It’s amazing that a month has already gone by since I completed my 21 day raw food cleanse. Now that I’m back to “normal”, I wanted to share my thoughts on raw vegan diets, after my intensive experience with raw eating.
First of all, I should say that the raw cleanse was a success. And [...]

As previously posted, my girlfriend and I have been doing a raw food cleanse. Well, today is Day 21, the final day. We have experimented with raw in the past, and typically enjoy a mostly vegan diet, though we do indulge in non-vegan and cooked foods with some regularity, but try to keep our center with [...]

21 Day Raw Food Cleanse
Sunday, April 10th, 2011I will be starting a 21 raw food cleanse tomorrow, also known as The Garden Diet 21 Day Cleanse. It is a big day for me, and I am excited as well as a little apprehensive.
I am generally pretty healthy, and this won’t be my first experience with raw foods or raw eating, but it will be the first time I am attempting to be 100% raw for 3 full weeks. In the past I did a month raw, but allowed for 1 or 2 cheat meals per week, which were anything from cooked veggies to a free range beef burger. I also cheated with a few beers and glasses of wine. This time will be different because I am attempting to not cheat at all — no alcohol, no coffee, and nothing even cooked at all. Just fruits, vegetables and raw nuts.

Diet overload, healthy choices, and which label fits?
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010Health and diet has been something I’ve been reading a lot about lately. I don’t mean diet as it pertains to losing weight, I am talking about diet as it pertains to lifestyle and being healthy. Until recently I have for the most part always eaten the Standard American Diet (SAD). While I knew there wasn’t something quite right about it, I never really sorted it out until now. (Though I’m sure it will be an evolving process, and my feelings are open to change.)
As I’ve written recently, I’ve been eating mostly vegan, and have even experimented with a raw diet in the past. But I have not sworn off of meat completely, since I do believe that we have evolved to truly be omnivores. That said, I do believe in veganism and what it stands for, and I do firmly believe factory farming is wrong (on many levels). [...]

The best, yet least discussed, solution to healthcare
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009With all of this raging healthcare debate lately, it seems that the focus (besides the cost I mean) is on medical care and fixing people. While I of course think each person has a right to have affordable medical coverage, I also think the priorities of our health care system (now and in the future regardless of what Congress comes up with) are wholly messed up. We all know that the majority of the money in the system is spent on curing and healing those who are not well. But what you don’t hear very often is the word “prevention”.
Sure, in some ways you do, as in don’t smoke, exercise daily, eat from the major food groups. But if you go to the doctor with high blood pressure, or any of the many issues related to obesity, the doctor doesn’t ask how often you eat fast [...]

Curing acne with a healthy diet
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for a while, but never felt comfortable sharing it. However, today I just decided that I will share, if for no reason other than to help someone who might find this page through a web search. So if you’re one of my regular readers, feel free to skip this one, unless of course it’s of interest to you.
I’ve been pretty lucky in that I’ve never had a terrible problem with acne. But around the early part of high school, I started getting some on my back. It was never terrible, but at that age it was enough to make me self conscious. At the time, I sort of just figured I was an unlucky teenager, and hoped it would go away as I got older. I never had any clue that it could ever be related to diet. So even though it [...]

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009
Friday, January 2nd, 2009I am not big on resolutions, as most of them seem to just fade in time. But from time to time I re-assess my life and try to make some positive changes. For this New Year, this is what I thought to myself this morning:
I will learn to speak my mind, follow my heart, and live how I wish to live. I will be healthier and be more moderate with my vices.
Pretty simple, right?
Though I enjoy my life, and am generally pretty healthy, I could really do a lot to positively improve myself as well. There are many days where I wonder how I’ve gotten to this point and what I can change to improve. Most of these thoughts center on my own growth, as well as my career choices.
I talk a lot about diet, travel, and other things like that. [...]

Eating a Raw Diet while surrounded by meat eaters
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008Let’s face it, changes in diet freak a lot of people out. Raw, vegetarian, vegan … Many people get freaked out by these terms. Many people don’t get it, and when people don’t get it there’s usually no point in trying to explain it to them. So to clear things up right up front, let me say that I am NONE of what I just mentioned, not raw, vegan, or vegetarian. However I do incorporate all three into my regular diet. I have been doing a lot of raw eating recently, and have always been interested in vegan and vegetarian. But I’m just not ready to give some things up, like Italian sandwiches, an occasional organic hamburger, teriyaki chicken, or even — gasp — pizza and beer. So needless to say, I am not 100% raw, and clearly I’m leaving room for cheating, [...]
