Chris Randall commented on Garret Lake's blog post Final nail in the coffin.

"Yeah it can be tough in the beginning Garret. Find out how much volume you can stomach at a time, and use that as a base of working towards your calorie goal. Numbers are important here. I mean, I could feel absolutely stuffed after eating 1000…"

Garret Lake commented on Garret Lake's blog post Final nail in the coffin.

"Thank you and I have found out that having enough calories is important the hard way this week. While I did stay on it, I was feeling hungry and it was, and still is, hard to know how much of what to eat and how much of what I can actually eat…"

Chris Randall commented on Garret Lake's blog post Final nail in the coffin.

"Nice! Welcome to the good life Garret. :) I know people say it again and again, and again a few times after that, but count your calories and eat enough fruit! That's the formula to success, I guarantee it. :)"

kate commented on Garret Lake's blog post Thinking about going 100% sooner than by the end of the month!

"As Ednshell says, Dr D recommends (like Nike!) JUST DO IT! Personally I experienced no improvement at all with going 80% lrfv over a year, probably cos my diet was quite good tho not much raw, before. I'm experiencing slow but…"

Garret Lake replied to Bevin's discussion A few questions from a new banana eater

"Hi! I'm starting from a zero exercise position and I found that even at 80% lfrv I have had way more energy than I know what to do with. I did jumping jacks randomly last night next to my bed when I was getting ready to go to…"

"Hey Ashleigh, thanks for commenting! I'm glad to see this boat doesn't have one oar! I hope to have a 100% lfrv day soon, but I know that the day I do is the day I go 100% for life. I can only imagine what our others are…"

"Hey Garret, I'm in the same boat as you -- trying to do 100% LFRV with a cooked junk-food boyfriend IN THE HOUSE! He's not even remotely interested in upping his raw food and says things like, "You're not seriously…"

Garret Lake commented on Garret Lake's blog post Weird feeling this morning

"Thanks for commenting Alex! I had no idea that apples and watermelon were so low in caloric value compared to other fruits until I started perusing Cronometer. However, most of what's available in my local Sprouts are apples, oranges, and…"

"Thanks for commenting ednshell! I know 100% is the best way, but for my success in this change, I need to wean myself off the SAD, and this experience showed me a lot! I will definitely check out the website and Lennie's talk. Thank you!"

"Hey welcome to 30BAD and to 80/10/10! :D I think going 100% is the easiest way to go and Dr. Doug says he sees the best success with people going 100%, so yeah, go for it! Another great resource until you get the book is:…"

Alex Wall-Clarke commented on Garret Lake's blog post Weird feeling this morning

"I've always found apples very hard to eat in quantity, too fibrous and not enough calories really. You'd be better off with higher calorie fruits, bananas, dates, mangoes, honeydew melons etc. Also watermelon is very low in calories, no…"

Thinking about going 100% sooner than by the end of the month!

I'm going to do a blog post, I hope, every day to help me keep track of my progress and notes. If anyone wants to comment, then by all means please do so and I will comment back. Yesterday was the first day I decided to have fruit meals for more than just one meal, so I had about 3. Since they're still small, I found it hard to get through work on lunch so I had 2 apples between lunch and the time I had to leave for the day. Since I'm weaning myself into this lifestyle I had dinner last…See More

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.: I'm currently not in the best health, or shape (round isn't a shape), get bronchitis easily and don't have much energy. Because the SAD is addicting for me, I am currently having all raw fruit lunches and snacks and will be moving up to 2 meals raw and then eventually to full raw hopefully after only a month. This will be difficult because my girlfriend of almost 4 years now isn't being very supportive. On top of that, I wanted us to do this together and after reading what I have, I think it will severely diminish how much anti-epilepsy medications she needs to take. BUT, that's IF she stops rolling her eyes at me and asking me how I'm going to get my protein.

I've been poking around this site for the past couple days along with some other 811 based sites and I must say the results are amazing health-wise. I mean, who knew that eating raw fruits and veggies could cure so many ailments?! It's so simple!

So on top of getting healthy, I want to loose weight and am currently 316, so we'll see the pounds shed off shortly before I really have to work at it. >./body>

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I really want to be LFRV 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

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: Favorite books are...few. Mostly anything that can hold my attention. Water for Elephants is good so far.

I love comedies and sci-fi movies.

I love to hike, but don't very often, and love to swim. More outdoor activities is a goal for me.

Today, I'm joining the 100% lfrv club. Last night was horribly amazing and really showed me what our bodies will do when it detects a potential toxin. I had rice last night and lets just say the before it even got to my stomach, my body stopped it in it's tracks...literally. I could have had a soar throat this morning, but I didn't and I strongly believe that's because my body now has more resources to put toward healing.

Today, 100% lfrv for life!

I know, I said one a day, but I've come to realize this is like a diary and that's really helpful. Anyway...

This morning I decided to eat some romaine, and I almost gagged! So I figured that my body just didn't want romaine, so I ate one apple and that was fine. Since I had to leave for work, I ate another on the way and before half of it was gone, I noticed I wasn't breaking down the skin enough to swallow it any more and just after that I started gagging again, but probably… Continue
