thanks guys!!!
Today started my first day of raw, tonight I'm going to our local raw restaurant to celebrate my friend Emily's passing through her old home city. Today I've been drinking a lot of water and drinking a lot of juice, tomorrow I might...
Do a 3 day (minimum) juice fast.... that should do it.
Try drinking more green juice, it really helps with addictions.

- thank you ~~~
sounds great! yes i want to go to Tamil Nadu and Kerala next year. Sounds like you had the most awesome experience.
Agreed that while travelling to new places our body and energy feels out of our comfort zone. it is only natural to be eating for convention. I felt really lost while travelling near Bhutan last year. i loved the travel but there werent much raw options and i did not even like cooked foodl. so overall i was a bit drained out that way but felt totally amazing in every other way!
thanks for the update!

Which site is Natasha's site? I'm confused, lol
80/10/10 is working very well for me ;)
"I was eating about 50% greens, 25% fruit and 25% nuts"
This comment suggests that you have not read the book and do not understand the basics of 80/10/10. It also suggests that whoever gave you advice doesn't comprehend the basics of 80/10/10. I suggest you read the book :)
I also suggest you by a cheap food scale and use Nutridiary.com Self-awareness is the cornerstone of health, if we do not know what we are doing we cannot move forward. I guarantee you are getting at least 50% of your calories from fat. You can see my screen shots here:

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...
