Here is a video I did about persimmons. People seem to have a natural aversion to them, so here is some info to encourage people to eat them. They are delicious and nutritious!

Water Fasting Mistakes

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 19:52:27 +0100

I was inspired to make the video below about the top 5 mistakes people make when they embark on a water fasting journey. While not everyone makes ALL of the mistakes, many of us make a few of them.

Because a short, intuitive, 4-day water fast I did was so successful, I wanted to pass along some of the experience so that we stay safe as we cleanse and have the best experience possible.

Are you riddled with thoughts of cleansing merely to lose weight?

Do you tend to binge on food in the middle of a fast when you get hungry?

Then watch below for more info!

Happy fasting! Be safe and be gentle with yourself. Part 2 of the water fast video will be on our youtube channel at:

RAW FOOD COLLEGE GUY!

Sun, 16 Jan 2011 23:40:33 +0100

This is part 4 of a series of interviews we did with Sam Spaiser of www.samsrawtruth.com. What intrigued me so much about Sam was his ability to be a low fat raw vegan (or in other terms, an 80-10-10er) at college, in Indiana nonetheless! What a great commitment this takes (never mind the fact that he is completely beyond the need for the typical beer and keg raging parties typical of campus life). For parts 1 through 3 of this interview, please visit our tv show at www.youtube.com/rawhealingpatch!

This interview with Sam allows us to being asking questions of ourselves such as:

What is the college experience?
What does a social life look like?
Is it necessary to conform to society's expectations of our diets in order to fit in?
How can we do a low fat raw vegan lifestyle amidst those who do not, or cannot even conceive of this?

Enjoy the interview.. and we wish you magical days!
