Not just raw, BEST WEIGH RAW!
The best blend of taste and nutrition you ever had!
Seamless Integration of RAW Food into your life
The biggest and best kept Raw Secret in the world is that the true doctor of the future is the chef of the future.
The First Supper classes and initial food plan create seamless integration. The seemingly daunting science and facilitation of raw food wellness is now easy. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are so incredibly satisfying that you never have any cravings. Our clients agree, it only takes a few days to start seeing and feeling significant health results that will bewilder doctors, baffle nutritionists and make natural doctors want to become raw chefs and throw out their supplements.
The health crisis solved. Our results are irrefutable.
Not just incredibly delicious food, but un-matched wellness results!
Chris started eating
95% raw in 1999 and have been a 100% "raw foodist" since 200. I share
my food prep, wellness, nutrition and fitness experience with others in
special classes, counseling, in-home and dinner parties. The myths
associated with protein, calcium, vitamin content, organic, high fruit,
greens, starchy vegetables, different percentages of carbohydrate/
protein/ fats and more are totally crushed, explained and solved in a
timely and practical manner when I get started. I can't help but smash
myths! They are so weak, academically, historically and practically!
Nobody can argue with results, and I have devoted the last three
decades to enlightening those who are ready to leave the dark cave of
brainwashing and experience the essence of raw wellness, efficient
fitness and nutritionally sustainable environmental excellence!
This is achieved by education, inspiration, but most importantly- the
food must be eaten every single day. No matter how much people go to
lectures, read books, follow "gurus" etc, it all comes down to the
food. Talk is cheap. It is the food that does the job. I urge you to
try my food plan, have a dinner party prepared by myself and my team,
attend classes and you will see that this is clearly the solution to
any health crisis.
Chris is Best Weigh creator and founder of The First Supper. He built his genetically poor body up from a skin and bone 133 lb. frame at six ft. tall against all odds including a debilitating auto crash. 35 years of trial and error taught him practical fitness. Physiological cornerstones such as Specificity, Overload, Progression and Regularity, for example, are hardly ever mentioned in any best-selling fitness books or popular health and fitness magazines. It's the same with nutrition "education". Chris corrects the myths and shares with you the genuine legends. More importantly, he does not just talk. He facilitates. Like and enzyme he WORKS.
Imagine Chris' glee when The China Study was published, the story behind The China Project headed by the world's most accomplished and honest food scientist, T. Colin Campbell. He was ecstatic since he had been hailing his incredible work for decades and teaching it in a practical sense as the rest of his community ignored with skepticism as they got sicker and sicker. Of course, they could not deny the incredible health results that Chris' clients were getting... Fast forward to raw. Compared to simply plant-based nutrition, which is universally accepted as a major prerequisite for basic human health, fresh whole raw plant-based foods will bring you to true wellness and performance that is so significant that you can measure it in bushels. Unlike the pitifully tiny results in lowering cholesterol that drugs or supplements achieve, for example, this diet lowers cholesterol in most cases significantly more. Not to mention that all drugs have dangerous side effects (aka poisoning) and create worse problems than they "treat". For 35 years, Chris has been demonstrating that drugs are poison, supplements are useless, and the best way to health is by self healing. His Best Weigh Center For Ultimate Health actually facilitates this, the most important life process.
"Health Talk" is one thing.
Creating food that facilitates genuine health is another.

| Chris has facilitated and achieved what most only dream about- 100% perfect health AND amazing taste, texture and variety. How did he do it? For 30 years he has worked in the trenches of professional fitness, bodybuilding, and nutrition, owning three of his own fitness and wellness centers since 1985, and training others since 1978. Chris' program of EDUCATION, MOTIVATION, and most importantly, FACILITATION goes far beyond the popular call of duty. His seminars, workshops and private in-home or in-institution FOOD EVENTS OF THE MILLENNIUM (Trademarked) have helped hundreds of people change their lives positively more than any other method. Before the phrase "life-coach" was even part of the vernacular, he was taking people of all ages and health histories and showing them how to heal themselves with PROPER food and PROPER fitness. He has discovered that the secret is in the food-- but not just in KNOWING but in having it every day. That is why is the first on Long Island to put in the tremendous effort and time to make sure that his clients can eat the best way every day!

| You Too Can End Food Cravings Once And For All |
| Automatic Behavior Modification- no psychiatrist needed! THE BEST RESULTS ARE BUILT IN TO YOUR DIET! |
Shown above: Chris' special 100% RAW burger (Even the pictures he uses for this site are all his own creations that he made and photographed himself. He does things right- from scratch and from the bottom up!
Note: Most people think that they need to alter their thoughts to help them lose weight, or eliminate food cravings, for example. Sometimes psychological counseling may be indicated, but only very rarely! The BEST way is to enjoy AUTOMATIC APPETITE Suppression and automatic elimination of cravings by simply changing your diet to The Best Weigh Raw Diet. It works every time. Results are 100% typical, even for those who are meat eaters or heavy cooked food or junk eaters. How can this be? Simple! The chemical changes that caused cravings in your brain to begin with are altered most significantly and positively NOT by outside counseling, but mostly by INNER dopamine corrections which are the automatic and NATURAL RESULT of the proper diet for the first time in a person's life. Few have ever tried a raw diet long enough for this to happen, but with THE BEST WEIGH RAW diet, it is virtually guaranteed.

The best way to get started is to attend our special class. It is the most valuable two days that you will ever enjoy. I wish I had a class like this when I first started "going raw". It would have saved me at least five years of hardship.
The First Supper Raw Class is the best way for any serious person to get immediate and complete benefits from the raw diet. Most people have trouble going raw. I did when I first started in 1999. I can save you years of hardship and "food cravings" with this special course. It is more than just a food class; it is a complete "I want to get started now and have enough food choices to last a year so I don't get bored" experience! Beginners and advanced wellness-aware people are comfortable in this class. The knowledge, experience and skills that you will glean from my' ten year raw food prep services and 30 years of educational seminars at The Best Weigh Center For Ultimate Health will help you forever. - Chris Califano, P.F.S. lic IHC ten-year raw foodist, founder of The Best Weigh Center For Ultimate Health
