Happy, healthy and a little fruity!!

I have recently bought a new cycle for commuting to work. As I work as a teacher in New Zealand we have been on our summer break for the last month so I haven't had a chance to take it to work yet. My commute is 22km each way.

I have been riding an aluminium hybrid for the last 14 years and…

I just watched this yesterday evening for the first time. It is interesting to watch and nice to see video that includes reference to The China Study.

What is it with my skeptical family? They managed to try and rebute everything they saw.

Perhaps it is easier to find excuses than perhaps accept that the diet you eat may be causing you illness and have to make some changes.

Oops! I haven't managed to stay 100% 811rv. At the end of week 6 we moved house (to a very nice house btw) which was stressful to say the least and I broke all of my routines.

My original goal was to be 100% for 3 months and I am already a 1/3 of the way. I have been thinking about  what I will do at the end of 3 months. Right now I…

After a couple of years of fruit for breakfast and lunch I have decided to go all the way and eat exclusively 811rv for at least the next 3 months.

It has been a week since I have started and so far so good. I have avoided the mistake I have always made of not eating any greens. Every evening meal now has some leafy greens in it.  And I feel amazingly good already. I am satisfied on only 3 large fruit meals per day.

I have a small sore appear on my left torso…
