Dessert is the last course of a lunch or dinner. Fruits are the most common desserts.

Most of your meals should be fruit salads. They are easy to make, delicious, and full of enzymes.

Fruit Salad Mix:

Freeze peeled, ripe bananas in freezer bags. As they start to freeze, break them up so they will not clump together. Bananas will store in the freezer for months. If you are cutting a frozen banana that is too hard, place it in the microwave for 10 seconds. To eat them like a Popsicle, wrap the bottom with a paper towel. For the fruit salad base, use oranges, melons, grapes, peaches, or the fruit of your choice. Dice the fruit into bite-sized pieces then place in a bowl. Frozen banana slices are added next. They taste like ice cream. Chill the mixture.

Fruit Salad Dressing:

The dressing is the most important part. The dressing will make fruit taste like one of the best desserts you have ever tasted, but it will be healthy. To make your dressing, mix applesauce and one tablespoon of orange or pineapple concentrate. Avocados also make an amazing dressing. Avocados are high in calories. They’re perfect if you are an athlete in training or have a fast metabolism and do not want to lose weight during the 30 days. Buy ripe avocados. Test them by pressing with your thumb. They should give a little, but not be mushy. To make an avocado dressing, blend avocados with frozen orange, pineapple or apple concentrate. Frozen juice concentrates sweeten the mixture. You can also use the frozen concentrates as a topping; just mush and spread over the top.

Fruit Salad Topping:

Sprinkle chopped dates with cinnamon for the final touch.
These fruit desserts will never get boring. You’ll feel no sleepiness or bloated feeling after eating, but a clean burst of energy. Try to make the mixture ten minutes in advance. Put it in the freezer, clean up and spend a few moments in prayer to be at peace. You will easily appreciate every bite.

Orange-Banana Shake:

1 Banana, 1/4 can frozen pineapple or orange concentrate, one-cup water and 4 ice cubes.

A Bigger Mountain

Congratulations! You’ve achieved the thirty days. You’re high on life, flying on the jet steams of joy. Every cell of your body is bursting with enthusiasm. Why stop here? The 30 days is just a launching pad. Bigger mountains are waiting. Consider the 90-day challenge. You are already one third of the way there. Your body and mind will feel amazing by this point. Believe that it gets even better. Climbing the 90-day mountain will revolutionize your life more than you can possibly believe.

The 90-day program has three parts:

Part 1: One thirty-day raw-food program.

Part 2: One thirty-day fast.

Part 3: Another thirty-day raw-food program.

The 30-day fast is mostly a juice fast, but we recommend two periods of water fasting of three days in length, or one five-day water fast during this time period. Read our book Fasting to Freedom; there are only a few health conditions that restrict fasting. It is not starving, as your body is being flooded with nutrients. Even during a water fast, the body has 3,500 calories per pound of body fat ready for use. The periods of water fasting are a time of prayer, brokenness, and humility before the awesomeness of God. Water fasting is a period of deeper cleansing. It’s a time to renew conviction and hunger for God. Because your body is clean, you will find these periods easy. There will be a sense of freedom that you have never experienced. Do not expect to feel dragged out; the exhilaration and closeness to God will belie description.

The 30 days back on the raw food diet is the only way to continue gaining more of the same astounding benefits you have received. Most people break a lengthy fast over 10 days. But thirty days is even better. After the 90 days, you can return to cooked food, small amounts of grains, sprouts, raw nuts, and all the delicious recipes we have listed in God’s Banquet Table.

May you be blessed in every way, and the favor of God shine upon you. May you be filled with everlasting joy.

This is a 30-day program to fight obsessive eating. This program is called the raw food diet.

We recommend 30 days on raw fruits and vegetables. Raw food is used by sanitariums in the healing of disease because it is similar to a juice fast in detoxifying the body. The process is slower, but the effect is the same; you will be revitalized. If you stick to this program, you will experience an exhilaration that you have never known. You will feel vitally alive. As your blood clears of all addictive substances, you will feel great. Any health conditions will be noticeably improved or even healed. Your sinuses will clear of mucus and you will be able to smell even the faintest of scents. You will be able to breathe deeply, feeling each breath enter the lungs. The mental fog will lift and your mind will become more alert. Your skin will soften and feel sleek. You will feel 10 years younger and look like it.

Raw food is loaded with enzymes, vitamins and minerals. For the first time in your life, your body is functioning free of heavy proteins, milk fats, animal fats, cholesterol, mucus forming starches, trans fatty acids, food additives and high doses of salt and sugar. You have given your body a time of rest and healing.

The first week will be the hardest, especially the first few days, for that is the time when the body undergoes the most intense cleansing. As the weeks progress, you will feel better and better.

Although juice fasting is superior in its healing effect, the challenge of a raw food diet is better than juice fasting at developing the skills to control food intake. When a compulsive eater juice fasts, he feels free from food addiction, but as soon as he starts to eat, hunger triggers all the compulsive desires and distorted thinking patterns that were never dealt with. The result is a binge. The benefit of a 30-day fast can be lost in three weeks of indulgence.

Juice fasting has more amazing benefits than a raw food diet, but first you must develop the skills to combat compulsive eating. By occasionally replacing meals with fresh-made juice, you are gaining the benefits of juice fasting while battling compulsive eating. For this reason, juice is an important component of the raw food program. Try to have freshly made juice each day.

In our book, God’s Banquet Table, you will find juice recipes, fruit recipes, blender recipes and raw vegetable recipes that will make your thirty days a pleasurable experience. The book also includes raw nut recipes, grain recipes and bean recipes and, although these are healthy in moderation, wait until the thirty days are over before adding them to the raw fruit and vegetable diet.

Thirty days of raw food is a challenge that will powerfully affect your life. These diet restrictions are difficult to face, but in doing so; you will bring about healthy changes that will benefit your body and mind. Healthy changes are an investment in your future.

The raw food diet includes:
1. Raw fruits and vegetables
2. Fruit and vegetable juices
3. Herbal teas
4. Honey and natural sweeteners
5. Frozen juice concentrates
6. Frozen fruit
