This past Wednesday I decided to do an experiment where I ate my normal 100% raw diet but excluding condiments like herbs, spices and honey. Apparently it’s believed that these substances cause water retention.
I was aware that SALT caused water retention but I didn’t know about the other condiments.
I decided to try it out for [...]
Yesterday I was doing a set of LSE (the Lightning Speed Exercise) from Roger Haeske’s Lightning Speed Fitness Program.

Normally I just do them wherever I find space (I just did a set in our living room a few minutes ago)
But YESTERDAY I decided to do a set in front of a MIRROR (Andrew has a [...]
I get this question asked often by meat eaters:
If eating a plant based diet is so healthy then why are so many vegans still overweight?
It’s a GREAT question and it’s something I’ve noticed as well.
The reason why this happens is because most vegans substitute the VEGAN versions of the junk foods they used to eat [...]

This is the story of Echo, a woman who, due to an accident, must eat via a stomach tube.
She’s also unable to leave her house.
Despite this she eats a raw diet thanks to blending her food and putting it into her stomach tube.
Here’s her story (in her own words):

This morning I woke up around 6:15 am (not because of my “alarm clock,” Andrew) because I had to go to the bathroom!
I think this was because I finished eating at 5:15pm yesterday instead of 4pm. Lesson learned!
Today I finished eating at 4pm with some nice cherry tomatoes.
I started the morning [...]
Yesterday, Roger, Andrew and I had some WONDERFUL company over last night.
I say “company” so Andrew can learn the difference between having a party and company.
I want to teach him that “company” means that we’re having overnight guests that will stay at least a night.
The great news is that our “company” will be staying with [...]
Yesterday I got an e-mail from my Aunt saying that she wants to do better by eating healthier & exercising more.
She hadn’t started yet so I e-mailed her a few suggestions.
Here is what I wrote to her:

My best advice to you is to start SMALL.
Why not do a mini workout before breakfast each morning?
Here’s what [...]
It’s 21 days in 2010 and it’s also been 21 days since first coming down to Panama for the winter.
Last night I was reading the premiere issue of “The Chiriqui Sun” which is a bilingual newsletter I got from the health food store.
There was an interesting article titled “2010 and THE New Year’s Resolutions”
The article [...]
The “I’m too tired to exercise” excuse is probably the #2 excuse why people don’t exercise.
I should know, I use it!
Well since I’ve adopted my new “NO EXCUSES” strategy, I had to figure out how to get around this one.
Yesterday I felt quite tired because I didn’t get enough sleep.
Despite this I still did my [...]
Yesterday I came up with a system to get in my exercise.
What I do is Roger Haeske’s Lightning Speed Fitness Program.

I find if I do a mini workout BEFORE and AFTER each meal, I am able to get it all in no problem.
I think this can be a helpful system for those who “don’t have [...]
