Three Months Down mainly Raw

Well everyone it has been three months since I started my journey living mainly raw.  I have experimented with meat and some animal by-products over these three months just to really see any side effects and how they made me feel in general.  I would have to say they made feel like crap not only did I feel sluggish and weak compared to when I just have my raw fruits and veggies, I felt clouded and well dazed I guess you could say.  I know now that Raw fruits and veggies and the occasional assortment of soaked nuts and super foods is the best lifestyle choice for me.  If I have realized anything is that consuming enough food for your energy level and endurance as well as your metabolism.  The best way I could suggest doing this is by juicing or making smoothies.  Personally though I love making a huge salad at night during the day I usually have my juice or smoothie.  I'm still kind of in a weight loss lull but I'm also gaining a lot of lean muscle and trying to lose abdominal fat which is the hardest.  I have not gained weight back however and that is awesome.  I'm starting to get an actual physique and needless to say it has been most of my life where I have not had one so I'm ecstatic on the transformations so far.  I will continue to do this and totally going to increase Raw intake
go from 80% to 90% and remove the meat/animal products.  I also still need to strive to do a long juice feast.
I hope those of you that follow me here and on twitter are trying something like this for yourselves, if not then consider it for the future.   This is not only a way of life just for weight loss but for amazing healing and enrichment of your overall health, an increase in strength, wisdom, spirituality, love, and other awesome benefits.

God Bless and Best Wishes.

GrapeFruit: Love it or Hate it

This tasty citrus has a lot of properties too it that makes it delicious and tart.  However it also has some properties that can make it work against antibiotics and other prescription medications therefore many people are unable to dine on this delectable essence of this citrus variety.  As a child many kids sprinkled sugar on there grapefruits as most times they were to tart to eat plain even I remember doing this.  We tend to prefer food that is sweet or salty that is just a normality for most of the human race if not all.  So when we come across something that is too sour or tart we tend to combat this with something sweet, when something is too bland to our palate we tend to use salt to enhance the flavor.  I for one have always liked to dine on grapefruit but no more sugar for me the taste is full, juicy and satisfying maybe you just get used to certain foods with age.  I hope you can enjoy this citrus and if not oranges are always great anytime.  These wonderful fruits that came to us via marrying pomelo's and oranges are naturally low in calories, high in insoluble fiber and really have a great kick of Vitamin A and the Ruby Red varieties also give us a nice shot of Lycopene.  As well this citrus packs a good source of iron, folate, calcium and other beneficial nutrients.  So get out there and grab some of these tarty yet nutritionally packed fruits now.
