We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: This lifestyle has changed me in too many ways to count since I adopted it in early 2011, far beyond what I ever thought could be possible. It has been a hell of a journey. I have done long stints of 100% raw but typically stay 75% raw most of the time.

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I'm HCRV already

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 have read the book

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 live in a very health and fitness conscious city and would like to help spread the word about 811 here. There is a big vegetarian and vegan community. We have several vegan restaurants and even a gourmet raw vegan one. Crossfit was born here so Paleo is big too. Many pro triathletes live in Austin. Whole Foods started here. I think the 811 lifestyle could be a huge hit here if we can just get the word out and educate people.

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

Back on the wagon, 7 days 100%

Posted on March 30, 2013 at 12:39am 2 Comments 2 Likes

Something clicked in me last week, that I was fighting all of these bad habits: late nights, cooked vegan asian food, negative self talk. I was resisting all of them very hard. After some emotional things happened I was able to accept it all and let it go. This week it's been so much easier than usual to stay all raw. I had a couple of cravings, but no kinds of major "OMG I GOTTA HAVE VIETNAMESE FOODZ NAOW!!" type cravings.

I've been eating a lot of fruit during the day…

Day 1 of 1 Week 100% LFRV + Daily good habits

Posted on December 4, 2012 at 3:10am 1 Comment 1 Like

Earlier this year I did 150 days 100% LFRV. 1 week should not be difficult for me. But I need to do a blog to hold myself accountable. I've been able to tolerate a very small subset of cooked foods, mainly rice with cooked vegetables. But I don't feel the best on it. I've had 3 or 4 day stretches of 100% raw but I am not dedicated enough to maintain it. On Saturdays I had two cooked meals and had very little energy on Sunday. I ended up running a 1-hour 10K which is a little slow for…

The road back to 100% raw

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:01am 8 Comments 0 Likes

I am terribly anxious about stupid crap today. Car flat tire. Skipping lunch with co-workers because I don't want to put crap in my body. Possible social activities this weekend. Women. What will I do with my dogs while I'm gone for WFF? Possibility of chiropractic college. It's all tying my stomach up in knots. I want to go home and lie down. Despite getting 9.5 hours of sleep last night, I don't feel my best today.

I've eaten some cooked food every day since my 150…

My body won't accept cooked food anymore

Posted on July 5, 2012 at 4:17pm 14 Comments 2 Likes

Today has been day 5 since I've allowed cooked vegan foods back into my diet after 150 days raw. Each cooked meal (dinner only) has slowly affected me worse and worse. Each time I would feel a little more discomfort and malaise after the meal.

Tonight was finally the kicker. After a meal of rice, beans, jalapenos and tomatoes with hot sauce (which was DELICIOUS) I threw up in the yard of the restaurant in front of my friends. Wow. Felt fine eating the meal but as soon as…

I could see popcorn being socially hard to give up.

I ate like 6 tomatoes tonight, I think I'm addicted! I've heard they could be though..

Your youtube vids make California look great, you're in LA right?

Have you been to Woodstock yet?

At 2:33am on April 5, 2013, Caveivore said…: It's a great area to learn chiropractic, and it has a somewhat decent music scene for a Midwestern mid sized city. Yeah sometimes I get annoyed at the atmosphere here, very few vegans, but I converted 1-2 at Palmer.
811 is kinda hard here in the winter, I'll eat frozen peas when I can't get anything else decent. California does sound pretty great, I'm thinking of moving out there after I graduate.
Have you been to a chiro?
How long have you been 811?
