After eating raw foods for 30 days, I learned a few things about the raw food lifestyle. These are more of the technical aspects of eating raw. Since I’ve had a couple of you e-mail me about the raw food diet experiment, I decided to make a separate post detailing some of the things I [...]

A few of you, who followed the Raw Food Diet Experiment, have asked me questions on how to start becoming raw foodists. Although I am no longer on the 100% raw foodist path (I’m currently at 70-80% raw foods), I have walked it and I have a few suggestions in mind. Rather then respond to each e-mail individually, [...]

While on the raw food diet I had some strong cravings for cooked food (meat in particular) and I wanted to find out why. My research lead me to believe cooked food is addictive. It’s like a drug, but almost no one realizes this because we eat it every day. It’s like drinking coffee every [...]

As you know, I made it the entire 30 days on the Raw Food Diet. The last few days were particularly rough. I really had to battle my cravings using everything I had. Today I was relieved that I could give in to the temptations, but had some reservations about eating cooked food again. My primary [...]

I’ve made it to Day 30! Whew! What a ride. That’s 30 full days of raw food and sticking with it was not easy. It’s probably one of the toughest things I’ve done in my life, mostly due to the discipline I had to exercise in order to keep myself from eating cooked foods. I’m [...]

I woke up to the sound of the alarm today. I felt a little tired and I didn’t have the energy I usually have. After taking my measurements, I went and made breakfast. I kind of wanted to pop open a box of cereal and eat it with some soy milk. I just kept staring [...]

Sleeping a total of 5 & 1/2 hours, I woke up 30 minutes before the alarm clock rang. I felt refreshed and wide awake. I handled the hygiene and took my measurements. I’ve noticed that my weight has stopped dropping so dramatically and even though I’m still losing weight, it’s in very small increments. I think I’ve [...]

I beat the alarm clock today, waking up 10 minutes before it was supposed to go off. After getting out of bed I wanted to go to the kitchen and drink some soy milk. I had this insatiable thirst for it. I figured I would be fine after eating breakfast, but the craving stayed with [...]

Today started out kind of hectic. I woke up 20 minutes later than usual. The power went out in the middle of the night and the incident reset my alarm clock. I sleep in a pitch dark room and cover my alarm clock with a piece of cloth every night before I go to bed. [...]

My alarm clock woke me up this morning while I was in the middle of a lucid dream. If you are not familiar with the lucid dream – it is a dream where you are aware that you are dreaming. Not only that, but you can control your dream’s environment and where your dream is [...]
