What brought me to 30BaD is a friend of mine at work that is fully living the lifestyle for 3 years now. We spent a lot of time talking about our experiences, our struggles to recover our health, and our up and downs with our toxicity from previous diets and destructive behaviors, but I am really convinced now that there is no other way to live our lives to the fullest than low fat vegan. I had joined him 2 years ago on a 100% raw food journey but I've deviated after 6 months and mostly I think due to the Gourmet Raw Food we were preparing (way too much fat). I've started again to regain my sanity and control over my depressed mind and overweight body by reading Dr. Graham, Dr. McDougall, and Dr. Furhman's books and I slowly became really aware of the destructive power of the fat. A month ago, I've decided to give 8-1-1 a try and my body gave me immediate and accurate positive feedback. Then I remember my friend talking about this community and last night I've watched some of the videos of DR and Freelee on YouTube and I was convinced on the spot!!!! WOW - That is the life I want for myself and my family, especially my 4 YO daughter: Life of Abundance, Lots of clean Energy, mental clarity and hapiness, global awareness with mother earth and our being! My wife and I decided to put aside the cooked vegan meals and started today on High Carbs LFRV. What a better way to kick it off this journey by joining this great community!

The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
I am using CRON-o-meter, and definitively I will have to find ways to increase my intake of fruits. I did a 14 miles mountain bike ride this morning with my friend (it is a good challenge for my fitness level) and after eating 10 cups of watermelon, 2 cups of raspberries and 2 cups of blueberries, I am around 750Kcal !!! I will definitively need 30BaD !!! By joining this site, I think the assistance will be there by itself :)

I only use an 'extended zoom' canon (SX130is) nothing fancy and definitely not a SLR ;)
I drowned 3 cameras last year and go to some 'interesting' places, so DSLR's would be unsuitable and too expensive
I enjoyed listening to ccr & mad world on your profile :)
Discus,
Thank you, If you lived here than you know that it can be isolating. Although the area is getting better each year. There is now a raw vegan restaurant in hull now. " La belle vert''.
sounds like I found the right place be.
Cheers,
Allan
Thank you for your support, Fred! I really appreciate it. Sometimes we just need to hear some positive words to get us back on track.
