I’m regaining my momentum. Remembering that it’s not how many times you stumble, but how many times you get up. I’ve been using some old stand-bys for motivation (reading my raw books, reading blogs, etc.) but have also added something new – directly partnering with a buddy to keep myself accountable. I’ve put my...

I’ve made it through yet-another-1st-day on the wagon. Yesterday, I got strict with the ETL for Lent, albeit a little late. Parties over the weekend are my downfall. I know there are ways to overcome the difficulties presented by socializing, but I’m still feeling the effects of my very strong addictions to dairy, sugar,...

I got today’s subject line from the ETL support group. Sometimes you need to just do it. The phrase suits. It has been cold and rainy in L.A. again. I find it extremely difficult to eat well when I’m cold and damp. I crave hot starchy carbo-licious things with lots of sugar. This round...

I’m still eating ETL style. I’m still slipping a LOT. Not big slips. Just lots of little slips. For example, I like sugar in my tea. Ah, sweet sweet poison – I will kick you out of my life yet. One step at a time. First I will establish the Eat to Live habit...

I’ve been rocking the Eat to Live eating. It hasn’t been 100%, I’ve had a few treats here and there. In fact, I’d say I’ve probably only had one or two 100% days since beginning the 1st phase of ETL back on Dec.30. I have been increasing the good stuff though and decreasing the...

I’m not sure if I should abbreviate Eat to Live as E2L or ETL. I’m used to ETL ’cause that’s what I use in my non-blog jottings. I’ve encountered E2L on the support group I found. I wonder if there’s a protocol or not in terms of the social graces. I suspect not. I...

I’ve been sticking to vegetarian eating this holiday season. Managing to get in some greens lately. Definitely dipping into the treats however. That’s ok! It’s the time of year to indulge a little. Avoids that whole deprivation thing. It’s time, however, to detoxify from the deluge of delights. Now that this decade is nearly...

It’s raining. Hard. It’s 47 degrees outside. I know, it’s a balmy day for Ottawa (where I used to live). Here in L.A., however, it’s FREEZING. My fellow Canadians are laughing their asses off at me right now. I’ve gone soft . I have succumbed to hot veggie-licious soup and roasted veggies. Yes. I’ve...

I’m a huge fan of Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live. It’s the only book about a mostly raw vegan eating plan that extensively cites the peer-reviewed research literature. My only issue with the work is that the recipes suck (sorry Joel). The book espouses a lifestyle which is extremely healthy and it’s very convincing. ...
