Profile

About Me:: A long time vegetarian who was overweight, but never wanted to fall into the dieting route trap. After looking for a weight lost "diet" that was actually a way of life, I discovered raw food and have been living this way for 6 months. So far lost 20kgs, 60 more to go (eek, but 'tis cool that it's going!) ... I should also add that I'm really lucky in that my hubby went raw with me, and loves it just as much :)

What type of friends are you looking to make here?: People to chat to, other people losing weight, newbies to fitness training

Relationship Status:: Married

Favorite Raw Food or Dish:: Kale Salad

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: web design, education, technology, web 2.0, music, mandolin, the great outdoors

Favorite Quote:: "Life is brief, but my god Thursday afternoon is incredibly long"

Wow, I can't believe how long its been since I've visited GI2MR! I've had a hell couple of months and really fallen from my high raw lifestyle, which turned into a vicious cycle of depression and beating myself up. I can't tell you when it started, I was eating really well in Jan - Feb (mainly living on Mangoes) and then my hubby and I went back to uni part time and we were sucked into the bad habits we had before going raw - staying at uni late and being too stuffed to come home and uncook so b… Continue

Interview on my raw life

My friend and kiwi blogger Lynsey Gedye has been fascinated by my raw journey, and wanted something special for his 500th blog post, so I had the privilege of being his guest! You can read the interview here.

Successful Day

It's been a while since I blogged on my site, or came here to look around and participate. It feels so good though when I do get the chance! I really believe that keeping in contact with other raw foodies, and reading books, gets you in the right mindset to keep going.

I've had a bad month or so, eating just a standard vegan diet (probably 50% raw) and I can't believe the differences between now and when I was 100% raw up until a couple of months ago. I'm sleeping heavier, have this con… Continue

Kitchen experimentation

On the weekend I decided to experiment with some gourmet cooking in the kitchen, creating a Chili con Calabacín, Chili Stuffed Mushrooms and Raspberry Sorbet to cool off after all that chili! I've blogged the full story of my (mis)adventures at http://www.soylatte.net

Perth is great when it comes to people trying out new things, the small community of people that are everything from avid dog walkers to Jedis always seem to know each other. Melbourne is great but it is huge. Organics are much more readily available as is Manuka honey, agave and spiralizers (lol, I could not find them in Perth). I moved over for study in the middle of what must have been a mass exodus. As for the raw life itself, Melbourne is again, big. I haven't met many raw enthusiasts outside my household, there are lots of Vegans though. I love Vegans, my friends will eat ANYTHING.

Take care fellow Perthie.

i love the weird looks faculty give my green smoothies!

At 2:02pm on February 16th, 2008, Allison said…: Hi, Kate. Thanks for your comment! Health issues are my primary driving force for turning to an all raw diet. I am not outright diagnosed with anything, but have symptoms of PCOS and hypthyroidism. I've had ovarian cysts, hirsutism, and other markers- even a couple of skin tags, which are related to hypothyroidism. And now that I'm testing my blood sugar I see that I am pre-pre-diabetic (insulin resistance) so now I'm really getting serious about eating raw!! Geez, I'm just fallin' apart here. :-)

It's a process called Through the Lens. I shoot a digital camera through a vintage camera.

Thailand's got some awesome fruits up it sleeves even for me yet, a couple of weeks ago I had what was like a cross between an avocado and a durian, can you believe... Needless to say i've planted the seeds. Enjoy your fruitpicking sojourn down south !; )

At 12:58pm on January 7th, 2008, Bryan Au said…: Hi Kate that is RAWsome thank you so much believe me I WOULD LOVE to come to Australia!!! Sunny, nice people, etc. well there is one other nice lady that is looking for 9 other people...maybe you can help her? And you would be the 9th so she would only need 8 more? She is in Sydney...so the deal is if you can find 10 people in your town/city to Pre-Pay and sign up that would cover my airfare and EVERYTHING I needed to come, I have a new passport and am ready!:)
