Magical Chest

I thought I’d post an update about my diet!
Once I was comfortable with my raw diet, I got interested in switching to a low-fat raw vegan diet. In practice this means eating mostly fruit, some veggies and greens, and almost no nuts, seeds or avocados. I was doing fine on my high-fat diet but I [...]

Today, I feel like writing about something easy. Getting rid of heartburn is easy :-) I used to have massive, chronic heartburn in the past. Now, it never happens to me anymore. Here’s how to cure it:
Short-term solution: green clay
I’ve found green clay to be the best cure for heartburn. Green clay is totally awesome [...]

This post is for those who already want to go raw. I don’t mean to push this diet on anybody.
So you want to go raw? Here a few things that could help you.

I already stressed the importance of clarity in my previous post. Please go back and ask yourself all the questions I [...]

I’ve been 100% raw for sixteen days now. I went back to raw on Friday the 8th of August 2008.
Reaching Step 4
The date was so beautiful, I felt like going straight to Step 4 of my plan: no oil, no salt anymore. Which also means no soy sauce, no olives…
Trying not to lose weight

I’m three months raw now. As you could read on this blog, I’ve had cheat days, set-backs and even binge attacks on cooked foods, so I haven’t been entirely 100% raw all this time. But almost, and definitely enough to gain some experience with the raw foods diet.
I’ve decided to go down to 70-90% raw [...]

Help! My energy’s going through the roof!
It’s so much that I don’t know what to do with it anymore. I need less sleep, I’m not tired after lunch anymore, I feel like I’ve got a superpower battery inside. Despite of working physically several hours a day, I’m totally fit. Sometimes I can’t stand walking around [...]

I’ve found the ultimate exercise: gardening. That’s what I’m doing daily at the moment, my mother is late with her garden and needs some help.
Gardening is fantastic! It’s a versatile activity, you have to perform many different tasks, walking, pushing, pulling, pecking, bending down, stretching, carrying heavy things… You train all muscle groups, I can [...]

Hey I’m so glad, I just realized that my legs aren’t hurting anymore!
They had been hurting for years, I couldn’t see anything but there was something inside that was hurting. There were places on my calves I could not even touch. I suppose I had some problems with my veins.
I just realized that they don’t [...]

I HAVE to tell you about tango! I love dancing tango argentino. When I dance, I have a wonderful feeling of freedom and lightheartedness. I can express myself, express the music, express my feelings about the music and about my partner. That makes me so happy. Every time I dance tango, I feel in love [...]

Hi! I’ve decided to try a raw vegan diet for thirty days. I already did that for one or two weeks a few times in the past and always felt wonderful. I went back to cooked food for stupid reasons like an empty fridge due to a lack of organization… This time I won’t let [...]
