What do you think of Cameron Diaz talking about poop on Dr Oz?!

Do you think it's sexy? Or does it even matter?! Haha well poop is real life anyway. I love how vulnerable and open she is to talk about body things that well many people wouldn't go there... But I guess she did write "The Body Book" after all!

I love her tag line "24 hours to a better body" !!! ! 

Check out the video: http://youtu.be/BqNTSiQYUnI

In the video she also guzzles a lot of water! Hilarious haha she's like a women warrior athlete... Who now talks about poop! 

But haha she also talks about being totally cool with our own bodies! Like totally in love with our own body just the way it is, and relinquishing any guilt and confusion! Like releasing that heavy burden many women have, and just feeling better about our bodies, and then nourishing them accordingly (using recipes from my book). I think the best thing about me is my recipes. Haha that's probably been my greatest gift to the world as yet. 

Overall totally powerful message, loving Cameron Diaz and her body boldness!

And shout out to Dr Oz for using his platform to spread great healthy inspiring messages to the world! 

It's 221 days to book launch! 

I wonder when I'll be on with Dr Oz?! ;) 

This guy saying 100% raw food diet causes eating disorder

This video came up in my Youtube news feed! I thought the title was interesting and I was curious about his opinion on why a 100% raw food diet can cause eating disorders. I have learned from working with people through the years, with mentoring through The Earth Diet website, that people who want to dive in and go raw 100% become overwhelmed and unfulfilled. That's why I am not fully raw; I am 70% raw (water, vegetables, fruits, smoothies, juices, seeds, nuts) and 30% cooked including rice, beans, lentils, veggies and meat. This works for me and is a great balance. That way I am fulfilled when I eat and excited for the next meal! I think they being excited to eat is KEY and something we have lost along the way, as food can cause so many people anxiety, like it did for me years ago when food controlled me.

This guy Matt has interesting views on how being 100% raw can lead to issues:



I know for sure a good balance for me is to be majority raw, and include some cooked. I am from the outback and I love to cook things using fire, and I believe that fire is one of earth's great elements that is so good for our well being. If you are stressed because you aren't 'raw enough', I suggest adding more raw and cooked into your life and finding your own balance.

TIP: One way to get more raw into your meals is by creating a hybrid meal. A hybrid is a cooked meal and raw meal combined. For example when I make a rice stir fry or a soup, I add raw elements to it once it is done, so I serve the soup in a bowl and then I add raw cucumber, raw avocado, cilantro and parsley. Now I have had more raw!

Today, for example An example of my 70% raw and 30% cooked day from today was:

Morning: a berry smoothie (cherries, blueberries, blackberries, almond butter, honey, cacao powder, water, bee pollen) 

Next meal: a Phresh Greens drink - powdered greens in water; kale, spinach, parsley, collard greens, broccoli etc 

Next meal: A delicious fresh sweet lush pear! 

Next meal: another berry smoothie! Craving! Had it and sooo happy about it! Loaded with antioxidants! 

Next meal: chicken wings with hot sauce! Yum! 

Now as you can see I incorporated both raw and cooked into my Earth Diet today! There is no use depriving ourself since eating delicious food is such a fun experience to have! My new book has soooo many variations for raw and cooked foods! 

I also drank lots of water and green tea throughout the day. And I had a glass of diatomaceous earth. 

The last thing I want to do when going to be is be starving and unfulfilled! I am seeing more and more that people are successful with their health when they eat what they crave, but with one rule, make sure it's as clean as possible - and ultimately only using ingredients that earth naturally provides! 

I will leave with saying choose what you want to eat, and then source it as natural as possible! 

It is the first day of spring today and 222 days to book launch!

Whole30 Recipe // Mango Fruit Leather


Taking a stab at homemade mango fruit leather, I will let you know how it goes because this is a rookie attempt! Recipe was easy, used a food processor to puree 2 mangos, spread mixture evenly on parchment paper, bake at 175° for 4 hours! 

Edit: I think next time I try this I will coat my parchment with coconut oil, it was a bit sticky.

There is a positive and negative to everything

Hey guys, so this past week I was mentoring a client of mine, who I obviously happen to care deeply about! She has been so negative lately on herself. I had to point out the incredible action she has done since committing to living The Earth Diet lifestyle! She has lost weight and her health has improved overall - but it is not good enough - for her! 

***I talk about my client like this because I have permission to do so. My clients name is Debbie and she has started her own blog which she does every day! She is determined to save her life as she is obese, has heart disease and diabetes. Debbie wants to live the rest of her life as healthy as she can. She is so inspiring, her blog is www.EarthDietblogs.com/DebbieSavesHerLife 

So Be assured when you email me health questions that they remain private unless you give permission to share them online. 

So as we were speaking I pointed out that the mind/ego may never be satisfied and that we need to train it to be. We need to celebrate milestones and not be so hard on ourselves. 

We must do the things we know that will make us feel better and be healthier, and then appreciate ourselves once we have done it.

Life is not always fun and exciting and happy. Life can also be dark, and so so painful. Everyone experiences it. Just like the light and dark experience of life, we also experience positive and negative thoughts! 

For example, if there is a negative thought like "You have totally wasted your life, you are 40 years old and 20 pounds overweight." The positive thought to this could be "I am grateful that I can walk and breathe and talk FREELY for if I were in hospital on a breathing machine that would be much harder. I am grateful I have a new opportunity to lose weight - and feel better for the rest of my life - and I have hundreds of Earth Diet recipes to assist with that haha!!!" 

When we get stuck in a negative thought it is very hard to move forward or feel better. When stuck in negativity just acknowledge that's what is happening and know it will pass. 

There is a solution to everything. 

Here is a great affirmation by Louise Hay. 


I suggested my client dance for at least 5 minutes everyday, as by the end of the week that is a total of 35 minutes of exercise and feeling good.

Nutrition wise I suggested she drink more fluids like juice and smoothies to assist her body in absorbing high amounts of nutrition with every meal!

Debbie is such an inspiration to me and others! At 60 she did not give up on her life, she is determined to lose weight, heal her heart and improve her diabetes so she can enjoy the rest of her life with joy, and more positive then negative thoughts. 

What do you think... At what percentage should we think positive thoughts and what percentage of negative thoughts? 50% / 50% 

On the one hand, life is so exciting tomorrow I am going to make delicious chicken wings and then there is brown rice pasta oh boy good healthy foods excite me, but on the other hand can this life experience be over already? I'd like to be star dust already! Haha! 

The point is whenever we have a negative thought and then get stuck in it we can explore what the positive thought is, remember there is always an opposite, so we have a choice where to dwell! 

Positive thoughts make a really really healthy body whereas negative thoughts create a tired, drained, acidic body where if untreated for a long period of time can lead to diseases of any kind.

Treat yourself with more positive thoughts everyday, find your balance where you are fulfilled with life, and make sure to get loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of nutrition! 

Obviously when we put good stuff into our bodies, life is going to be easier, there will be more joy and lightness, and positive thoughts flow easier! 

"Good food and good thoughts is good medicine!" That is in my new book! 

Love Liana !

Whole30 // Before & After


November to this morning (Mid March) this is my "something is better then nothing" pic. I still have a lot of work to do, and I haven't been 100% with my clean eating but MOST of the time I choose clean, whole foods. Whole30 changed my mindset and it's always on my brain, encouraging me to make healthier decisions. All you guys who are too scared of the strict rules, at least start somewhere!  I hate posting these, but I love seeing them, so crazy motivating!
