Profile

About Me:: A Scot living in London. Been 90% raw since Sept '07, and feel better than ever. This is the latest stage in a journey that started when I met my wife 10 years ago when I was heading for almost certain ill health (if I wasn't in fact there already). Can't quite believe how my health has improved and now evangelise about the raw lifestyle to anyone who listens! I'm sure I'm getting younger every day!

Location:: London, UK

What type of friends are you looking to make here?: Hoping to make friends with other raw food fans in London, the UK and worldwide. Anyone with any tips on foraging would be especially good to get to know!

Relationship Status:: Married

Favorite Raw Food or Dish:: courgette spaghetti with marinara sauce; raw chocolate; raw apple pie

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: health, keeping fit, music, movies, woodland walks (rambling), keen to learn more about foraging

Favorite Books:: The Hundred Year Lie, The China Study, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, Conversations with God, The Power of the Subconscious Mind!

Favorite Quote:: “You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself.” Galileo

It's the weekend, so I should e resting, right? Apparently not.

This morning I went to the gym and had my first crack at the new fitness programme set by my trainer. I have to admit that the running on the treadmill almost killed me! Mind you, he had set the thing to go at faster speeds than I had run before, so I'm not overly surprised. No doubt that with regular practise it will become more achievable.

The weights side of thing went far better. I'm embarrassed at how little w… Continue

Getting fit for life!

I've never blogged before because I've never found much I wanted to blog about and share with the world. However, it's about time I jumped on the bandwagon...

I've never been the most physical of people - I played active games when I was a kid but I was never heavily into sports. I'm one of those people who has never been really unfit, but never been really fit either.

In recent years I've made several attempts at doing regular gym exercise but I've fallen by the wayside on too… Continue

It's so cool that you have found success with your diet. Let me know if you find out any good info on foraging in London. I'll keep my eye out for you too. We should organise a foraging walk or something in London at some point... would be cool.

Best

Thanks for joining Raw Humour member number 200 I believe..what an honour ;-)

At 1:30am on May 20th, 2008, Valine said…: Yeah I totally don't need as much sleep - I went out Saturday night, didn't drink, drove, was out till half one, in bed by 2am and then woke up fresh as at 6.30am!! GREAT!!

Ah I'm glad the ionizer's working out, I'll get the details off you at some point if thats alright. Sounds lke your house is going to be great fun experimenting for a while yet!!

At 12:58am on May 20th, 2008, Valine said…: Morning Mr J - (I love how all raw-fooders are up at silly o'clock ha) how's the ionizer and the dehydrator going? Are you all flax-crackered up??

At 6:37pm on May 19th, 2008, Tess said…: Hi Andrew, I'm at the VERY beginning! How long have you been involved? Is there much of a raw food scene/community in London?

At 9:52am on May 19th, 2008, Marine said…: Hi Andrew, you're are absolutely right, dairies are hard to give up in this cheese country, at some point in my life I almost lived only on bread and cheese but their terrible effects on my health and overall well being are so strong and I love fruit so much that actually I don't miss them so far.
Also I find it much easier to give up wheat and dairies or fish and meat on a raw diet thant on a cooked vegan one.
Now that I decided to be raw, I have totally different standard of what food is, and that helps a lot don't you think ?
