My wife and I went through a similar problem at the beginning. Then we found 80/10/10, and everything is fine now. For raw foodists, we get our calories either from fat or fruit, and the low-fat, high-fruit way has worked much better for us. Here...

The first two times I tried 100% raw I failed miserably, and went back to a cooked diet. Now I realize the reason for failures: not getting enough calories, in other words, undereating. Finally, this time I've been successful for four months now, ...

Four months on 811!

My wife and I have now completed four months on 811, and after a few rough spots in the beginning, we are now deep in the groove of 811.
The benefits have included: increased energy, more mental clarity, improved musical performances, increased desire to exercise, calmer and deeper meditations.
As a professional free-lance musician, I've had some of my best performances since starting 811. This is a big deal, since it's a tough business, and you're only as good as your last performance. That sai… Continue

For those new to raw - the tendency to undereat

Yesterday I posted something in a discussion that got some positive comments, and I thought it might be a good idea to put it here on this blog. My hope is that other people who are new to eating raw might be helped by this.

This week I completed two weeks on the raw diet, and it is my third attempt. The first two times, I simply wasn't eating enough.

This time, in my research, I came across a few raw food teachers who emphasized that is common for newbies to undereat. I have therefore taken t… Continue

Thank you Peter! Do you have any links to your performances? I'd love to listen!

I actually just learned about the 80/10/10 community on that website. I have a lot to learn, I can't wait to explore the site more :)

Even with the internet...this is still a huge transition for most people. I found this site about a year ago by pure coincidence; I was watching a video on Gliving.com and Dhrumil was the interviewee.

But wow, I commend you for your previous attempts at raw and your most current endeavor. don't hesitate to reach out to or even challenge me/anyone here to explain their beliefs.

Peter,
Your comment on the recent DR thread was a great reminder to the entire community. It resonated deeply with me as I felt the same way when I tried going raw last year. Glad to have you here.

Hi Peter. I am glad you were able to add your experience to the recent DR topic. You have explained the issue very eloquently. You are a beautiful person living in a beautiful place..=)

Hey Peter! Welcome to GI2MR.

When you first when raw, what was your approach? Did you go 100% right away? Just curious so I can help you find something that works for you.

Thank you for your positive words everyone. I've been raw for 8 months and it was simply dissappointing to have gone through such a binge! Besides I felt physically awful! Onward we march from here! lol
