There’s a CONTROVERSIAL debate still raging in the low fat raw world. There are many who believe that it’s impossible to gain weight on a low fat raw diet.
Yes it’s much harder to do so but it’s not IMPOSSIBLE.
I learned this lesson the HARD way.
My companion, Roger Haeske, wrote his thoughts on the topic on [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
I’m sure you wondering why I stopped eating dinner. Well I have a good reason!
I had to stop because I noticed that eating dinner was causing a few undesired side effects.
Because I eat a water rich, 100% raw diet based primarily on juicy fruits, eating a late dinner causes a side effect that was interfering [...]
Andrew and I are getting settled in Panama. Roger will be here this FRIDAY! YAY!
He had some last minute things to take care of in “The Garden State”
The good news is he found his dear Katie cat a home!
So while Roger has been taking care of some last minute stuff, Andrew and I have been [...]
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 [...]
Sorry it’s been SOOOOOOOOOO LONG. As I mentioned in a previous post, my son, Andrew and my beau, Roger Haeske, were leaving for a trip to Oregon. We also visited Northern California and MAUI!
I will tell you more about the trip later (it was FABULOUS)
Well I’m sure you’re curious to see the video of Andrew [...]
