No worries Mukesh, I will send the draft now. :D
Just be aware, it IS a draft, and a work in progress. I'm a bit busy with organising some major events for my local vegetarian organisation and writing up some articles (one on getting kids to drin...
Hi Silverfire
It is amazing and inspiring to see you have actually done it. Great. I would love to read the draft you mentioned, please send to mmukesh@gmail.com and the presentation is just wonderful. Now I have a clear idea of what I am doing! ...
Lemoned: That is a very good habit. I recall my parents insisted on us when we were growing up and I have seen myself a great difference to start the day with a glass of water. Thanks for the suggestion! I think this will be the first slide!
Wow, good on you!
I have so many ideas on this topic as it's a passion of mine and I do demonstrations to kids on fresh food and eating healthy.
The one thing I notice kids respond to really well is colourful pictures of fresh food, I'd include ...
One idea popped into my mind which isn't really food related but my kids really benefit from drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning. Compared to other things I've tried to explain to them, this one really was easy for them to underst...
Hello
My friend and I are preparing a presentation for Indian children (0-15 years) on good food habits. Eventually we intend to distribute it to the schools. I would like to include more of raw vegetables and fruits in the presentation. We are s...
Oh, I was also thinking of slogans for placards.
"My boyfriend's six pack is 100% Plant Protein"
"My veggie boyfriend makes better sex"
"I support Local Farmers!"
"My doctor prescribed me fruits and vegetables!"
"My boyfriend says vegetables...

After 100 days
It has been over hundred days on my attempt at being raw: in over 300 meals, I had 5 cooked meals, 3 coffees, 10 teas, 6 samosas, and 2 liquor times. These exceptions were my weak moments against cravings and social pressures. In these instances, I thought I would feel satisfied but mostly I ended up with nausea, stomach upset and throwing up (except for tea!). This is strange because before I went "99.xx"% raw, during my transition stage of 3-4 months, I was doing 2 meals (breakfast and lunch)… Continue

Happy Raw 2009!
This felt like a second coming out to my parents, that I am will be having raw foods from the New Year on. Surprise! They gave their blessings for me. Even more interesting is that my father had tried to be a raw foodist in India during 1980's. I vaguely remember my father asking us to eat carrots, cauliflower and spinach all fresh but we thought he was crazy. Nothing else came from my parents so easy with their blessings! My friends are enthusiastic and supportive of my choice. A few of them ar… Continue

Figseed said… - Hey Mukesh,
do you want to go to the raw potluck this Sunday(5.00pm-7.00pm).
Manu said they can come and pick us up from the train station.
We have to call and reserve, because they have room only for 22 people.
The theme will be 'green dishes'.

Karma said… - I hear you. It gets easier the more you do it. I found that your mind finally catches up with your body on wanting to feel good always. I'm day 6 on my juice fast today and dreaming of cacao nibs. Ha! Couldn't eat them anyway as my teeth are sensitive from cleansing mode. Oh well. I'll dream on. Enjoy your "juicy" weekend. ;-)

Hello Rene,
With differing health opinions out there, I find it difficult to decide which health choices are best for my family. However, I do feel blessed I came across the R...
Hi Lee, I agree with you in many ways and would have said an unreserved yes to your statement before I tried raw vegan eating. Maybe it is different for different people, but I have been totally surprised at how much what I eat has been affecting ...
Soaking might help, I really don't know for sure. My father eats soaked dried chestnuts. The dried ones are really hard and they get a little bit softer when soaking them, but they are'nt as sweet soaked.
Same. Past girlfriends tell me I smell like fruit. Can't imagine why...
recently i have come to believe i may (not fully sure) have candida. mainly for the following reasons: after any cooked meal that is high in startches like say risotto the next day my head is so fuzzy and i think it may be even hungover or drunk. ...
I'm sorry I eat cooked food...lol. I just come here for nutrition info and the company of you wonderful people!
PARSLEY!!!! MINT!!!!!
This is what my mom recommends too. The thing is I live in a high-rise building in NYC, so I'm definetely not "grounded".
The grounding bed technology makes sense, but it doesn't feel natural to me. Has anyone tried it? Did you notice any changes...
So here is the deal... I have been running since Jan 2009 and doing this 8/1/1 thing (trying to be 100% but not yet) I am running in the California International Marathon Dec 6th and training is going fine running 2 to 4 times off and on a week fo...
Such a handsome boy.
thanks funny man!
Without fruit:
Bell pepper juice (very colorful and festive... red, orange, yellow)
Jicama juice (sweet milky)
Carrot juice with pumpkin pie spice
Cashew nutmilk with pumpkin pie spice
With fruit:
spinach and pineapple
spinach and coconut water
Would soaking them help? I've read that nuts in general has alot of anti-nutrients & soaking is always suggested.
