Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi All! * your name: Joe Postma * where you live: Calgary, AB, Canada * your age group: late 20's (29) * Are you are vegetarian (or vegan), still working at it, or still thinking about it? How long? I am actually a raw food-ist. I study and follow the principles of Natural Hygiene. This means the correct consumption of fruit (always ONLY on an empty stomach, preferably the morning since one should only eat fruit or nothing at all before noon - this allows completion of the nightly elimination phase of the circadian rhythm) and also the proper combining of starches with veggies OR protein with veggies, to allow the food to properly digest for maximum health benefit. I can tell you all about it if you like! You can eat as much as you want of healthy wholesome food and lose all the weight you want without exercising, though exercise will help get that extra 20% and help protect against cancer etc by stimulating lymphatic flow. * Are you the only veggie or wannabe in your household? How many others? My girlfriend and I are both into it, though I am better at not cheating She has cravings for candies and bad food all the time! My bane is this one Indian restaurant here in town...so good! Trying to get my siblings and parents into it, but the older they are the harder it is to get them to change If they think KD is a good source of protein, then KD is a good source of protein and that's that. Ugh! * Do you do the cooking or is it shared? The small amount of cooked food I consume I prepare myself - sometimes my girlfriend cooks but my cooking is better - we both agree on this! She makes better salads though, which is our staple. * WAIT! Anything else you would like to tell us? I also fast 2 or 3 times a year on only water for 7 to 14 days at a time. This has brought me immense health and well being, both physically and emotionally. I no longer worry about catching colds or flus or any other common illness - been free of them over 2 years now! If anyone wants to know more about Natural Hygiene and the benefits of eating raw fruits and veggies, or about fasting and elimination and cleansing, please ask! All the best, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
