11th January, 2009. A day of two halfs.

Today was a day of two halfs. In the morning I ate well. Some home made coleslaw, some marinated onions some mixed sprouts and the last of the grated beetroot.

This evening was a different matter. I went out to dinner with family, one of us is going back to Australia on Tuesday, so I took the night off. I won't say what I ate apart from saying that it was Italian. I found everything to be very heavy, and my body was telling me to slow down eating, which I did. I didn't listen to my body when it… Continue

10th January, 2009. DETOX.

Morning all.

So I have just woken up and I am really into detox now.

I drunk about 4 litres of water yesterday and I woke up thirsty and groggy and my urine was far too dark for having drunk that much.

This smacks of a huge load of DETOX.

I have a rash on my neck.

Today I will not do much. I will take it easy and be nice to my body, drink lots of water, eat good foods do a little stretching perhaps.

I said from yesterday that I would be cutting down the size of my meals, and I will stick w… Continue

9th January, 2009 - Update + Detox

Hello, so this is an update on the goals that I set myself yesterday for today.

I did well with the food, but not with much else. I did have something new as planned, but not from a book, as the one that I have does a lot of refering to other bits and pieces that you would already of have to had made.

Today I went for a walk around the neighbourhood and went to a traditional green grocers in search of some kale. The most colourful green grocer told me that the man who supplied the kale died be… Continue

9th January, 2009. The plan.

OK, so I am posting this on the 8th. This post is a little plan of what I am going to do and eat tomorrow.

For breakfast I will have a fruit smoothie.

For lunch, I will have grated salad of mooli (diakon), carrot and some wakame, which of course I will not grate.

I'm not sure what I am going to have for dinner yet, I am going to consult with an uncook book and make something new.

Apart from that I will go for a runlett, give myself an enema, get my nose in a book for 2 hours and most importa… Continue

8th January, 2009

Well, I am not done with today yet, but I thought I would post a blog to let you all know whats going on with me.

Breakfast was a banana and orange smoothie, no nut mylk, just some water. I had some green tea because I really wanted some. It filled the gap so to speak, nopthing special.

I have just got back from a job interview and it was a dead end sales job in a dead end company. I am not enjoying this recession, and I am not enjoying people wasting my time advertising for "opportunities" an… Continue

Never mind about the job. Although it's hard sometimes, I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason and things work out if you can give them time.

How am I doing raw? Up and down, low on funds right now so buying extra fresh stuff just for me is difficult - but I am looking to the summer when my garden will hopefully be burgeoning under the weight of home grown produce!

Good luck with that job interview - you may have already been to it! Hope it goes/went well.

we're not just a body.

Hi Lola, From what I hear, cats can imprint more than dogs on foods and so whatever texture/flavors/temperatures they are used to, are what they want and sometimes they don't recognize different things as food. So, there are lots of tips on getting them to change (adding a little bit of raw, using ground meat, doctoring it up with flavorings/broth, searing it a little or cooking it at first and then cooking it less and less, warming it up in a baggie in a bowl of warm water, etc.). Also, I don't know if this is true, but usually people say not to starve a cat into eating it. They say it can be dangerous for cats to fast. Again, I don't know if I believe it (I think in the wild, they would probably have to fast occasionally, but it makes sense that less-healthy cats who are used to lower-quality foods/high-carb foods may have trouble? "They" say it can cause a serious liver problem or something.), but it's just something to look into if you're considering only offering raw to a picky cat that just won't eat it at first.

One of my dogs, we got as a puppy, and he had constant gas with every kind of high-quality kibble. When we switched to raw, that went away. Then we fed raw, ground poultry and veggies for a few years and he did quite well, but did have a few episodes of minor pancreatitis. Since we have switched to prey model about 2-1/2 yrs. ago and feed more red meat (what wolves/dogs are designed for), more grass-fed meat (instead of grain-fed), and no veggies, he has not had any pancreatitis issues. Also, since I eliminated veggies, his chronic yeasty ears he had for 5 yrs. finally cleared up. Carnivores can have trouble digesting carbs/veggies/grains.

My other dog we got from the shelter about a year ago, and he had dandruff, his coat did not feel good, he had worms, and he slept the first 2 wks. we had him. He transitioned to raw very well, dances for his food, has a beautiful, soft coat, great energy, and no health issues. I can't say that is all due to raw, but I believe it is the healthiest thing for dogs and cats.

Oh, and let me/us know how Chi Running goes--that has sounded interesting but I don't know that much about it.

Hi Lola, Congrats on making the effort to switch your cats to raw. I don't have cats but have been rawfeeding my dogs for many years and have come across some cat info. They are similar but cats can be more finicky to transition sometimes. My dogs are amazingly healthy, with wonderful teeth and great bodies/weights and super-shiny and soft coats. Feeding raw has been great for them and they love their food. Here are a couple good resources for cats:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rawcat/

http://www.catinfo.org/makingcatfood.htm

The rawcat list is the sister list to the 11,000+ member rawfeeding list which I have been very active on, but rawfeeding is more dog heavy. Rawcat is more about prey model (feeding as close to nature as possible) and I think the other one takes a bit more work and involves more ground foods and maybe supplements, but it is by a vet (haven't looked at it in awhile, tho). Gives you a couple options and places to start. Rawcat will have a lot of transition tips and you can ask questions.

Good luck.
