Hiya dears! I have the pleasure of bringing you another Raw Food Fight Interview, with Angela Stokes-Monarch of Raw Reform! I’ve felt Angela’s compassion and energy in person and I think you’ll really connect with her story here.
1. What brought you to raw food, what’s the story there?
In May 2002 I weighed nearly 300lbs, was morbidly obese, always ill and miserable. I was living in an ecovillage in Iceland at the time and a friend lent me the book Raw Family
2. What is your favorite savory raw recipe?
Energy soup: click here to see the recipe.
3. What do you think about eating disorders like orthorexia and the association with raw foods?
I think it’s fascinating that the media chooses to emphasize this connection… ;)
4. What has been the most life changing aspect of eating more raw food for you?
I released 160lbs of excess weight…and that was just the *start* of my transformation: my life is pretty much unrecognizable from before now…physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually – in every way imaginable.
5. Once someone has transitioned into the raw lifestyle, what would be the next step to take their health to the next level?
Regular colon cleansing to help with the detox – either professional colonics, or enemas at home, or both ;)
6. To you, what is the meaning or purpose of life?
To enjoy and share love.
7. Tell me about your latest project and how people can get their hands on it.
I just released the free “Profoundly Raw Recipes” ebook, which contains over 35 free recipes from 12 top raw chefs – anyone can download it for free from http://www.ProfoundlyRawRecipes.com – enjoy ;)
8. If you could summarize your experience with raw food, what one word would you use?
Magnificent.
Thank You!
Great insights Angela! Especially to realize that the media likes to focus on the negative rather than the positive. Woah. I can just feel the lightness and transformation through Angela’s writing. :)
I’ll be resuming the Raw Food Fight Interview series after the Cure Cravings Forever launch dust settles. Join me tomorrow for a live ustream video to help you “Get Back in Control” of your eating habits!

Very nice! I enjoy these segments. :)
Thank you so much Rosie! It's so awesome to get the perspective from other amazing raw foodies. I've also got some men lined up, and that will be great… I'm always curious how guys in the raw movement perceive things. :)
