• Oh trust me, Girls. After 18 years of marriage and 2.5 years on a raw high, I know I need to come down to meet the omni. It means falling off for me a bit, maybe it’s 2 drinks or sushi, but I’m always making those choices and it keeps me from being …

• Capture-sometimes a raw meet-up or potluck can really keep you going. A new book or magazine subscription is another idea. Living Nutrition is a great, raw magazine and will take a LONG time to get through all the articles. I think it only comes out…

• I have experienced the “purple people” while marathon training raw and at that time i was only burning 1700 cals for that 16 mile run. I heard this guy is expending 4,000 cals per workout per day! It’s really just amazing these athletes in this part…

• For me that was an earlier process, but i likened it to scouring my intestines out. Allow yourself an extra 15 minutes in the morning and you’ll feel great when it all passes. Lots of water first thing in the am to hasten that process. i don’t think…
