So I was feeling not too bad the past couple of days but today that changed… I had a hell of a time getting out of bed today to go to work. All morning at work I was not feeling well at all. My chest was tight, it was hard for me to breathe, I felt very weak, it was hard for me to stand up, I had shooting pains in my wrist and liver and a horrid headache… not a pretty sight or feeling. …

So recently I've realized that I need to up my calories, again.

When I decided to go overt free 42 days ago I instantly realized that I needed to raise my calorie consumption. I had previously been eating around 2400 calories with around half an avocado per day. When I cut the fat out I was craving "something". I figured out that I was craving more fruity carbs! After realizing this I raised my calories to 2900-3200 per day, based on activity level. I started feeling even…

I have just spent the last 3 days riding along the Canal du Midi from Agen to Carcassonne in Southern France. This journey is absolutely blissful. The canal has a cycle path along the entire length and is lined with gorgeous old

trees. No cars, no electricity, the occasional small town…

So i am still eating low fat plant based, but I am deffinitly not eating enough fruit. I still eat some though, for example I ate a watermelon yester day, today I will have 3 cantalop. Tomorow my case of bananas should be ripe enough to eat.

Ive noticed that I am eating a little less fruit because I am becoming complacent in eating low fat vegan. However, I am not happy with this as it is jsut obvious to me that without fruit, I just wont feel as good as I'd…

Just a short line here: I kept quiet for a few months because my UC still wouldn't clear up after 2 years trying to go raw. In July suddenly I couldn't eat fruit at all anymore without getting bouts of mucous from the bowel, (maybe this info is not so interesting for healthy peeps) especially when on banana island again. And no that was not detoxing. Fasting did help only for some time.…

I have been seeing quite a bit of information on raw (non-human) milk, claiming it is in some way a healthy food for adult humans. On a rational level this does not make sense to me; if non-human milk was such a natural and healthy food for humans, why would we ever wean, and why would many of us stop being able to digest lactose after four years of age ?

But aside from the health aspect of drinking another animal's milk,…

Stupid dentist. I look a mess! The parts for my teeth did not come in...but they did the work anyway..moved gum tissue..put in temporary abutments..and then cemented these thick halloween looking teeth things in my mouth... I look a mess!

I'm so angry...I cant talk without sounding like daffy duck and I look like a halloween creature. I could have waited until the parts came in!

I have a workshop tomorrow...I am suppose to record with a major player in the movie…

So,

As I started to dread a couple of weeks ago, the rain has started here in the Comox Valley. We may get a few more sunny weeks before next spring, but very few. It rains here in the Valley for almost a solid 5 months out of the whole year! Ahhhh!

We traveled out here from Ontario in November, and were greeted with rain that did not cease until mid June. I would almost be willing to put up with the -30C Ont. winters this year just to see some SUN!

Ahh. Yes I know the…

Today I thought I would share about my fabulous wound-healing on a low fat raw vegan lifestyle...

Back at the start of 2008 I got my very first road bike, boy was I EXCITED! I hadn’t been on a bike for about 10years so I was keen to get my legs back. The first day was great, I was gliding along with the

traffic, feeling pretty confident and the day went off without a hitch.
