Oxacilic Acid in large amounts is "bad"

Started this discussion. Last reply by IHaveALight - Chris Jun 30, 2012. 19 Replies

I have read in two different vegan books that if I eat too much of any foods that contain this (Oxacilic Acid) it is not good.  I eat about a pound of spinach per day and maybe a head or two or…Continue

Hi All,I am on my 7th day of Banana Island.  Tomorrow I am back to LFRV.  Banana Island went well.  (I actually did Bananas and greens).  The last meal of the day has been a tough one as I really really didn't want any more bananas but I push through and suck it up (literally because my last meal is usually a smoothy).  :)  Anway, is there a transition back to LFRV that I should follow or can I go back to the standard LFRV without any worries? Thank you as always to your input!  :)See More

Thanks Briggsy! When I've attempted to go raw before, I've had small successes, like weight loss and good feelings and prolonged periods of great health. The problem I've faced in transitioning into a raw diet is that I've always attempted to do it alone. That's one reason why I started making movies, to document my progress and meet other like minded people. I'm learning that having a supportive community is the key to success!

You Rawk Briggsy! I've tried transitioning into 811 100% and failed. I think you're smart to take it slow and go at your own pace into the diet. Its all about creating the best health in your life and I'm doing it step by step and with support from people that I'm meeting, its making it easier and easier.

That's awesome! Being vegan is definitely a step in the right direction. I was 100% vegan until two days ago. I finally decided to go completely raw and follow the 811 way. I decided to go vegan about two years ago and was having problems sticking with it. I did lose 40 lbs though, which is spectacular. I felt healthier better about myself. Then i had family and friends constantly making me feel horrible for my decision, not sure why since i was doing so well. Just haters i suppose. All that hating got to me though and i fell off for awhile. Then a few months back i met my boyfriend. Or very first conversation was about going vegan, being healthy and eventually going raw. We've been trying raw off and on but been completely vegan. Well about two days ago i decided enough was enough. I need to be healthy! I'm still very overweight 200 at 5ft9in, but hadn't gained any of the previous weight back on. Even though this is day two of bring completely 811, i already feel much better.

Hello Briggsy, sorry I never responded.  I have been away from 30bad for awhile for no particular reason.  But the answer to your question, I use a standard 18-55mm canon ef lens and canon t1i.  I have now upgraded my setup to a canon t2i with 18-55, 35-80mm, and 50mm 1.8.  You will probably see some more pictures on here soon, but mainly at my website .  www.highcarbrawvegan.com
