Ha! Do you like my title?? Bet you wanted to read what I was talking about, didn’t you?? I mean, who doesn’t want to be sexy? I think that sexy is so much more than slapping on nice makeup and heels. It has to build from within. And that starts on the cellular level with providing our cells with optimal mineralization to build strength and vitality and magnetism…
Sexy, attractive, magnetic people are healthy-looking and strong. We are programmed from the beginning of mankind, from the time of our ancient ancestors, to be attracted to a potential partner of the opposite sex that would be a good carrier and producer of our offspring. ( This is in a general sense- I know that many people choose to live very happy, healthy lives and don’t want to actually have children or opt to adopt instead of having their own, which is great. So don’t take this tooooo literally…. bear with me!) For women, that translates into a curvy differentiation between the waist and hips (to translate into being able to bear children), healthy hair (which implies mineralization, being a strong, healthy mate), and glowing skin. That is why I think ultimately and overall, strong, curvy and healthy women are much more attractive than girls that don’t eat!!
So let’s get down to foods that help burn fat. We truly are what we eat- and the energy of the food we eat will get assimilated into the cells of our body, where it will become part of OUR energy, and the energy we radiate out into the universe and what all other people that cross our path sense and feel, whether they realize it cognitively or not. That is why people that eat more raw, living plant food, grown in abundance right in the earth, are more magnetic and glowing than those that eat the flesh of dead animals (Eeeewwww). I mean sorry, but look at fresh luscious spinach, healthy as can be and bursting with life force. Would you rather that be part of your constitutional makeup or a piece of dead pink salmon- that has been plucked from the sea, probably suffocated to a slow, horrible death, and plunks on your plate where its dead-energy muscles are going to make up your lunch?? It is not living anymore – it is dead in every possible sense of the word. I mean yucky yucky yuck.
But I didn’t want to go on a vegetarian rant today! I wanted to talk to you about fruit! And in particular seeded vs. seedless fruit. Fruit is an amazing gift from the earth, and so full of life force that the great yogi Yogananda says that it should be the first thing you eat after you meditate, to support your prana and life force swirling through your body.
The very definition of a fruit is that it bears its own seed (that’s why tomatoes and avocados are really fruits!). These seeds have the DNA programmed in them to become huge trees or plants. Seeded fruits are ripe, pregnant with fertility, and the potential to reproduce. Oooohhh- isn’t that sexy??? ☺ So when we eat seeded, natural fruit, we TOO can take in the energy of that fruit, which is bursting with life force and reproduction capabilities, and increase our own magnetism. Now this is true for women of all ages- it doesn’t matter if you’ve passed menopause or not! Don’t take it too literally, remember I am talking about energy and radiance. Some of my favorite fruits are avocados, durian, cherries, apples, pears (well seemingly everyday and boring but great staples!!), lemons, papayas, blueberries, Acai, Goji berries, etc. etc.
No nothing is more sad to me than when I see a sign for “Seedless Watermelon” or “Seedless Grapes” at the grocery store. Do you know what those poor inert pseudo-fruit beings are??? They are HYBRIDIZED. It means that their genetic makeup has been tampered with by scientists in a lab to produce strains that would sell well commercially (Scientist, “Yes, let’s make seedless grapes, because people are too lazy to pick out the little seeds and then we’ll be able to sell tons of them!”). Scientists have engineered a way to make these hybrid fruits lack a double set of chromosomes in their reproductive cells. So it means that these fruits can no longer reproduce- they don’t have seeds!!! And that defies the very definition of what a fruit is in the first place. And that is SO not sexy. Hybrid fruit is so unnatural and is also much higher in sugar and lower in minerals. And that is not helping our sexiness factor either.
So to feel and be more sexy from within, always go for the natural, organic varieties of fruits which have not been tampered with and DO bear their own seeds. I relish in picking out about 12 seeds from each of my lemons before squeezing it onto my salads. I would much rather take the 30 seconds to do that and know that I am getting the freshest, best lemon juice on the planet, from a living, sexy fruit!!!
Have an awesome Memorial Day! Yay, for the beginning of summer. I’ll talk to you at the end of the weekend you sexy thaaaaaang. 🙂
All my very best,

When will your yoga DVD be available? I am chomping at the bit!
Hey Dorothy-
Eek. Everything takes soooooooo much longer than you think, you know?? I have finished a lot of the voiceover stuff, so we are working on pulling it all together. Soon, I hope- but I can’t give you an exact day..but trust me I am pushing it with our team. 🙂
Yoga should be out in the world as much as possible, and for everyone!!!
Please keep in touch with me.
Have a great weekend.
Lots of love,
Kimberly
Thanks for the update, Kimberly.
I am not sure if you go into this anywhere, but what are your thoughts on supplements and do you take any? If you do, what do you take and why? Thanks again. Looking forward to the Yoga DVD!
Hey Dorothy!
Awesome!!! I can’t wait until you get The Solution!! You and your skin will love it and will just look bright and radiant. 🙂
I don’t advocate taking synthetic, isolated supplements (like Vitamin E, Zinc, etc)- as the body will absorb the nutrients better from wholefood sources. Supplements are a very interesting and complex topic, and I will be going into them and talking about them in much more detail over the next few months! So stay tuned!! In the meantime, try to have your greens every day and the Green Smoothie!
And yay, I am excited about the yoga DVD also. 🙂
Hope you had a great Memorial Day!
Please keep in touch with me on how you do.
All my very best,
Kimberly
Thanks, Kimberly. I look forward to reading about the supplements in the next few months! I’ll let you know how I get on with The Solution!
Great Dorothy!! Get ready for your skin to GLOW!! 🙂
Yay! Love, Kimberly
Kim, I have a little problem, I love eating healthy and it’s what I aspire to do…but i’m already so skinny haha…i don’t want to lose any more…and i fear that if i stop or rather start eating a lot more greens, fruits, untop of what i do eat now…and cut out the other bad stuff, i wud get stick thin, when right now i’m trying to get some pounds on my butt and thighs 🙁 what do i do?
Hey Charlene-
You should focus on getting more raw plant fat and protein into your diet! Being healthy doesn’t mean just having greens and fruit. Coconuts, coconut oil, avocados, seeds, nuts, raw hemp protein (if you have access to it), nutritional yeast, olive oil, flax oil…these things should be a big part of your diet. If you are losing weight, shift your percentage of eating these foods higher.
Lots of love!
Kimberly
thank you ever so much….that was gettingtruly amazing information for free…thanks a lot Kim!I already love avocados as much as you do but they’re not in season now…maybe if i go to a farmers market i can find some. thanks again 🙂
Great Charlene!! I know things aren’t as easy to get maybe in Jamaica, but hopefully yes, the farmer’s market can be useful. Or online!

Hi Kim,
To keep those lucious lemon seeds our of your salads and beverages, try cutting in half and squeezing them through cheese-cloth. All the precious juice gets through and the seeds stay out. You can reuse the cloth too!
Great blog! See you in class.
Hi Sam, that is a cool idea with the cheese cloth! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I have cheese cloths because I sue them to make almond milk!
xx Kimberly
Amen Sister!
Thanks for that! 🙂 I’m going on month 3 and feel AMAZING! One thing though……I’m going on vacation for 2 weeks with a lot of family who are meat, dairy, fried-food eating folks. I’m dreading the questions and judgement and worried about how I’ll be able to stick to living foods. They basically don’t even understand why I pay more for organic! That’s what I’m dealing with!
Any suggestions?
Hi Leah!
Ahh, the family question. I think people generally respond better if you reply to their questions by focusing on yourself and your feelings/experiences= rather than “preaching” to them. People get really defensive if they feel that you are criticizing how they eat (even if you really aren’t). It probably stems from them knowing deep down that they ARE not eating the best and feeding themselves the best foods. And no one can really say anything about your feelings – because they are yours!!
So if your family asks you why you are eating that way, you can say something simple like, “I feel the best when I eat this way!” Or, “Eating this way really works the best for me and my body. I have more energy, and just feel awesome. It just works for me.” “I also choose to buy organic because their practices are better for the environment, and I like supporting local, smaller farmers. I like spending my money on that!”
Again, what can anyone say to that!!!
Let me know how you do! Good luck and keep in touch.
All my very best,
Kimberly
Hi Kim! Awesome post and killer body! Now that is inspiration!
Ha, thanks Melanie! I’m smiling because I eat good food- not crap though. 🙂
Anyone can have their best body ever by eating the best!!!
Lots of love, Kimberly
Since becoming vegan, I’ve noticed that I’ve started to get boils on my legs. I’ve been eating raw food for a few months now, and I’ve heard that it might be from malnutrition. Any advice?
Hi Lynn,
Boils could certainly be a sign of malnutrition! Though if you’re not sure and they just popped up mysteriously, you should see your doctor.
Vegetarians, vegans, AND raw foodists alike could all still be very much malnourished- and many of them are what I call, “starchaholics.” They consume primarily grains and starches, or for raw foodists, simply do NOT get enough greens!! I have had people tell me that their boils went away completely when they started having the Green Smoothie every single day. It alkalizes the body and cleanses it, and seems to help with such a wide array of things. You pack in a huge amount of greens in one simple drink. So if you aren’t already doing that, I highly suggest trying it out!
Let me know how you do- Please keep in touch.
All my very best,
Kimberly
Hi! Great Blog!
This post got me confused… are ORGANIC seedless grapes hybrids???
Hi Jamie,
Yes, there are now organic varieties of seedless grapes and seedless watermelons, etc. If you can get your hands on the organic, seedED varieties that is the closest to the heirloom, natural states of these fruits- and the most sexy. 🙂
If you really can’t find them (depending on where you live), at least you are eating organic, and you are way ahead that way.
xx Kimberly
thank you 🙂
I work in a cold factory where I do repetitive work. Do you have any tips for staying healthy while working there?
