roughly 4300 cals 89.25% carbs 6.5% protein 4.25% fat
..

I love questioning everything because I want to understand: myself, my motivations, other people, the surrounding world and reality itself.. GULP.. and for this you gotta keep asking WHY.. WHY WHY WHY..
I love talking about anything and everything, but if pressed for a list of subjects I'd say: life, love, philosophy, science, exercise, logic & reason, the mind & body, permaculture.. what else is there??
..

I believe our messy lives are our own making.. i think we should take responsibility and this is the first step to evolving ourselves, and how painful it can be, i revel in it..
..

My days are very simple..
• 3-4 hours at work
• 1 hours of intense exercise
• 1 hour walk to the shops to buy my scrummylicious
• A few hours eating
• A few hours of escapism: reading, writing, art, audiobooks, music..
• 10 hours in bed resting and sleeping
..

:D

Hey Gareth, I am looking for something inspiring every morning on the web. Today I found you post and it motivates me to keep on going my 811 journey. Today afternoon I will go the market with some 811friends and I will make sure that we will share some watermelon or another kind of fruit. I hope you will make it through the 811 Festival in Spain: http://www.811-friendly.net/festival.php?lang=en

Hi Gareth!!  I loved your latest post!  Brutal honesty as to the struggles and rewards of this lifestyle!  Also good to see that you enjoy the teachings of Eckhart Tolle....listening to his audiobooks (with his gentle voice reading his own words) helps to calm and center me.

Before the big change that 811 brought about nearly four years ago I 

was confused about everything, I used to partake in a lot ov drugs and

escapism and that prevented personal & emotional development and when

I finally put a stop to all the nonsense all the running away I had to

go through quite a painful metomorphosis..



.. if anything upset me, if anything was troubling or taxing, if i did

something wrong or regretted any actions I just escaped from…

811 the design

811 the design



I think 811 is missunderstood by a lot of people.. in all appearances

it is a diet: a way of eating, and a lifestyle: a way of living.



But to me the food and the lifestyle is the result of a design, and

this design is what 811 really is...



Nature is hard and resources can be sparce. Survival is all important

and animals eat what they can to survive.



But what happens when this struggle is no longer there.. when food…

what are taste-buds for...why do we taste...taste sensation

Posted on July 11, 2011 at 7:00pm 0 Comments

What are taste-buds for? a work in progress...

 

We derive pleasure from taste but this is not what it's for, taste sensations are there so we may detect WHAT we are eating, taste being the bodies second line of defence against poison, the first being sight and smell and of course the knowledge of what to look for...

 

The five tastes and what they signify to the body:

• Sweet -- energy

• Salty -- sodium & other salts

• Umami (savoury) --…
