My wife and I have been going to the gym with simple goals; 10 pounds in 6 weeks and 20 pounds in 12 weeks. We did not set to high of goals due to the fact, we have never really do anything for ourselves...it has been for others. We have now put our focus on "US"! Our health and happiness is on us and only us! Changing the way we eat and look at food..it is not something you stuff in your face in front of the TV a couple times a day. Eating RAW is something you need to take your time and plan ou… Continue

Life has been pretty torrential lately, and I'm having a difficult time articulating to myself what exactly has made it such a struggle. I think a large part of this is my own insecurity and therefore dependence on other people to give me doses of confidence...a rather unhealthy (emotionally, spiritually, personally) way to live. In addition, there has been a great deal of change and upheaval that has resulted (per my usual life cycles) in a recurrence of anorexic/bulimic habits and thoughts. Th… Continue

As I learn more and more about the food system in the United States, the more I become afraid of it. Doing research for a paper recently, I found out that about 70% of all packaged foods sold in America have at least some genetically engineered components. For those of you unfamiliar with GM (genetically modified) crops, they are crops that have been altered at the DNA level to have some “desirable” trait. These crops have been banned in several countries such as Japan, Norway, Germany, and Spai… Continue

I've come to the conclusion that I think many have who have adopted this lifestyle way of eating that your current circles of friends become more and more challenging. And in challenging I'm referring about meal gatherings. Whether it be at other's homes or out to restaurants. The latter venue being the toughest since most restaurants offer little in choices sans a leafy green salad and some vegetables. None of which may be organic. So what's a raw vegan to do? In my case, it's the search for di… Continue

Richard is an absolute gem of personal training and raw foods fitness. I'm going to ask him how people who are inclined to work all t… Continue
