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 [...]

You’ve GOT to watch this video:

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 [...]
You have to watch this video when you get a chance!
Before I show you where you can watch this video let me tell you about our little adventure yesterday.
Roger, Andrew and I went to Puerto Armuelles which is this port town in Panama that’s near the Costa Rican border.
It’s so CLOSE. How close? Well let [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
