Weight loss or gain is dictated by the amount of calories, not carbs in a diet. I think one of the main premises of weight loss on 811 is that it gives many people more energy to burn off more of their daily intake. Plus the volume of fruit is pre...
Right. And from what I've seen, it seems as though the variation in dietary needs seems very specific to what a person is healing from, rather than an actual anatomical difference. Whether you're eating raw meat, fermented foods, green juices, or ...
For the first time ever I haven't had any overts in over a week and it feels waaaay better than I did on 811 ratios. Just like I thought it would-it cured my 3 week long persistent migraine that was keeping me from exercise:-D
Also I'm finding I'm...
I stuck with around 90%(calorically) raw the first 9 months, became "tastarian" during culinary school, tasting chicken, bacon, breads,etc. After graduating, went 100% not tasting a thing for another 8 months, went through some stressful business ...
Taking everything in with wonder, and letting it out in a sigh of gratefulness, that feeling of knowing something big and wonderful is about to happen, witnessing transformation, magical moments of depth shared with unexpected people, experiencing more love in a single moment than I can comfortably contain, releasing it into the world through kind words, high vibes, and good intentions, creating giant nude oil pastel drawings, walking around Berkeley with no destination, theosophy, ethnobotany, eschatology, compost, carpost, roompost, bedpost, and the smell of all four, urban foraging, ayurveda, internet tanning, gardening, banned and/or censored sciences, the eight circuits of human consciousness, random adventures.
Favorite Books or Authors:
Anything by Alexander Shulgin, Alan Watts, John C Lilly, Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Aleister Crowley, Terence Mckenna, Dalton Trumbo, or William James. Oh, and The China Study, which is quite possibly the most amazing book ever written. And the Tao Te Ching. And the Bardo Thodol. And the Popol Vuh. Oh, and the Art of War by Sun Tsu, because every single line of the book applies to the social lives of humans.

AGGRESSIVENESS: Aggressiveness is the tendency to launch an unprovoked attack. It is clearly an act of hostility, and a very negative attitude. This negative attitude is what causes private fights and national wars. In most cases it is caused by w...

Hi Isabel,
I wish it were that fast and easy, and I wish I could give you a formula. Unfortunately, how long it takes each person to detox depends much less on someone's age, but rather on the intersection between the level of toxicity of the bod...

And though I would never presume to speak for Doug and what he offers, we are in a completely different ballpark.
