30 Days Raw

Officially, successfully went through 7 days of the 80/10/10 raw food diet. This first 7 days was essentially a detox for me, bringing on headaches and some restless nights in bed. But — it was all for a great reason. Today, I went to a raw food potluck at Ellen Livingston’s home and enjoyed a ton of great dishes! My health is better than ever, I’ve lost over 4 pounds, and I’m sleeping like a baby at night. This is the way Nature intended me to live!

Just finished my 6th day of an all-raw 100% vegan 80/10/10 diet. Check out the video to see what happened, how I felt, and how awesome this diet really is!

Day 4 | 30 Days Raw Food Diet

Today is my 4th day on Doug Graham’s 80/10/10 diet. I was checking my protein levels and they were a bit low, so I picked up a bag of ‘raw’ cashews. I realize that nuts available in the US are not really raw, as they are flash pasteurized to around 120*, but it’s close. I don’t think there’s any way to find some that aren’t. Anyhow, I think I found the solution to my 3-day headache.

Watch the video to see how I solve the headache problem, and what a case of bananas looks like!

Today is my 3rd day on the 80/10/10 diet. Great day so far, learning a lot about a new food – dates! High calories, easy to consume. Good when I’m feeling full but need more calories.

Beautiful day in Ann Arbor today. Enjoyed some biking and hanging out with the puppy! Watch the video to see what happened to my headache.

Today’s been a hard day on the 80/10/10 raw vegan diet. It wasn’t the diet that’s been hard, it’s been my headache! Around 9pm, a massive headache set in and hasn’t shown signs of lifting anytime soon. Here’s today’s video:

30 Days Raw

Hello hello hello raw food enthusiasts!

About 2 months ago, my girlfriend, Kristen, and I came back from a 4-month bicycle trip through Spain, France and Italy. My (our) plans to go raw and live that way in Europe was cut short when we realized that we hadn’t a clue on how to eat enough and have the energy to cycle.

You can read more about our cycling trip here: http://www.rawandfit.com/biketour

When we flew out of the Rome airport and into Los Angeles, we were greeted by my brother, his wife and their 2 kids. It was a celebration to see them! We stayed 2 weeks before my folks arrived and drove us, minus our bikes, to Sedona. A week in Sedona, then another week with Kristen’s family in Chandler, we had a blast.

… but so did my waist line!

During the trip, I was cycling near 175lbs. When I came back to Michigan, I was up 20 pounds, to 195 — a number I haven’t been at since 2006!

But Wait — There’s Great News!

I moved into Ann Arbor, Michigan and have had a blast getting to know people in the area. So many wonderful people — I’m very lucky to have moved here!

I was surfing online and found a raw food MeetUp hosted by Ellen Livingston. I read that she had a lecture about Grains in a nearby town and headed that way. After listening more and more, I really started to dig what she was saying. She demoed a VitaMix 5200 (the first time I’d seen one!), and answered some questions I’ve been having for a LONG time about raw foodism.

She recommended Dr. Douglas Graham’s book “The 80/10/10 Diet”, which I read the week after.

Then I ordered a VitaMix 5200.

Then I signed up for her 30-day raw coaching program.

My intention is to blog by writing or video every day starting Monday, March 15, 2010, until it’s over. I’m curious to see how adopting a 100% raw 80/10/10 diet will affect my body, including weight, strength and muscle, body odor, eczema, and a light condition that’s been bugging me for the last 10-or-so years, dystonia.

I will post current body weight, resting heart rate, BMI, and any other measurement that seems applicable tomorrow.
