Profile Information

About Me:
I love nature and I feel protective of its beauty.
I started with raw foods almost 2 years ago, totally inspired by a
lecture from Victoria Boutenko. The most amazing thing about eating raw is that the results you get stimulate you even further, in a very natural progression, so that you don't even care about cooked food anymore.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Inspiration, sharing, friendship
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
Pretty much all the fruits in their wholesome state, but I do have a special attraction to figs, mangos, guavas, tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, guacamole, parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, young coconut water. And it still feels quite unfair to mention the names of just a few...
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
In a random order: all forms of art and creativity; Yoga; Pranayama; reading; traveling; spending time with friends; photography; preparing food dishes; metaphysics; Vedic literature; running; hiking; walking from point A to point B; music; watching Bollywood movies; animals and animal welfare activities; plants; gardening; spending time outdoors; fresh air; mountains; the ocean
Favorite Books or Authors:
In the raw food world-Doug Graham, Victoria Boutenko; otherwise at present, I am enjoying reading Neale D. Walsch
Favorite Quote:
"So...the point and purpose of your life is to decide and to be Who You Really Are. You're doing that every day. With every action, with every thought, with every word. That's what you're doing." Neale Donald Walsch
GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : )
Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.

Oh Figseed, there is no secret to the backbend! I was born a contortionist, so I just got lucky! And thank you for the compliments, but as of yet, I know of no artist I have inspired. = )

I go by Experience..as i said 90% of the stuff people make like flax crackers are sick to me, i make very thin crisps or wraps and i feel they balance the cold wet qualities of most raw foods. I have learned through experience not to trust most of the modern raw teachers about health -in the long run. Alot of people do well in the cleansing cycle but do not know how to build manna!
Ayurveda and chinese 5 elements has helped me enormously to understand the flaws and challenges that raw foodies get..(this is not to say that i agree with most conservatives in those fields on Raw foods!)

Chaunces are spice infusions in oil - a bit more complex. Rice is done all over the raw scene...I like mine with parsnips, a little coco oil and a pinch of saffron powder and salt. Potatoes are hard. I usually stick to thin sliced soft veggies in my coconut curries...hopefully i can get this book out this year.

Nice samosas, I specialize in Gourmet Raw Indian...like to see creative Ayurvedic and indian meals..do you ever make a Chaunce?

Full disclosure - I work as a therapist. Yes, it helps. But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...

I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.

with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.

Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind. She was tough, tough, tough, tough. Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.

Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
