How to get a Body Transplant !

I’ve been making a real effort to keep off foods that appear to knock my health or energy levels back. As well as eating mainly low fat raw vegan foods, I’m trying to avoid or dramatically cut down on foods such as; fat, spices, onions, nuts, seeds, condiments and anything strongly flavoured. I’ve stopped having rocket. I’ll only have cabbage, kale or broccoli if they are blended thoroughly or cooked, otherwise they are hard to digest. The odd simple bit of cooked food seems OK (typically not more than once every week). I sometimes (maybe every other week) have non vegan food, but I do keep off dairy and meat. I try to avoid grain. I do still experiment, my latest is to occassionally take a B12 and a zinc supplement. I live in hope that my grey hair might return to it’s orininal colour – healthy skin and hair need zinc. I estimate that 95% of my diet is fruit and salads made with mainly salad leaves. My energy levels have been consistently high as a result of doing all this. I’ve had a constant desire to exercise.

I’ve been making a real effort to get fit with running and occasional upper body conditioning. When running, I normally just jog slowly, but I’ve been trying out some quite long slow runs and also some real intense lung bursting, leg jellyifying runs. A combination of doing these together with my diet has made a real difference to how I feel. I noticed it before, when I had times of intense upper body conditioning, but this time it feels like I’ve got a new pair of legs as well!

Imagine a crumpled bed sheet. Someone comes along, washes and irons it, then makes the bed again and pulls it all fresh and neat. It’s a bit like that with health and fitness. If you can find the right balance of super healthy food without adding lots of unnecessary ‘food’, and do some steady exercise and eventually some intense exercise, then it feels like your whole body is pulled into shape. By intense, I mean as hard as you can, or as fast as you can go over a given distance. Shorten the distance or the number of exercise rep’s if necessary. I’ve found that when you push yourself really hard it makes a real difference. You must build up to this gradually though, you don’t want to give yourself a hernia like I did 18 months ago!

I’m not any super human guy. I’m not even very good at running (although I am getting much better). I’m just a guy that went through a phase of being a couch potato. I had some horrible fatigue that totally de-motivated me and left me with no energy. It was often an effort just to get out of a chair or to stand up. Plus I had quite bad digestive issues – search my blog for more details.

I’m glad that I pressed on. I pulled the bones out of my diet and lifestyle and made what some have said are ‘extreme’ or ‘obsessive’ changes. The only changes that I have made are to try and mirror what I might find in nature. I am so glad that I have made those changes, I feel so much better.

I feel like my head has been cut off, my old body has been thrown away and I’ve been given a new one! Wow, now that’s something – a whole body transplant!!!

Excessive thirst and urination on a raw food diet

I have had excessive thirst and urination, it was quite inconvenient at times. Over a year ago I was also experimenting with wheatgrass juice and I significantly overdosed on it. My body went into detox overload and I used to have sudden desparate urges to have a pee. The doctor said it was probably a bladder irritation. If it was, then I think it was all the toxins (due to the wheatgrass overdose) overloading my kidneys and bladder. Also spices, onions, garlic and other strongly flavoured food could have contributed to this, the residue to these acts as irritants.

The following is what I think might be the explanation for my excessive thirst and urination, it may well help you out:

Excessive thirst can be caused by high blood sugar. The body is attempting to bring a balance in blood sugar levels and will try get rid of the sugar through the kidneys resulting in excessive urination. To give the body the absolute best chance of using the blood sugar for energy (rather than peeing it out) it is really important to have enough insuline that works. Any excess fat levels in the bloodstream will reduce the effectiveness of insuline. For me that level of tolerable fat is really low.

I’m currently aiming to consume no overt fat food for quite extended periods. i.e. for as long as possible keeping off: oil, coconut, avacado, durian, olives, nuts, seeds, etc. My energy and endurance are noticably good when I do this. My mind is much clearer. I don’t get tingling finger tips after eating fruit. Tingling at the extremities is a sign of poor circulation caused by excess sugar in the blood. I also feel much much warmer. Feeling cold is a sign of poor circulation.

If your blood sugar is high, then I heard an explanation from Doug Graham, it went along the lines of: ‘Eating more is like putting more fuel in your car when the fuel tank is already overflowing’. In other words, if your blood sugar high too high and you are peeing it out, then stop eating.

Keep off all fat foods for a few weeks until your body is has rid itself of all excess fat in your blood stream and a degree of healing has taken place. If you do ever have fat foods, then make it a rarity. For me it’s better to eat cooked food rather than any food with fat in it. In fact, I’d say the best way for anyone to start on a low fat raw diet is to cut out all fat food (and processed food) for a couple of weeks and still eat simple cooked food. Large amounts of fruit for you may be just too much to start with. Cleaning yourself out from fat is a bit like cleaning out the fuel delivery system in your car. Once you’ve done this, you will be able to burn up the fuel and then fill up again with a full tank of fuel.

Eating fruit when your fat levels are really low acts a bit like rocket propulsion. Your blood sugar doesn’t really spike much because your body is very easily able to use it for energy. This is the time to do exercise! Take your overhauled car out for a good run!

Chronic back pain recovery by drinking more water and eating low fat raw food

When I was in my early twenties I had a prolapsed disk in my lower back. An X-ray showed a thinning of the lower disk and I was diagnosed with spondylitis. The pain was often unbearable. I had very bad sciatica in my right leg and for about 6 months and had a slight limp, my right calf mucsle became somewhat skinnier.

I eventually learned that the major trigger for my recurring back pain was poor seating. Most chairs and couches are very poor at providing adequate lumber support. Once I stopped sitting in couches and chairs with no lumber support then my back improved significantly. I bought a really good chair that gave perfect lumber support, only using that helped me recover massively. However, every day for approximately 20 years I would still wake up with lower back pain. Before I learned to support and protect my back from poor furniture, my back often used to often feel like something was out of place. Occasionally visiting an excellent osteopath really helped me. On one visit to my osteopath, after I got out of my car I couldn’t walk or stand. After a little bit of manipulation I was able to walk. I no longer had an awkward twist and I started to recover. Every day for many years, I had to be very protective of my back. No twisting and heavy lifting. No prolonged sitting. No sitting at all in a couch for more than 10 minutes. If I broke this rule, then I would almost certainly have a few days of back trouble (if not more). I had to revisit my osteopath a few times over the years.

My recovery with water and low fat raw:
I read 2 books that really helped; ‘water cures – drugs kill’, and ‘Your body’s many cries for water’. I started to drink more water with a little salt (I have very little salt nowadays, since I’m eating so many greens). Drinking more water really helped prevent back pain, and seriously helped my energy levels. I was in and out of chronic fatigue at the time. Although much better, the pain would often come back though.

After a few months on low fat raw food, then my whole body seemed to start working properly. I became more flexible. IBS and fatigue vanished. After a couple of months, I noticed that I no longer had 10 minutes of back pain as I woke up each a morning. I can also now sit for extended periods, even in poorly designed chairs and couches.

If I eat fat foods, or cheat on my diet for more than the very occasional meal, then my body seems to grind to a halt, my brain slows down, I lack energy and if I’m dehydrated then my back might hurt. Eating fat food has a worse effect on me than eating plain cooked food.

In the bible it says, “You can’t put new wine into old wine skins”. It’s a bit like that with my back. Drinking more water, had a temporary effect at rehydrating my lower back. It was as though I was pumping up a bicycle tyre that had a slow leak. The bicycle tyre was fitted with a crusty old innertube that was inflexible, weak and couldn’t hold air. That is where the low fat raw food helped. Since eating manly low fat raw food, my back has actually felt like it has been renewed. It’s like I’ve been given a new bicylce inner tube that can actually hold the air.

I am now more flexible and stronger. I can work for extended periods at a low level, like when gardening. I can lift heavy items without putting out my back for a few days. I can be a couch potatoe and watch a movie instead of having to lie on the floor or sit in a ‘perfect chair’.

I now KNOW that the problem with my back was caused by, inadequate hydration, poor seating AND poor eating!

Pump up your bicycle tyre and don’t forget to get a new inner tube as well!
In other words… Drink more water and Eat More Raw! Stuart :-)

Recovering from fatigue, IBS and depression on a raw food diet

When I was in the middle of my fatigue, I was so low at times that I didn’t want to be alive. How different things are now! I feel fantastic!!! I feel so joyful and thankful that my health has moved forward so much.

On my website there is a links page with loads of other websites, book links and videos (I must update the links with some more exellent videos). I have read much more than these. I don’t agree with any author 100% but these are the authors that really helped me; T.Colin Campbell, Raymond Frances, John Robbins, Doug Graham, Victoria Boutenko, Paul Nisan, plus a few others.

One of the biggest things to help me was a pen and paper (a one page per day diary). Anything that could possibly effect my health went into this. I included; water consumed, food eaten, exercise, sleep, amount of time spent in the sun, any stressful times, and so on. I learn from others, through books, websites and videos. I even learn from unhealthy non-raw friends, family and neighbours. I pick up information and try to learn from others in any way I can even if I don’t completely agree with them. I also learn from myself through trial and error and monitoring myself. I still do experiment and make changes depending on the results.

I have still had a few ups and downs even in the past 18 months. The key thing now though is that I can identify things that cause the down times and I’ve learned to avoid them, or minimise them – this is where the written diary comes into it’s own. However, even in my worst down time in the past 18 months, I’ve felt better than my best up time when I had the fatigue, IBS and depression.

Here’s a few bullet points to help you move forward.

* Adopt the 80-10-10 diet in a cooked form if you are not yet high raw.
* Cuts out all condiments.
* Drink only water, green juice, green smoothies and nothing else – not even fruit juice until you are better.
* Drink more water, add a pinch bit of sea salt if you are not consuming a high amount of greens.
– drink 1 litre or more of water per day for every 5 stone of body weight.
– the salt is not for nutrients but rather provides some electrolytes in a deficient diet.
– I now rarely have salt, but I eat LOADS of greens in juice, smoothies and salads, that gives me all the electrolytes I need.
* Drink loads of green juice eg 1 litre per day of something like celery, pak choi, lettuce.
* Don’t eat wheat or gluten grains!
* Minimise other grains (ideally have none).
* Don’t eat meat, or if you do then only have it in the tiniest amount, eg as a bit of flavouring.
* Don’t eat modern pasteurised, homogenised, drugged up dairy (I went hyper for 3 days after coming of that).
* Keep fat levels REALLY low, have a few months with no added fat foods at all.
* When eating fruit, eat it RIPE !!!.
* Eat more calories earlier on in the day and less calories later.
* Eat sweet fruit earlier in the day and eat mostly non-sweet fruit and salad later in the day.
* Drink your water between meals, so that you are hydrated well before your meal.
* Eat melons on their own.
* Rest and sleep as much as you want, go to bed early enough so that you don’t need an alarm clock.
* Fast one day a week – only drink water (eg Thursdays night to Saturday morning).
* Forget raw gourmet and dehydrators, eat food as it occurs in nature and in the whole form (with the exception of green juice and smoothies).
* Have lots of large green smoothies,
- 50% greens by volume when crammed into the blender.
- I often consume 2 to 3 litres of smoothie for a meal, this is a large blender filled twice.
* Eat mono meals as far as possible.
- I sometimes have mono days.
- yesterday all I had was green juice and grapes – lots of them!
* Eat big salads with an emphasis on lots of tender greens.
* Exercise – You have to move! Walking is excellent. Get a pedometer and walk 10,000 steps a day, or go running, or cycling, or play some form of sport. Take it easy initially though and gradually build it up, even if you feel like you have loads of energy. You need to avoid getting injured or burned out.
* get in the sunshine regularly and boost your levels of vitamin D, or take at least 2000 IU per day of vitamin d3.
* take a multivitamin, and a b vitamin (containing b12) supplement.
- I rarely take supplements, but initially they may help you through any short term deficiencies.
* Do an alpha course http://www.alpha.org/ and become a Christian. For me, all these health improvements came about through my faith in God, accepting Jesus as my saviour and friend, and praying and fasting one day per week for 3 months about a way forward.
* and finally…. Gradually Eat More Raw!

If you do the above, then I would be very surprised if you do not feel any better. There’s good chance that you’ll feel fantastic! Until you get to that point though, just remember that you are precious and special. You are cherished by God who loves you and he holds his hands out to you.

with love Stuart

Vitamin B12 and Eggs

I know of no vegan animal in the wild. Herbivores eat bugs, grubs, slugs, snails, spiders and other creepy crawlies as a bit of flavouring when carefully selecting the most scrumptious blades of grass, tender greens and fruit.

Primates will readily devour any grubs and bugs. They often grope around on the ground looking for any tender morsel – whether or not it is of a purely vegan source. Of course the vast majority of their diet is raw vegan but, very importantly, some of their diet is non vegan.

B12 comes from the bacteria found in many of the creepy crawlies that most animals inadvertently end up consuming. In the wild, primates have good levels of B12 in their body. After a couple of years in captivity though, after eating a vegan diet provided to them by man, their B12 levels drop. This plentiful food source is grown in a relatively sanitised environment. The food is often devoid of dirt, grubs, bugs and insects due to man’s wisdom, his farming methods and sanitisation practices.

Chickens also readily devour creepy crawlies. They go mad after worms, slugs, snails, in fact anything that crawls on the ground. The creepy crawlies are their most favourite food source. After that, they love raw vegan food! If you want to see chickens fly, then try regularly offering the pulp left overs after juicing!

Rather than eat the crubs, bugs, and other creepy crawlies to keep my B12 levels up, I’ve chosen to occasionally eat eggs from our own free range chickens! I’ve eaten eggs raw, and cooked. What surprised me is that I’ve had NO adverse side effects from eating raw or cooked eggs. Even more surprising is that I feel I’ve been given yet another dose of rocket fuel to boost up even further my energy levels.

When I first moved towards a low fat raw vegan diet and away from fat, supplements, spices, salt and all the other non 80-10-10 foods, my energy levels were off the charts. A year later though, after 6 months 100% low fat raw without cheating, my energy levels were not as high as they once were. Occasionally eating home grown eggs has put me into top gear again and my energy levels are pretty much like (or better than) when I first switched to the 80-10-10 way of eating. Perhaps B12 has something to do with it, I don’t know, but what I do know is that I feel pretty good… for the time being!

I don’t like labels like “vegan”, or “100% raw vegan”. These set up most people for failure, as few ever achieve it. I tried it and I think I achieved it without “cheating” for about 6 months in a row last year. However, I feel better by backing off a little and allowing an occasional non vegan food, or simple cooked food into my diet. On average this probably adds up to less one cooked meal a week. If you are the sort of person who likes to give labels or put people in boxes, then you can call me a “herbivore” because the vast magority of my diet consists of raw fruits and vegetables.

My diet is still very high raw (approx 95%) and I’m into this for health reasons, rather than other reasons such as being a pure vegan. My main thrust is to do things as naturally as possible. We were given some chickens by our neighbours, and I fancied trying out the eggs, especially since I read about the potential benefits. I can’t remember when I last had eggs before this, probably a couple of years at least.

Wow! They are the nicest eggs I have ever tasted – even when raw! On Friday I had an omelette. A week before that I had raw mushrooms chopped up and mixed with raw egg. I found it incredibly tasty. I was very pleasantly surprised at how my body just said YES in terms of how it responded. For example, in Church yesterday morning I had this urge to go and do some press-ups! (I didn’t do them I may add!). Later in the day, I had to go running because I had my ‘running legs’ back (even though I’ve not been running for a month).

Yesterday all I ate, was a 1.25 litres of green juice, a load of bananas in the middle of the day and then a small raw spring cabbage for dinner. I felt really satisfied. Then after a couple of hours I went for the run. I went faster than I’ve been in years and that is despite me not going running for 4 weeks. My legs don’t even ache today. I had no food after the run. Today I was expecting to be ravenous. I had 1.25 litres of greens juice, 1 apple, and a few pound of grapes. I did physical work outside on my allotment and didn’t crave food. My body just seems to be working more efficiently, I feel fantastic!

My Dad is very seriously ill in hospital and it is very difficult and breaks my heart for him (any prayers are much appreciated from anyone who reads this). Incredibly I’ve been able to be very joyful and positive.

I’ve had a bit of a health issue which developed whilst on low fat raw foods in the summer. I had to use the loo (for a wee) too often and quite often suddenly. I’m sure part of this is the water content of the shear volume of fruit I eat, another part may be a blood sugar issue. This need for the loo issue does seem to be a lot better recently.

I can’t deny that something is very positively different and the only different thing that I’ve been trying out is occassionaly eating home grown free range eggs from chickens that eat alot of raw vegan food!

Kind regards,
Stuart :-)

How to open a coconut and get the meat out in 2 minutes!

As you can probably gather by looking at some of my other posts, I love coconut! However I need to be really careful not to over do it, because too much fat slows me down and can sometimes make me feel pretty rough. I find that if I have a quarter of a coconut then I’m fine and I still have high energy levels the next day, however if I eat half or more on consecutive days, then I find that my energy wanes a little. The reason for this is all to do with blood sugar. Higher fat levels in the blood slow down the rate at which the body can utilise blood sugar for energy. If you want to know more about why this happens, then type blood sugar into the search box in the top right of the blog page. You’ll then be able to see all my blog posts with the phase blood sugar in them, including this one.

If you like coconut and find them difficult to get into, then watch this!

Enjoy your coconut! :-)

An answer to prayer. My health recovery on low fat raw food.

Others may think that I’m obsessive when it comes to diet, however my health has been turned around to such an extent that I find it difficult to keep quite about how this came about.

Here’s just a few of the health issues that have bothered me in the past.

  • I used to get chest discomfort for many years, this often extended down my left arm. This has totally gone since I decided to eat more raw food.
  • I had terrible acne which has left very bad scarring on my back. Numerous courses of different antibiotics failed to rid me of acne completely and right up into my early forties I often had flare ups. It was my change to raw foods that finally rid me of the acne causing foods and acne. People have since commented on how good my skin is!!!
  • I used to get shimmering vision (migraines). This is totally gone with raw food.
  • I’d occasionally get the most agonising retching pain in my stomach that would last a few minutes and then just vanish. This hasn’t occurred since I’ve eaten a high raw diet.
  • Indigestion after every meal stopped once I stopped drinking tea and coffee.
  • 22 years ago I suffered a prolapsed disk . On a conventional diet, I recovered from terrible sciatica, a limp and a withered calf muscle on my right leg, however I still had chronic back pain for 20 years afterwards. I couldn’t sit in a couch for more than a few minutes without a whole night and usually the next day with back pain and an awkward twisted posture. This is a thing of the past now, and remains so as long as I stay hydrated and eat plenty of high water content raw foods. I’m now fine sitting for extended periods and I no longer have to assess a chair for good ergonomic design and adequate lumber support before I attempt to sit in it! I no longer wake up with 20 minutes of morning back ache.
  • For 20 years, I had unbearable rectal itching and used steroid cream for that whole period. I ended up having hospital treatment. I had some haemorrhoids removed – This didn’t cure the itching. I then had more hospital treatment where I was injected with phenol (a carcinogen coal tar derivative). This still didn’t cure the itching (but it really messed up my digestion). What did cure the itching though was eating more RAW FOOD and cutting out problematic foods such as wheat, meat and diary.
  • For years I’ve suffered with tiredness and fatigue. This became debilitating chronic fatigue. Low fat raw food, and cutting out problematic foods delivered me of chronic fatigue. It was an effort to get out of my chair, and I used to haul myself upstairs. Now I usually sprint upstairs two at a time. I’m back exercising again. I can run 12 miles comfortably (but slowly!) and do 50 press-ups straight off ( I would like to push myself and do more but I have a couple of old injuries that I need to be careful of).
  • I had severe diarrhoea especially after the above hospital treatment. I would spend up to 3 hours a day on the loo. RAW FOOD and cutting right down on fat and grain foods cured my IBS. On exiting the bathroom, I rejoiced and thanked God every time for a whole month!
  • For no apparent reason, I would sometimes get waves of depression coming over me. I also would often get depression after confrontation. A way of coping would be to bury my head in the sand and shy away from standing up for myself. Now I can give as good as I get!
  • For quite a few years I’d get recurring fungal infections on my face, a bit like gooey infected spots. These never came back since going raw.
  • For many years a had a very itchy left ear. I tried different drops and steroid creams, but I’d often be kept awake at night with unbearable itching. This went away after adopting a low fat raw food diet.
  • Cracked painful sore skin on my right big toe cleared up on raw foods. Also occasionally I’d get a little athletes foot, but not any more since going raw.
  • I had very bad psoriasis on my head when I was younger. I had to use very strong shampoo that burned my scalp and it stank. 6 months into raw foods and I decided to never use that or any other shampoo ever again! I don’t have psoriasis or scalp problems any more. My scalp and hair condition has never been better… apart from my grey hair colour!
  • I had a continual sore throat for at least a couple of years. This cleared up on raw foods.
  • 2 or 3 times a year I get colds and I’d get the flu once a year. I’ve had neither since going raw, although I did have a runny nose (hardly a cold) for a week after my new year break when I had cooked foods for a few days!
  • When sleeping, I’d often have vivid dreams and sometimes nightmares. Sleeping is bliss now. It’s like popping my head down in bed (not on a pillow – as I don’t use one!) and being tele-ported through time to the next day! WOW!!!
  • Could you keep quiet if you recovered from the above? I really have recovered from these and they no longer bother me at all, this as long as I stick to a diet that is based around water rich low fat raw vegan foods.

    As well as relief from my various health conditions I’ve had other positive benefits too, such as:

    • I’ve lost all my stubborn excess weight
    • I have so much more energy
    • I feel as good as I did 25 years ago prior to my deteriorating health
    • I’m much more joyful
    • I’ve become a stronger character
    • I’m taking on new challenges and commitments
    • I have a positive outlook on life
    • I feel much more secure in myself

    It seems that other people see me differently too. I appear to be able to communicate more effectively and make friends easier. I used to long for the company of other people, probably due to my own insecurity. Now I don’t need the company of others, but I long to help others and bless them. Before I was probably drawing on others, but now I’m able to help and bless others more.

    An answer to prayer

    This whole healing thing is one huge answer to prayer. For 3 months I prayed daily for deliverance. Because I often had little energy, I would lie down to pray. One day I was laying face down on the floor and I asked, “Lord, why do I keep getting this fatigue?”. Instantly the answer was there in my mind. “It’s because you have been eating food made by man, not food made by me”.

    That Word has kept me going and helped to guide me through the maze of different approaches to health, diet and lifestyle. Out of nowhere I became an avid reader and I very quickly learned that many of my attempts at following a healthy lifestyle were in fact contributing to my ill health.

    Now the way I assess food and lifestyle choices as to the suitablilty to my body is as follows:

    The more man does to food, then the worse it is for our body

    As far as possible, I try and emulate what you might find in nature without the use of tools, heat and machinery. I apply a similar protocol and try and avoid other unnatural things that can adversely effect health, such as personal care and cleaning products. Also in nature, there is a balance that we often loose in our modern lifestyle. We need things like; exercise, get enough sleep, live in a low stress environment, get enough sunshine, we need to sweat!, we need to get out of breath. I’ve by no means made it yet, but now at least I’m heading in the right direction.

    My prayer is now for you. Whether you believe in God or not, I pray that you’d be helped and that your body, which the bible says is a temple of the Holy Spirit, will be blessed and made whole.

    If you are blessed, or helped in any way by this or any other of my blogs, forum postings or videos then I’d love to hear from you. Just leave a blog message, feedback or send me an email.

    With kind regards, Stuart Porter.

    Encouraging others to eat raw food

    One of my pet hates is putting people in boxes, that’s one of the reasons that I don’t like to call myself a raw vegan. I do happen to eat almost exclusively low fat raw vegan food, but I feel calling myself a raw vegan puts pressure on me and others. It is with that pressure that some people may feel guilty for deviating slightly from their intended diet and the subsequent feeling of failure. A feeling of failure often stops people getting on and moving forward.

    I do get a little annoyed as well by the doomsayers who may criticise others for following a slightly different path than something that they pronounce as ‘the way’.

    Many say that garlic is not optimal food (including myself), yet I recently did a blog post with it in a recipe. So what! I probably had it then for the first time in couple of months. There are actually some health benefits from eating it, and if it helps you stay on the raw food then go for it. The same goes for fat, or even an odd bit of non-raw food. The important thing to remember is to learn how your body responds to all these various foods and do whatever is necessary to optimise your health and move forward.

    I couldn’t do much exercise during the 2nd half of last year due to my hernia operation. As far as I was aware I went 6 months only on raw food. I feel better now though. I’ve backed off slightly to 95% low fat raw, mainly for social reasons. I’m doing exercising and getting other areas of my life in balance. I’m enjoying things more than I did then. I actually feel healthier now (probably due to exercise), and I seem to be able to comunicate this message to more people. My objective is not to impress those few who have ‘made it’, but to somehow encourage the masses to begin moving forward in the right direction to help their own health.

    I’ve helped out in some schools recently, the primary objective is to get kids to eat fruit and salads, preferably raw. During one activity I had arranged egg mayonaise, on another honey. These are both often frowned upon in ‘health’ circles. However, 95% of the ingrediants in the activities are based on raw fruit and vegetables. We had kids who have NEVER eaten fruit before actually eating fruit and kids trying out their first salads. I was blessed so much during one activity when a child looked directly at me and said, “can I do what you do when I’m older?”!!!

    Travelling on a low fat raw vegan diet

    Here’s my first youtube video!

    I mainly eat low fat meals

    I’ve just had a look through my recipes on this blog, most of them so far have coconut in them. I actually follow a low fat raw diet and most of the time I just eat whole fruits and vegetables together with quite a few green smoothies and some green juices.

    I don’t often add fat foods into my meals, although when I do, coconut is one of my favourites, followed by durian and avocado. Most of my meals just consist of rather large salads and bunches of fruit, which doesn’t give me much to write about. I’ll do some blog posts of my salads as well and ‘try’ to keep it interesting!
