I have a few new blog posts, one of which presents a fantastic video summary of the nutritional problems with dairy by Dr. McDougall. The most serious mistake a person can make is to believe cow's milk is healthy, or a necessary source of calcium. Heart disease, cancer, type-2 diabetes, arthritis, and infectious disease are only a few of the common consequences of drinking milk from other animals. This is a great lecture (and article) to share with friends and family who…

I have been following the lfrv lifestyle since the start of the year. This past month I have found that I am putting on weight on my belly :( I am approx 90%-95% raw. I go to the gym 4 times a week, plus ride my bike to and from the gym, I do a lot of walking as well & I also have a 2 year old son who keeps me very busy.

Just after any insight on this issue as I am really conscious when I go to the gym now coz I'm bigger than when I started :( I currently weigh around 54.5kg. I…

Got 3rd overall on one of the toughest (although it's not ultra distance) trail running courses in US! Take a look: http://escarpmenttrail.com/

My time 3:11, Ben N. won again beating me by 18min. He was recently 6th at the I.A.U. Ultra Trail World Championship in Ireland (70km), so I had 0 chance. Second guy was 8 min ahead of me, fourth - 8 min behind. At the start - 200…

Oh wow, I’ve been waiting a long long time to write this race report!

It’s only been 36 hours since I won the Vermont 100, but I’ve been waiting for the moment to write about a 100 mile breakthrough performance…

Since my early twenties, I had a prolapsed disk and spondylitis in my lower back.

To start with I had excruciating back pain, sciatica pain down my right leg, leg numbness and a limp. The weakness in my right leg continued to the extent where my right leg lost muscle mass and looked skinnier than my left leg. I couldn’t stand on my toes using my right leg as my calf muscle was really weak. The sciatica and numbness did eventually stop and my leg recovered and I was…

I have been involved in a revegatation project that required 1700 plants to be planted on a 1.8 klm Water retention bund.   Really like being out amongst the bush and peace and quite it can have as long as you dont step on any snakes, keep the Mozzies at bay, and don't swallow to many flies, :-)

This writer has come upon quite an epiphany! Adding 4 bananas A WEEK to your diet may be good for you, hahah! I don't want to discourage you guys with this daunting task, but can you bother rework your schedule and squeeze in this little habit?

So.......... I'm really excited cuz I just bought a bunch of fruit and now my counter looks colorful.  I've been doing 811Raw off and on for a while and I'm really ready to kick it up a notch.  It's weird how cooked food that I used to LOVE tastes not so good anymore... like rice or couscous just tastes dry and spaghetti tastes rubbery. I probably spelled that wrong but whatever.

I think  a big challenge will be keeping enough ripe fruit in the house.  It's…

Hey All,
