Profile Information
- About Me:
- I work in customer service. My total lack of physical activity and poor diet have led me to consider an all-American intervention before I leave this world on an untimely trip. I'm looking for something that makes sense and will actually help me feel better.
- How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
- I just entered the arena of raw foods after having bought a couple books and deciding it makes sense that cooking all the life out of things isn't good for our health. Any kind of support would be helpful. I am a person with bad habits when it comes to time management and meal preparation, which is why the toxic convenience foods have been winning so far.
- Relationship Status:
- Married
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- don't know yet.
- Interests (outside of Raw Food):
- Art, Writing, Design, computers, and science.
- Favorite Books or Authors:
- Unlimited Power, by Tony Robbins
- Favorite Quote:
- “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
- 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.

Now that I think of it, is there a green that is more bitter than I need to be aware of as far as needing maybe a little more fruit or something to cut the taste like a lemon or something?
Yeah that's awesome actually! Thank you! I really have no idea what to start with other than obviously the books have in the recipes. I'm gonna write this down and look up what this stuff is... Thanks again, Haley!
Yep! I can remember a time when a french fry was what passed for a veggy. I think to some degree society is still that way, but thanks to pioneers like yourselves, the truth is being brought back and finally people are starting to get shaken back ...

Educating myself on Raw foods lifestyle/Partial Review of "The Complete Book of Raw Food."
> Ok so I am pretty much sold on the idea that raw foods are the way to go. I am reading "The Complete Book of Raw Food," and I thought at first it was only a recipe book, which it does have an enormous list. I was pleasantly surprised to see a part in the beginning where it talks about "Why raw food," and then gives a primer pretty much on what is entailed to the complete newbie like me.

Road to a new self balance?
****Until now, I have completely neglected my body. I can't say that I didn't know better, at least logically speaking. I have never been thin, although I lost a lot of weight for a short time in college because I walked everywhere that I wanted to go and was girl-chasing. Emotionally… Continue

~♥Alicia♥~ said… - I have found that I build the most muscle during juice feasting and eating close to 80-10-10! My energy remains high and I can work out very hard! Plus my body fast stays low so you can actually see the muscle I build! I have the added benefit of my mood always being great when I eat this way! I have been vegetarian my whole adult life and vegan for the last several years! And raw the last (consistently) the last year and a half! It was during raw that I have seen my greatest improvements!

- Welcome Marc! It's a pleasure to have you here with us.
Unlimited Power was one of the first books on personal development that I read. It was a big part of transformation.

How long did 50lbs last you? A week? I would recommend that a person get some greens to go along with their bananas.. did you forage for any greens that week?
Wow Id like to hear more on this from other people as well. I am not sure where to get info on things like this either- I just know my personal experience with a low carb diet. I still believe in low carb for the most part but plant based live foo...
That is a good point Angus. I have found that a lot of fundamentalist religions accuse everyone else of worshiping the devil and it like a blind hysteria- like all these other people have a black bible in their house and secretely worship a statue...
That's brilliant Angus, thanks....this will keep me busy for a while :)

Yeah really that was just my negative response to Arnold Ehret's book from an emotional standpoint. I just found it lacking in completion. There's good logic in it though.
First there'sDr . J. Tilden's book on the cause of disease. Toxemia Explai...

What other book can you recommend Angus?...staying with those kinda ideas, living in alignment with nature, natural hygiene, fruit diets, fasting (or anyone else :).
You know, I'm aware that we made some groundbreaking discoveries in recent years ...
I'm not going to comment on climate change. But i will comment on carbon trading. Because they can produce such a consciousness of fear out of global warming - they are able to manipulate markets much more severely - and they seem to get away with...
