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 morning I was packing Andrew’s lunch as he was going on an adventure with his new babysitter, Analida.
I was so impressed at how beautiful his lunch looked–it got me thinking of the lunches I ate when I was his age.
I was born in 1979 and so was the “Happy Meal.” Mickey Dees decided that [...]
I found this article that I wrote back in April 2009–Bocas Del Toro, Panama Adventure! We were living in Uvita, Costa Rica at the time.
It really sums up well why we love it here in Panama so much.
I hope you enjoy reading it!
Love, Karmyn

I know I was supposed to write today another excuse as to why people don’t exercise, but I felt the need to address this excuse:
“I don’t want to have to go food shopping for fresh fruits and vegs two or three times a week. I like going to the store weekly or monthly.”
My answer:
GROW UP! [...]
So Andrew and I have been in Panama for a week now (Roger will be joining us next week) and we´re getting settled into our new home.
Things are going great except for two little things:
1. The internet´s working at home.
A technician was supposed to come yesterday, but didn´t show up–he´s scheduled to come Monday morning [...]

So Monday I posted an article on how I joined that group of GAINERS.
You know that LARGE (pun intended) group of people who gain the weight back after losing it (I gained 16 pounds from my lowest weight on low fat raw–as of Monday I weigh 133lbs).
Well I shouldn’t feel TOO BAD. I mean if [...]
So I weighed myself this morning and realized that I was 133lbs! Ouch!
At my lowest point eating low fat raw I weighted 117lbs!
So what am I doing wrong?
Well I’m making the same mistake that causes 99% of dieters to get fat again:
I’m eating the foods that made me gain weight in the first place!
Last year [...]
I woke up around 8 this morning (well ANDREW woke me up at 8 this morning!) to see that it started snowing here in the Garden State.
I knew that there was supposed to be a snowstorm this weekend so yesterday morning Andrew and I went food shopping to stock up on some supplies.
We bought tons [...]
Yesterday Andrew and I took a trip on two choo choos (one train, one subway) to Manhattan to attend a low fat raw vegan thanksgiving party.
We found out about it on 30 Bananas A Day! A social network site for low fat raw vegans: http://www.30bananasaday.com/
There must have been over 20 guests there, all low fat [...]
