Theories abound about morning sickness, but no one knows the exact cause of this less than pleasant pregnancy experience. Very few women escape it all together, most experience at least some mild nausea, and another unfortunate few have their head in a toilet for the better part of their first trimester, if not longer. Regardless of its severity, there are ways to make morning sickness a little more manageablePregnant Women Go Nuts……..for Coconuts!

A day in the life of Karen Knowler
Stella Magazine, a supplemental included in UK's Sunday Telegraph, recently profiled the gorgeous Karen Knowler, and her raw diet, in a feature they did called Food Diaries.
If you've ever wondered what schedule of a happy, healthy and successful raw foodist looks like, take a look:
7am I drink a pint of water. I used to weigh 12 stone and eat anything that was put in front of me. Now I don't eat until I feel hungry. My five-year-old son has breakfast while I do his packed lunch.
9am-10am Go to the gym where I swim or work out with a personal trainer. I do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weights.11.30am I work from home and after I've checked my emails I have green juice - a blend of spinach, pineapple, apple, celery, cucumber, lemon and lime. After becoming a vegetarian, I got into raw food in 1993. My stepfather is a butcher and my family thought I was going to die! But cooked food is less nutritious because heat destroys enzymes, water, oxygen, vitamins and minerals.
Damn, we haven't even hit 1pm and Karen's already making serious moves. Click here to see how Karen spends the rest of her day

Jenna Cooked, Jenna Raw
Jenna Norwood was pretty fit when she was younger. Fit enough to have even done some modeling. But as the years passed, and her SAD diet continued, her body paid the price. Jenna didn't want to acknowledge the obvious. She continued ignored the signs until one day the signs were too big to ignore. While trying on a Las Vegas show girl costume (for a Halloween Party), Jenna finally realized just how much junk-in-the-trunk she'd been towing. It was time for change.
Jeena had a few friends who had seen pretty good results eating a primarily raw diet, so she gave it a shot. But there was an added twist. She decided to do what most people wouldn't have the courage to do. She made a no-frills, totally authentic movie about her attempt to transform.
Supercharge Me - 30 Days Raw
Almost a year ago WLIR featured Jenna's original trailer, but since we have so many new readers, we wanted to take advantage of Jenna's recently posted before/after photos to reintroduce her story.

Ani's Raw Food Kitchen get's some big time love
Via: Raw Food Right Now
A few days ago, the second most popular blog in the world, Boing Boing, featured chef Ani Phyo and all the good stuff she's been up to. Can you say "sa-weeeeeet!"
"This month, Ani's first (un)cookbook was published. If you're not hip to the raw food scene, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen will surprise you with recipes that somehow seem very familiar even if you've never eaten them before."
Yes indeed! Last week we actually featured one of those recipes, Kreamy Curry Dressing, but now were writing about Ani again just to remind you how cool she is. And, if you move quick you just might have a chance to meet her at one of her local book signings.
