Eating LFRV has been going really well- the longer time goes by the easier that it gets :) The only problem that I have is that I can't eat that much fruit at one sitting- I just can't, I will get physically sick- so I'm trying to do what my body is telling me to do. I haven't really had too many cravings for cooked foods- Thanksgiving was a little tough b/c everyone was curious about why I was only eating a spinach salad but other than that, I didn't want any of the cooked food. I plan on weigh… Continue
I am lucky that with my family being on the other side of the ocean and my husband's family being Korean, Thanksgiving is not the big eating fest that it is for other people. Takes the pressure off a bit.
They had beef and crab and various cooked dishes and I made myself nori rolls with avocado (a treat for me), cucumber, carrot and red pepper with tiny bits of ginger. I really liked how this came out, except, I should have wet the nori a bit less. It was quite a treat, nonetheless. Especially… Continue
Hey everyone!
It's day 10 of only bananas, and I wanted to post a quick update. I'm at my grandmother's house in New York right now and I'm so happy she has internet so that I can continue to have access to the cyberspace part of my life.
I've had some solid yoga sessions, despite my sleepiness. Today my yoga session kicked. my. butt. It lasted for 2 hours because I got up early, due to being unable to sleep. I was dripping in sweat and I was nauseous. I had to go into child's pose several tim… Continue

My breasts like an mix up of all of the breast photographs on that page, and have been like that for about two months. IDK, I'm 16 tho, so it's probably reallyyyyyyy unlikely I have it.
I did show my mum what my breasts had gone like and she was horrified and I'm booked into the doctors next monday. Apparently to check for IBC you take anti-biotics f… Continue
I had a great thanksgiving today, there truly is so much to be thankful for. This morning I got up and ran a 5k race put on by the Sonoma County chapter of Organic Athlete. I had a good run and I got to see all my Organic Athlete friends. I'm still new to running and I usually do the 10k so I didn't totally pace myself right, but I ended up finishing at 21:36, which is a good time for me. Afterward, I decided just for the hell of it to go out to the coast for a post race run. I've been wanting t… Continue
My brother asked me how many people will be killed by shopping rushes tomorrow in the US. He guessed three, I guessed seven, haha. What's your wager? The correct/closest bettor will receive a prize! Continue
I was planning on eating plain potatoes, green beans and rice during the Thanksgiving meal. But when I was in the kitchen, seeing the food just really turned me off. I didn't want plain, dry potatoes and I definitely didn't want to watch them eat turkey :( So, I just grabbed one of the smoothies I made before hand (made 3,000 calories worth upon waking) and went upstairs. They seemed bothered by this, especially since they assumed I was going to eat with them. But, they also understood. I don't… Continue
I'm thankful for sweet, gentle hearts. <3
and the show Glee :P
But mostly, sweet, gentle hearts and warm, genuine, interactions.
Today at the library, an older gentleman asked me for help on the computer. I said "sure," not knowing what he wanted help with. Then he said (in his accent) that he wanted to message some women and he pointed to the yahoo personals matches list. I was a little confused, but assumed that he wasn't computer literate. So, I sat there with him, going through… Continue
Hi all! 4 weeks lfrv for me! Woohoo! (recap: started in May 2007, did 811 raw for 6 months, then ate cooked food sometimes - bad idea!) but started again Wed, Oct 28, 2009).
I'm eating 2,000+ lfrv 811 calories a day and lost a few lbs already. Love it! So, eating more fruit is really the key. Yes, Freelee, you are so right! LOL
My goal is 6 months, 1 year, forever, but we'll take it a month at a time! Continue
I had heard some blogger Steve Pavlina had chronicled his experiences trying out a raw food diet, but not until yesterday did I read it. I think it's a great resource actually for anyone starting 811, because he lays out why he was going to try it and then goes through with a very thorough description, day by day of what he is eating, the caloric breakdown, how he's feeling, etc. Especially the pictures of all the meals, it seems to me, might be really helpful for someone to understand how much… Continue
On November 12, 2009 I started eating 100% raw food. I gave up coffee and all caffeine, chewing gum with aspartame and mints with fake sugar. It was scary to finally let go of caffeine once and for all. I've been drinking coffee and black tea since I was young. There were periods when I gave it up but I always seemed to go back. I was also very addicted to that chewing gum even though I knew it was terrible for me. It wasn't easy and at times I almost can't believe I did it. I am proud of myself… Continue

My skin & body is so shitty atm I have to stick w/ this.
Breakfast: I have a small bag of mixed fruit and nuts I'm eating through, but I won't buy it again. It's good, but it doesn't make me feel great or taste as good as fruit. One type of dried fruit in it is quite sugary, so it might not be raw. It also contains carob chips (which I hate :() but it's all organic.
I was wondering, is getting 1200 calories enough?
I just made up a day on CRON with 250grams of grapes (I'd eat 1kg with eas… Continue

Took a few shots today, attention-grabbing ones aimed at promoting veganism to the masses, we live in a society where sex sells so I thought I'd 'go with the flow'...

I went to my local fruit store and they had 3 punnets of berries for 5 :) I brought 6, lol. I also found out they had just stocked nectarines, peaches, apricots etc. etc.. I only brought the apricots as the others were probably quite floury as they were imported, but I'm still happy. I now have fresh dates, grapes, pomegranate (just one, wanted to taste it lol. anyone know how to open one?), strawberries, mandarins, apples, kiwifruit and cucumber. Yum :)
I also found out at the organic store th… Continue

Well I ate my thirty bananas, unfortunately a little too late as I drunk a soy mocha. 15 bananas while at work....got home, was concerned about what I would do all alone with nothing fun to do until the wife got home, so what do I do???? go to the coffee shop and play computer game LOL. I laugh at my silliness. and now I am finishing up my 15th bananas for total of thirty. I got probably now almost a half a case of ripe bananas in my fridge, I hope my wife remembers to buy another case of yellow… Continue
It's started.
I work in outdoor-ed teaching maritime history as well as sailing to 4th and 5th graders. Along with this a few friends have boats. The bug's got me and since I LOVE adventure and a challenge I've decided that I will sail to Puerto Rico from California. I'll be doing this on a sub 30' cruiser which I plan to buy this spring. Once my sailing skills are up to par with whatever the open waters can dish out I'm taking off. Of course doing so would be much more enjoyable with a fellow 8… Continue

Yes, I agree Chad.
I like a little bit of onion every now and again on my salads. Garlic on the other hand I use to like when I ate cooked. Can't handle raw garlic, so don't eat it now.
I generally finish my last meal between 8.00 to 8.30pm. I'm in bed by 9.30pm at the latest and then up at 3.00am. I have no problem with digestion on a LFRV diet, doing it this way, however when I was on the SAD I ha serious problems.
3rd Day eating LFRV!
