Storm is a 54 year old man who appears to be in his 30's. Gravity doesn't seem to exist on planet Storm. His face is smooth and his body is muscular and lean. Muscular (rather than just lean) is unusual on a raw-vegan, a person who eats only un-cooked vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruits. Muscular is one of the reasons why Storm and his retreats are well known in the raw foods movement. It doesn't hurt that Storm is one of the oldest raw foodists in the movement, and that he has been a raw-vegan for over 30 years.
Storm's raw foods retreats don't just teach you how to shop for and prepare raw foods, but they also teach Storm's own workout regimen "The Circular Workout". The workout was designed by Storm to develop a balanced muscular system through working with the body's own weight.
Storm claims his success with the raw foods diet is based on a combination of exercise and creating tasty yet healthy recipes. "A lot of raw foods recipes aren't all that healthy. Once you start dehydrating foods you are just looking at another form of lifeless food, even though they call it raw" says Storm. "The other extreme is a raw diet that is all based on eating for health with no attention to how the food tastes. I never feel deprived. You can create recipes that taste more delicious than cooked foods and yet they are totally nourishing and free of toxins".
But Storm's retreats are intense. From Friday at noon until Monday at noon you prepare and eat only 100% organic fresh raw vegan foods and you work out for several hours a day. For only $100 a night, the price of a basic hotel, you get to relax in a hidden mountain valley in the national forest North-East of Los Angeles, California, and eat "the highest food on the planet" according to Storm. People who come to the retreats often stay "raw for life", lose weight, rejuvenate, heal body, mind and spirit, and develop a new physique.
The raw foods craze has taken off in Hollywood with celebrities such as Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone, Donna Karan, Sting, Daryl Hannah, Madonna, Lou Reed, Danny Glover, David Duchovny and Carol Alt adopting the diet.
Storm's retreat at "The Castle in the Woods" in Pine Mountain Club just an hour and a half from Los Angeles offers a new option for a super-quick-get-in-shape retreat that is likely to change your habits for good!
