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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
