Slowing it down

We have started eating cooked vegs almost every night... and have even had a SAD meal.. almost once per week. My mineral levels are rising and I feel a bit stronger. Going too fast can really hurt. If you are highly toxic... not feeling well... best to read Justin's post on transitioning slowly... and take it easy... set the goals.... Right now... I am content to eat raw all day - cooked vegs most nights.. and an occasional SAD meal.. no more than one per week. We will get there... seems to… Continue

811 RV Day 7 - Outta Minerals....

All, Prior to 811 - my afternoon readings were normally 6.8 - 7.2... am was between 6 and 6.2... Here is a link that describes it pretty well.. http://tuberose.com/Acid_Base_Balance.html I have tested this with SAD acid meals, alkaline meals..etc.. seems to be correct. I believe the high fruit/low fat diet is very detoxifying (ie: the Mucusless Diet Healing System by Prof. Arnold Ehret).... Detoxification requires the neutralization of a LOT of acid waste/residue... quite draining on the m… Continue

811RV Day1 - Mareike how's it going ??

Had a 'warmup yesterday.. ;~)... today is my first official day on the 811RV. I have to tell you.... i am feeling OK. Seems I have more energy already. 80% carbs, 10% protein and fats.... (caloric content). The fact is - you have 5% fat... from an all fruit/greens diet... so any additional fat must be minimized. I was eating WAY 2 MUCH FAT !! This should be a change for the better. RD. Continue

Balance in the Diet

Hey out there !!! How does everyone out there balance their diet.?? D. Wolfe recommends 33% each of fats, greens, sweet fruits (by dry weight). I personally think I am close to this - likely a bit low on the fats. More like 20 40 40 ... or 30 35 35... Curious if any of you pay attention to this... and how it makes you feel ? I know I am extremely tired... no spring in my step. Today I "fell off the smoothie wagon" and had some nut/seed crackers with avocado.... I felt better afterwards !!… Continue

Green Smoothies Anyone ?

All, I am determined to LIVE on green smoothies until my youthful vitality returns. Anyone out there willing to give this a try ? I have been living on them.. almost 100% now for 2 weeks. I do add oil, seeds and various superfoods to make them complete. They are highly detoxifying and nutritious. I have a fungal overgrowth so am currently eating only green apples or lower sugar berries for my sweet fruit. A typical 64 oz smoothie for me is as follows (only recently have I began adding the… Continue

Alkalizing Russ (RawDad)

All, I have been 90+% raw since last November and have discovered I am precipitously low on minerals!! I started testing my pH (urine and saliva) first thing in the AM. The Raw diet seems to be helping me expel quite a bit of bodily acid. I am focused on re-mineralization (more greens, superfoods...etc).. and seem to be getting stronger. I sleep quite a bit. Previous to converting to a RAW diet I did consume a lot of animal flesh... (source of the acid). My diet is highly alkaline (I consume… Continue

I bet juggler is GREAT exercise. For the brain, with the hands crossing the body's mid-line is beneficial.

I love apples too! I made a "killer-Raw-Apple-Pie" last week, with different kind of apples in it. It was so good I can't stop thinking about it. The panda-bear in the pic is soooo cute! Did you take the picture yourself?
