A Return to Writing

I have not blogged on this sucker in about a year.... maybe more. Why the absence? Life I suppose. I will say that in the last year my skin has taken a nose dive for the worse. I have psoriasis and eczema and my particular kind is cause by meat and dairy. Tragic cause I do love cheese. So my skin, my gradual weight gain plus the return of the pasta puff face has cause me to reconsider my life style again. To kick off a new season and a re-birth I am gonna post up some old information from my past. About three years ago I embarked on a 75 days juice fast with some amazing results.

So to the left is me at 170lbs (size 12-14) a vegetarian (more like a carbo-tarian) all puffed up on dairy and pasta. To the right is about three months later at about 142lbs size (size 8-6). This was beyond a shadow a shadow of a doubt the most amazing experience of my life. I drank at least gallon of vegetable and fruit juice a day plus tons of water. My skin got worse for a a bit during the fast but turned the corner somewhere near the end and was clearer than I have ever experience. Strangers would approach me and ask what my face wash regimen was because my skin was beautiful and luminous, to them I always said healthy food and dove soap. I also felt amazing when I was done. I'm sure that critics are now saying that I have probably gained the weight back but not only have I kept the weight off, I've actually gotten smaller, more muscular and leaner that is when I stay on the raw foods.

So this is where I am starting from I guess. I am going back to what works for me and I am fighting to get rid of my skin problem once and for all. The goal here being to eliminate all the toxic fat that is currently housing the skin irritants my body hates so much, re-establishing my raw food life style in a way that is practical for my go go go pace and share and collect recipes that appeal to my culinary love of food and keep me from wanting those tasty cooked options. Can it be done, can I change the course of life by just changing what on my dinner plate... lets find out... together ....
