Some prominent raw food chefs, gurus and teachers are falling out of ranks and are making it seem as if it can be “healthier” to add some cooked food back to a raw food diet. But when examining their evidence it shows them adding only about a ten percent addition of cooked food to the diet to get this “extra nutrition”, which they claim is necessary for extra caloric value. They can’t get…

Hey all,

Here's my next post from www.coveguardian.blogspot.com. I've embarked on a mission to raise enough funds for my partner, Ryan to travel with me. I will be selling artwork left over from An Evening For The Dolphins held last night. I have four pieces valued at $25, $125, $500, and $1800. Please let me know if any of you are interested, I will post pictures of the art soon!

I'm not sure I can do this diet. I say this with a heavy heart but still with a chance to compromise.

The first half of the first day even towards mid afternoon was fantastic. Bananas and dates only. Dinner, was difficult. But I thought another day was in order which I did accomplish by the way. However there were times that my body wanted

to throw up I felt so nauseous. This worries…

LOVING the black grapes, and bought about 5-6 pounds of them today! mmmmm! They are SO much better than white or red grapes, in my opinion! SO juicy and SWEET!!!!!!

I am pretty amazed that I lost 5 pounds this week, from Tues till when I weighed myself this morning! WOW! Will prob have some cooked vegan food in the next few days. BUT: I am working on incorportating 3-5 days of LFRV per week, and trying to phase out cooked vegan or gourmet raw over time. This is all a process…

Hello i want to move to Cairns in the near future, just myself and my two dogs. I need to suss out many things first especially an alternative living arrangement. I need very cheap rent, and i do not drive so somewhere convenient enough to get around. I am an 80/10/10er, so want to also find out from anyone who's in the know where the best places/farms are to get good fruit/greens/tomatos. I am very much into organic/spray free produce. I also dont know ppl living there (except for you…

I am totally loving black grapes for breakfast! So sweet and juicy! I had a pound for breakfast today but will try to increase that to 1.5 pounds next time.

Then, I brought a huge smoothie to work with me today: 3 bananas, 1 pound of mangoes, 1/2 pound pineapples. So good!

I had a wave of cooked vegan food this past weekend, including: vegan pizza, everything at a vegan potluck (I brought raw apple cookies), and cooked Indian food another night.

I…

Man this sucks! When I don't count calories, I under-eat! No wonder I craved (and ate) cooked potato today, I only had about 700-1000 calories for breakfast and lunch combined!

Hate counting calories because it reminds me of my ED days =( and I still get a little scared feeling when the numbers go above 1500. But then I remember that I know better and I won't get fat eating fruit. I can be idiotic and under-eat and crash eventually, or I can be smart and carb myself…

Chain reaction!

Not enough fruit = cravings for cooked food = eating potatoes = FATIGUE!

Oh man I could go to sleep right now, and it's the middle of the afternoon.

There's the lesson.

Going to make a giant banana/spinach smoothie in a couple of hours when the potatoes have digested.
