The stores here would want to know that the food was manufactured in a commercial kitchen which would cost thousands of dollars per month to lease. You could share a commercial kitchen with someone else (hopefully raw too) to cut down costs.

About Me:
Fell off the raw path as of late. Not really sure what is it my future. When I moved to LA I didn't have a support group like I wanted and went back to cooked food. The difference I feel being raw as compared to being cooked is very hard to put into words. I was close to 80/10/10 for 5 months. The more stressed my mind was the harder it became to stay the course. As of now...learning a new job, being in a new city, and meeting new friends, the last thing I want to do is alienate myself by being raw. I'm young and would like to find a woman I can spend some time really getting to know. There aren't too many raw vegans out there to meet even in what I thought was the raw vegan capital of the world. Everything would have to be just right for me to get back to raw. A raw social group is #1, and not just a website...I would still like to get to know you. Lets talk RAW. Tell me how you are doing. What are your challenges? Now that I am not raw I have been thinking a lot about beliefs and hopes that kept me raw and what I gave up when I was raw. Very enlightening experience no doubt.

First Blog

Well, what can I say? This is my first blog and I'm not sure what its supposed to be like. I would like this blog to be something that people will read and think, "Wow, this guy is really insightful, I feel connected to him and like I have learned a lot." I guess all I can want is you to keep reading, give me feedback and if it is good take it with you on your raw food journey.
Since this is a raw food community site it might be good to start with what raw food means to me. Raw food has become a… Continue

Now I remember that Friday does not work at all... so Saturday after 8pm or Sunday. Or another time, that would be fine too. Do you know anyone else who might want to go?

It can definitely be difficult to deal with the inconvenience and detox of such a pure diet. I had the advantage of a lot of past experience with strict diets for health reasons - I learned how to cope with it as a teenager. So I understand - also, everyone's journey is different. Maybe we should get a group together for this weekend at Au Lac - I think that Friday and Sunday are free for me, plus after 8pm on Saturday.

I battled with some health issues for years - tried a number of different diets without much success. Then about 16 months ago I stopped wanting to eat all of my old favorite things. I lost my appetite for all animal products and cooked food. Once I figured out that my body was craving raw plant food I felt an incredible relief... I literally went 100% raw the next morning and never regretted it. At that point I did not know very much about the health benefits - it was simply what my body seemed to want. What about you?

Thanks for watching my video! I have really understood what fried foods can do. I can't believe how much awareness food can bring! :) I am glad we are on the same page!

I know, I'm not really beating myself too much about it. Right now I know that I'm not eating IDEALLY but I'm still a LOOTTT closer than I was at this time last year so I figure it's all about the journey. I know I could reap amazing benefits if I were to live an 811 lifestyle though. I've never been able to keep an exercise routine which I KNOWWW I need to figure out a way to do. I just don't know where to start on that one. I'll keep to it for a few weeks and then I'll fall off, no matter what it is. I'm also drinking lots of green smoothies and eating a bunch of fruit and I feel good, I just really intuitively that I would be doing better on 811. I want to do a 30 day green smoothie feast at some point. It might be a fun thing to do as a New Years resolution. I agree about how inspiring the book is. Doesn't it seem to just make the perfect sense?

haha, i've been a bad 811er. i was in the city this weekend and i ate at cafe gratitude for dinner last night...let's just put it that way. after reading what dr. g has to say i really do believe that that's the best way for humans to eat but right now i don't think i'm quite ready for it. it's a journey though and i'm definitely on my way. i've uped my fruit intake a lot and lowered my fat. i'm also incorporating more greens so that's a start. how are you doing?
At 8:19am on October 21, 2008, Nicole said…
Yes and No...lol..Yes I'd love to go to Au Lac sometime soon and No I don't know of any wholesale places...I usually try to shop at the farmer's markets as much as I can. Maybe if you post a message about it on the board someone would know! I live in Sherman Oaks. : )

P.S. I have a hard time sleeping without some nightcap food too. I was addicted to bananas and almond butter before bed, but I'm trying to phase it out by freezing bananas in the morning and then making raw ice cream at night.

hi stacey, I was doing Hatha Yoga, that involves asanas, prayanama, bandha and mudras. Apart from yoga we were taught Anatomy, Psychology, Philosophy etc., so that the students of this course could teach yoga and take it as a profession later.
