3 Book Reviews | Fab Friday Giveaway
Hey everyone!
I’ve been neglecting the blog of late due to our travels to Oz (yep we are still here – hubs leaves to head back to work tomorrow and I have another week here), but I’ve been updating daily eats, and raw food tips on the facebook page if you’ve missed me!
One of the great things about writing a health focused blog is connecting with other great likeminded people, who share the same healthy living vision and enthusiasm to encourage others to join in.
Over the years of writing Girl on Raw, I’ve not only met some wonderful people in real person, but online too, and it’s a great little community we are building.
Today I’m going to share with you 3 people whom I’ve ‘met’ and had the pleasure of reviewing their products which I know you guys will absolutely love.
First up is aimed at the guys (and gals) who are worried about being on a raw diet and losing too much bulk/muscle. Although I aim for a high raw diet, my husband, even though he advocates it, does tend to lose a great deal of weight without supplementing with protein powders/formulas.
When the author ‘Thor’ sent me out a copy to review, it was during busy Christmas time vacation and it sat on my desk for a month or two, until it caught Pat’s eye, and he devoured it in 2 days.
He shared with me some of the book, including ‘Thor’s’ workout plan for a busy father who has little time to dedicate hour long or more workouts at the gym. He also talks plenty about the best foods/juices for pre workout and post. And how to supplement to get enough protein.
You can grab your copy from Amazon for $14.95US here
Next up is the gorgeous and fellow Queenslander Jess Ainscough. Jess healed her cancer through a healthy diet and lifestyle change and is now known as The Wellness Warrior. Her latest ebook, Make Peace With Your Plate, has been selling like hotcakes. You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian (although it would be nice!) to gain from reading her book, as she doesn’t discriminate.
For those of you who have unsuccessfully battled diets for years or are looking for ways to clean up your act, Jess’ concise, easy to read ebook will help you well on your way from the basics to the more complex.
You can purchase her ebook from her website here for $19.95AUS
And lastly is another cancer survivor and inspirational speaker/blogger Polly Noble who if you haven’t checked out her beautiful website yet, go over and check it out! She has generously offered 5 lucky readers a chance to win a copy of her ebook “7 Day Kickstart – a Beginners Guide to Eating More Raw” which comes complete with a raw food plan and shopping list, perfect for those newbies or those of you stuck on where to get back on track.
Entries will close at midnight Sunday 25th March GMT and be drawn randomly and announced here on the blog on Monday.
Good luck!

Hello, i am looking to start eating more raw foods and winning a copy of this book would help me greatly. Having a idea of how to prep some food and put it all together would be awesome and inspiring:)
Thank you for offering such a lovely giveaway! I am so fortunate to have discovered your fantastic blog via “The Wellness Warrior” website. I look forward to reading the many recipes you have posted and to making them in my own kitchen. Thank goodness my nearest Whole Foods Market is only a couple of miles away because you have really inspired me
I’ve been eating higher raw, but could use a program to focus my diet. Plus, I’ve been following Polly for a while now, and I’ve tried some of the recipes on her blog, and they were yummy! {So are yours
}.
I have a list of over 100 food and food allergies/intolerance that I was diagnosed with recently. Unknowingly poisoning myself for basically my entire life has caused adrenal fatigue, Polycyctic Ovarian System, Insulin Resistance, Weight Gain, Several Hormone Imbalances, etc. I’m doing as much as I can to treat it naturally through nutrition and supplements. I have quit smoking, drinking alcohol, eating processed foods and sugar. I eat very plant based. I’m moving more and more towards raw and vegan. I think I’m doing well and I read what I can find on the internet but really I’m mostly just winging it and I’d love to have the book to try gain more information to help me avoid vitamin or protein deficiencies problems. Pleassse! I could really use the help
I would love to win a copy of Polly’s book. I have always been interested in raw foods but am now looking to help my little boy’s eczema through diet. A shopping list would be great as I have to travel a fair distance to a wholefood store and always seem to forget things (or not know what I should buy), making it a very expensive trip indeed!
Think I might need to buy my husband the raw power book too! Trying to bring him round to the idea that he can get his protein through a plant based diet.
I’d like to win it because all the recent work stress and anxiety that I haven’t been managing well has ended with me quite unwell and some bad not-whole-foods snack habits. I need to get myself back into gear! :S
I would love to have a copy of this book!! My family and myself continue to strive towards clean living and healthy eating and the more recipes the better off we are
So I can put “Polly in my Pocket” and ALWAYS have RAW ideas on hand! ;o)) & pass on the word!! x
I want to win because I have struggled with disordered eating and it will help me learn right ways!!!
I’d love to win one of these books, as I’m really starting to enjoy adding the first raw foods to my diet, and would love ideas on how to add more!
