"Yes, agreed. The 80/10/10 book answers almost all of these questions and is a really good read to boot. You can buy it from www.foodnsport.com As for counting fat (and calorie and all nutrients) intake we recommend www.cronometer.com"

Seeking Answers! HELP

Hey everybody!So I am new to the HCRV lifestyle.I know and feel passionately in my heart that this lifestyle is the natural and most beneficial way of living, but of course, due to the many lies, misconceptions, and false teachings out in the world today, I need to seek first the truth to put to rest any lies I have been led to believe. In doing so, I can mentally and emotionally get on the same level as my heart, because our thoughts and beliefs play a huge role in our actions, ultimately…See More

Welcome Them!

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: My story begins in my early teens when I started getting sick very frequently, going to multiple doctors and taking numerous test and exams without any results. My doctor seemed like such an idiot to me, unable to tell me anything that I hadn't already just researched myself on webmd. I was continually just prescribed medicine (without any explanation of the cause) that would only momentarily clear the symptoms, but it would always return not too long after. So during my late teens, I had became very frustrated suffering from lower abdominal pain and bloating, frequent uti's/yeast infections, fatigue, all this leading to depression, chronic stress, confusion, anger, which then eventually led to low self esteem and image, self hatred, food addiction, bulimia, and even mental disorders etc. Eventually, the symptoms did cease for a while and I was able to regain happiness for the most part. I never did accept my doctors trying to prescribe me medicine for my so called mental disorder, because I knew deep down that this isn't who I really am, that something has got to give. In hindsight I now know that my diet was a direct cause of the reoccurring problems I suffered from, not to mention the medicines and the birth control I was told would help, as well as the stress and negative thought pattern I held. Years later, my eyes opened to many truth about the lies I had been led to believe, many in regards to health and wellness. Since that point I have become very passionate about holistic healing and preventative nutrition, wellness, fitness, and living an over all optimum lifestyle. I feel like every one strives for this one way or another, but not everyone is able to attain because of the many ideas, mostly false, about how and what will enable them to do so. But now I am on a mission, seeking the truth, demanding actually, in hopes that I can turn around and truly educate people with good news! I stumbled upon freelee and durianrider and the whole 811 lifestyle not too long after doing my own research on the subject. It makes total sense to me that humans are designed to be vegans, and that fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and grains were put here for a reason! Of course, I still have some un-programming of falsehoods to deal with, and that's why I want to become a part of this 30BAD community: To get answers about this new lifestyle that I lovingly embrace while being ridiculed at the same time by the mainstream SAD community. It's unbelievable that people are so oblivious to what's really going on. I have so many people try to persuade me about what they think they "know", but all I want to say is, "Who told you that?" "Did you even research that for yourself?" "Oh, I didn't know you were a part-time scientist!" "You are blind!"
To be honest, I feel very alone on this pursuit at the moment, haven't physically met anyone as passionate about the truth as I am, and unable to share this journey with someone by my side. But this is just the beginning. I'm ready to go places, meet people, experience life, and help others do the same by any means. I am getting on this train and never looking back!
And on a side note: Harley and Freelee make me laugh so hard with their seemingly, yet harmless satirical sense of humor. But hey, the truth hurts!

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: female, babe

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I really want to be HCRV and just need some guidance

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I will read the book again!!

Are you Connected?: no & keen to connect

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: Any good inspirational read, the Bible. Most of the reading I do is for my research and self-studying, inluding many research articles, diet theories, etc. 80/10/10, The China Study, Go Fruit Yourself and many other books on the raw lifestyle. I don't watch much television! But I love listening to music! I love Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, Moby, Coldplay just to name a few, I mostly listen to contemporary christian, though because it's so uplifting and inspirational. I work at a vegan smoothie and juice shop, but when I am not working I like to relax and lounge all over the place (grass, sand, bed, hammock) cycling, holy yoga (saving money to become certified to instruct both), blogging, eating, singing and dancing, discovering, and loving by all means.

Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team! We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?: I have many questions that I have been posed with that am still unable to answer educationally. Truth is absolute, not relative, and there are reasons for everything that can be backed with scientific proof and evidence. I love science, especially relating to food and the functioning systems of the body. I think that the human body is an amazing, intricate and complex design. And the natural foods of this planet are so beautiful, and abundantly nutritional with no help from man. So I really want to learn more in depth reasons about why exactly the HCRV diet IS the ABSOLUTE best lifestyle for our bodies to endure a long and radiant life. And WHY there are so many LIES that surround this whole idea of raw foods and what our bodies REALLY need.

30bad is a HCRV (high carb, raw vegan) internet community which promotes a high carb raw lifestyle free of any animal products. Our forum does not tolerate encouragement of anything contrary to HCRV. Nor do we allow endorsement of non-vegan items or practises which involve the imprisonment, exploitation, abuse or murder of sentient beings. We also require our members to post with proper netiquette. Therefore, please indicate your intention:: I will comply because I like totally agree with all this
