhhh by the way vegans will love this... the New York Hair CO uses vegan products only... And organic as much as possible they are transitioning to everything organic and natural. As we all know its a process! They use animal cruelty free shampoos and even have organic dyes. Dogs are allowed! They have vegan dog treats for your lover! It's a fun environment. I brought my hairdresser a carrot shot, since its Halloween!

Next week I go on the radio to talk about ... Let's seeeee food and recipes!!! Excited! More details to come, I'm sure on Facebook!

I love how candy is being redefined to fruit smoothies being dried and rolled into a thick candy square fold or a ball of sweetness. Brilliant... Absolutely brilliant. Healthy AND delicious. Best combination ever!

Going to Movers and Shakers event this weekend. Excited.

Tonight I affirm I will have a nourishing peaceful sleep. I hope. Haha! ;))) !!!

Love Liana.

Affirmation, chocolate and clay.

Today I got that relaxation is just as important as work. I am creating a great balance of work, play and relaxation in my life. 

Today I ate a lot of raw chocolate which made me very happy! Including the Earth Diet Chocolate Almond Butter Cups and Noah's Rock'n Raw Chocolates. I also had a bentonite clay drink and diatomaceous earth drink. 





Love this quote by Louise L. Hay: 'I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.',

My two most popular health tips.

364 days to book launch! I started the morning by having a beautiful nourishing sleep in! I appreciated it, and something I learned from Louise Hay is to say thank you to the bed for a wonderful nights sleep!

At noon I met with Steph Hendel who is a health coach and from the Raw Sistahs! 


We walked through Central Park, we actually walked from one end to the other! It was a gorgeous day with blue sky and the sun shining so bright! Ending at Columbus Circle Wholefoods and had a beet juice. It was so fun and refreshing to spend time with someone the same age as me on the same mission to share health with the world! Steph was beaming with energy and vibrancy! We talked about being young entrepreneurs, about our story to how we got here, and things we may face in the future :) We were also present to the beautiful nature in Central Park! She filmed me for her Vlog and asked my two most popular health tips which are:

1. What is the quickest and healthiest AND affordable health tip people can incorporate into their lives daily? 
LEMON WATER! A great refreshing drink that is alkalizing, high in vitamin C, immune boosting and raw. I find that when people start the day with lemon water they choose healthier options throughout the day. It also helps with digestion, and if you find yourself eating any junk food, drink lemon water after and it will help to move the toxins out of your system, it also declares to your body that you are committed to a healthy well nourished body!

2. Recipe I'd like to share? 
YES of course! One of the most popular recipes are 3-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE! 
1. Cacao powder
2. A base - ground up almonds (almond meal), or any other nut. Or for nut allergies use sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds! 
3. A sweetener - either dates, honey or maple syrup! 
Action: MIX IT ALL UP! Then you can roll it into balls, or squares for brownies, or use it as a pie base! You can also add things like salt, vanilla, peanut butter for Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls! 

Here is the video of our adventure! 

Today in preparation to my new book being published by Hay House in 364 days, I defined what I want to feel like and look like the day of the launch. I really want to find a healthy balance between work, play and relaxation. I find myself working a lot more than anything else, and feeling guilty if I am relaxing. I am on a mission so I constantly find myself working. My idea of health is a balance. 

This weather in NYC is cold, and makes me want to snuggle up in bed with a cup of tea and cookie and watch movies. I notice my body is not as productive in colder weather, so I am drinking lots of tea, and eating soups to keep my body warm and energized! 

Yesterday on the first day of the countdown I craved a hamburger and fries. I didn't have it, instead I went to Pure Food and Wine and had divine raw foods with friends! Today I was craving gummi bears, I didn't have it. Instead I had beet juice. I know tomorrow I am making Earth Diet Chicken Nuggets so I am using today as a cleanse day, and I've had a bentonite clay drink, diatomaceous drink, green tea, beet juice and phresh greens. Getting my nutrition from liquids. I love cleanse days. 

The day of the book launch I want to feel really fulfilled that I have done everything I could to get the message out about health and help as many people as possible with my recipes! Before I started the Earth Diet I wished I could be free of binge eating on junk foods, now I dream of being free of fear and negativity that holds me back at times. I find myself thinking, if only I could never have another negative feeling or thought ever again! I would have so much more energy and be so productive! But I realize life happens, so I will do my best to live day by day! 

Starting this countdown has really made me value every day, I have 364 days to go and I wonder how each one will unfold, and I wonder what each day will be! Of course I have a schedule but life always has unexpected meetings and experiences awaiting! 

Join me in the health movement! Share recipes to your friends and family! There are hundreds for free on my website www.theearthdiet.com 

And of course when the book comes out next October it will make a great holiday gift and new years gift! For this year, the original Earth Diet book that I produced last year is still available and will not be available as of February 2014, so if you want a limited edition book signed by me go to this link to order: http://www.theearthdiet.org/book.html

I believe the people and the earth are getting healthier. Do you?

Lots of love!

The beginning of the book launch! 365 day COUNTDOWN!

Hi everyone!

Wow what a full on day!

I made a big public announcement today for the first time on LIVE RADIO! Go to www.naturalnewsradio.com for the archives!

I have officially started the countdown 365 days to the launch of my new book The Earth Diet published by Hay House! The book is set to be published October 28th 2014.

I spent today recording for radio majority of the day, and then out to dinner with friends and co-workers and health advocates at Pure Food and Wine the greatest healthy restaurant in Manhattan!



If you are not a subscriber to The Earth Diet (you can subscribe here), this is the email that was sent out about my announcement:
Hi everyone!!! In case you missed me live on the radio today, I announced my big news for the first time to the public! 
If you want to listen to the radio show here is the archive.
So here is my big announcement!!!
I have been holding this in since April. Why? For many reasons that I will share with you one day. Firstly i want you all to know what you can count on me for. You can always count on me for being authentic, open, honest and real. And i mean that! My life depends on it! i have a responsibility to hold integrity with my work doing The Earth Diet. It is all about honest food labels and real foods without toxic chemicals. 
So as my job as the author of The Earth Diet, and the creator since starting my daily blog to break my junk food addiction, it is my job and commitment to you to be real about my experiences while living this lifestyle. This does make me feel vulnerable but i would rather be honest about my life and the food we eat, than to not share authenticness. You won't ever see me promote a food product that uses toxic harmful chemical ingredients. 
Why am I saying all this? Because with what I am about to tell you comes a story. A story of epic ups and downs. Some people may think my life is perfect because i live this lifestyle, other people have told me they idolize me and they dream that i am this perfect health miracle. I am not to be idolized and as i am exactly the same as everyone. i am just living my purpose and doing what i feel like i came here to do: To live a natural powerful life that I love and to share it with others. Inside of that comes a lot of challenges i am faced with. I am not going to share all of that now, i have our entire lifetime to share that with you all! 
And as of today a 365 day countdown begins. And I feel like I am about to have a baby and in 365 days from now that baby will be born although it is not a baby... It is a book!!! But not just any book!!! A book published by Hay House!
It is official that Hay House will publish The Earth Diet book next October 28th exactly 365 days from now!!! 
This is a big deal! And I would love to share with you about how I got signed by them! And the good thing is I have 365 days to prepare for the book launch, and I will share it with you all. I am inviting you to come on this journey with me and see how it all unfolds!!!! 
Hay house is a dream come true. it was unbelievable to sign a contract with them. It took me months to accept it. It had been a dream of mine since 18! I had this dream for 8 years and it came true! Just like that one day it came true!!! Something that had always been a dream became real! 
Another Hay House best selling author Gregg Braden says "we are already in the next age, the age of meeting ourselves again." It's time for me to face that I am a powerful leader who has transformed my health. Life has not been perfect and I am dealing with life just like every other human being! Just like you! And I have found a way to have a great relationship with food! So I welcome you on my journey. 
When I was 18 I read Eckhart Tolle's book "The Power Of Now" which really kick started my spiritual journey. I knew then I wanted to have a book one day like Eckhart Tolle, but I had no idea it would be The Earth Diet! 
I then went on to read Wayne Dyer's book, Louise Hay, Esther Hicks, Bruce Lipton, Debbie Ford, Marianne Williamson and Anita Moorjani learning that they ALL share the same book publisher! Hay house! I learned that these people are the leading world changers and combined have sold over 500,000 million books and they go on Oprah, become best sellers, and really make a positive impact in the world! These are the people I dreamed of being surrounded by! 
How The Earth Diet book will affect the world...

It will help a lot of people to transform their health using these recipes. It will help people to lose excess weight to heal themselves! To replace their favorite junk foods with healthy chocolate and ice creams and cheesecakes! It will make the Earth a less chemical place and a more organic and harmonious place to live! And Hay House are making The Earth Diet book available in all the Barnes and Noble book stores in the world, at airports, organic stores, on kindle and amazon! It will be much more accessibly available than what I could have done on my own. 
As some of you know I self published The Earth Diet book in 2012 which now will become the original limited! Consider it an art piece! This book will be discontinued I think by February so grab a copy of that one now if you want a collectors item! 
Hay house have redesigned the book. I have worked on a new manuscript since April this year! It has triple the amount of recipes and of course it's very well edited! 
I am so excited to go on this journey with you! Since after all this is for the Earth, not just me! I have included your favorite recipes and tips in the book and will make a great gift for your family and friends! From all the questions I have received from you in the past few years, I have included in the book! 
My experience since the day being signed in April is... Acceptance of success and then pressure to perform. To cope with this I have created the possibility that I will live my life with presence, peace, confidence and lots and lots of love. 
This all started because I wanted so bad to break my junk food habit so I started a blog and readers held me accountable. I broke that and am free of it. The Earth Diet recipes and ideas essentially saved me and now I share it with others. the joy of others also finding freedom around food and health is the most fulfilling thing I can ever experience. 
I invite you on my 365 day countdown to the launch! Welcome to The Earth Diet! I love you! 
I have no idea what I am in for haha! So excited and nervous to see how it unfolds. I am realistic I know it won't always be easy. I will certainly be faced with challenges, but I do know I have a choice of how I face each thing and what I do from that. I still crave junk food when I get stressed but I am not willing to let stress beat me. I am on the pursuit of a happy, healthy, peaceful, fulfilled life! 
I heard an interesting thing from a fellow Hay House author this weekend at the "I Can Do It Event" in NYC that "we are drowning with information but starving for wisdom..." I believe everything we need is within us. You already know how to live a natural life that you love, you already know what your body needs. I'm just here to provide recipes you might love! 
Love,
Liana
