I'm currently working as a sales manager for an office products business, saving to go travelling by the end of the year.
My interest in nutrition started when I was teaching and training martial arts full time about 10 years ago, looking for a way to improve strength, stamina and health. I studied nutrition for a year after I gave up teaching- I never did finish the course though, but continued an interest in nutrition, reading and experimenting with various diets.
I started experimenting with vegan/raw vegan lifestyle about 12 months ago- despite feeling so good eating this way, I've slipped back to cooked food. Hopefully joining this community will help me get back on track again. I have tried many diets in the pursuit of optimum health and well being and nothing has come close to raw!
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
I'm fairly new to this, so any advice from some veterans would be appreciated! Especially how to survive eating-out with family and friends and staying raw

Hi Jason, I've moved up to the Sunshine Coast about 3-4 months ago, I love it here however I'm still doing the commting gig to Brisbane everyday for work until I can secure something this way.
So far I've had 3-4 people interested, I've only just started putting this out to groups etc, like yesterday so time will tell. Im looking at holding these once a month, probably more to help with the transition phase and to surround myself with health orientated people. If you know if anyone else who lives up this way and would be interested in coming along let them know. Look forward to meeting you Sharon

Hi Jason!
Good timing! I just got out of the temple today after staying there for 2 weeks. I don't have time right now to answer your questions, so I will have to get back to you in the next few days. For now, I have to meet a few old friends in Chiang Mai, and plan the next stage of my trip. So, what are you heading to Japan for? I live and work in Tokyo and will be returning at the begining of April.
We dont want organic pasteurized, that is the same as conventional to us. Its been treated with something to kill it because that it what people do kill beautiful things it seems. Dead people.
Hi Jeff,
Every organism is completely self-healing. When sick or badly injured enough, every species will lie down and rest completely. Fasting itself has no curative power, but when we stop processing food (the single most energy expensive proce...
OMG
steamed? I needed a nutcracker to open them and it was really hard to get them opened. You think? My pristine lips touched something that was steamed>??
My grandmother turned me on to this one.
What about that little rock poppy segment in the middle that doesnt quite fit in with the rest of it?
Its beautiful though, 80's ruled the world of great sappy songs.
Writing is very healing for me. It brings out my soul and allows it to shine. Writing is beneficial in many ways. I will write more about this later. =)
