Who is Miss Raw Diva? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tanya Ortiz, I'm 33 years
young and I live in Williamsport,MD.
In September 06 I was disgusted by the way that I looked in the mirror. I was at a bridal shop trying on dresses preparing
for my June Wedding when I realized I did not want to walk down the isle at 5'1" weighing 165 lbs at a size 12/14!
I knew the definition of insanity was doing the same thing and expecting different results. I had tried every diet possible
with little-to-no results. I knew that if I wanted different results that I had to change my life style. I realized that
I did not want to walk down the isle looking the way I did.
I then began to search on the net about eating. That is when I stumbled across information about the raw vegan diet. I
began to read every book I could get my hands on about the raw food vegan lifestyle. After all that reading I signed up for
a class with a Doctor who was a trained professional. I began a new chapter in my life and knew this was the path for me to
take!
I started trying different recipes and I realized that raw food was not only about enjoying delicious organic fruits, vegetables,
nuts and berries but that I could also enjoy treats like chocolate brownies and raw ice cream everyday and I
was still losing weight - going from a 12/14 to a size 6! This made me feel absolutely incredible! Plus, I began to
gain more energy, my skin cleared up, and my hair looked healthier! I actually began to look younger...WOW!! I know
now that this is the lifestyle for me!!
After reading many books, fixing many raw recipes and taking a raw food certification chef/instructor class I now teach and support others that want to be on the raw vegan journey. This is my passion in life... to spread the word to as many people that I can about
discovering what I consider being the FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH! The body will heal itself! This is not just about weightloss, but
about living life with optimum health full of vitality! It can be found in food. Live food equals a LIVE body and DEAD FOOD
equals a DEAD BODY. How can you eat dead food and expect a vibrant body? If you want to lose weight, be healthier, eat DELICIOUS
food, and be more beautiful just follow the raw food diet. Check out my "Services" page for more info on how I can help you!
