ONE HOUR Kevin Gianni Interview with David Rainoshek, MA on JUICE FEASTING!
Latest Activity
Hello,
I was wandering if anyone might be able to refer me to a lawyer who practices a raw vegan diet or is knowledgable about it and who might be able to give me some legal advice regarding the acne drug Accutane. I just read that it has recentl...

I use the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer, probably not the best thing on the market but it was on sale at Target! The little plastic thing in the mouth section of the juicer popped out and I lost it, not sure if this is related but now it leaks tons of...

a couple things--
about the potlucks, i of course meant that NOT everyone is 100% but its still wonderful ;)
and when i said i would otherwise eat eggs/dairy i of course meant organic, free-range and probably unpasteurized,
and about losing weight, i meant the more weight you LOSE, not LOVE... hahaha
there are other typos too but these are the ones you might misunderstand ;)
nine days is fantastic. you have every reason to feel proud! thats something i learned that helped me to complete the global juice feast, was to stop trying so hard TO complete it, to let go of a number and feel good about every day, and to be okay if i stopped at any point. having a goal is wonderful, but feeling good if you dont meet that goal is essential :)
okay, well, yes, the lady of the lake is fairly wonderful... but i have to say more than the arthurian mythology ive always been somewhat obsessed with irish mythology--- i cant wait to go back there, i was homesick for it before i ever went there. so odd. anyways, i love the stories of the selkies-- do you know them? there are a lot of seals around where i live so i like to think there are selkies here too. there are certainly a lot of nature spirits and "faeries" in their own right, the land itself feels so spiritual and i love the old first nations history and mythology. i like to think also that some of the elementals came over when the people from the british isles migrated. do you have any mythology unique to austria? you must. i just dont know any! :)
that would be so wild if we were to meet!! hahah. do you have a plan for when you want to come, or just a wish? :) im in university as well (i study visual arts,) and im hoping that not next school year but the one AFTER ill be going on a semester abroad. im hoping to go to ireland, though that chance is slim, or at least back to the uk where i lived for a while; i love it there as well. but i plan to travel some as well and i would LOVE to see vienna. and meet you! haha. i kind of wanted to do a year abroad but dont want to leave my partner for that long. i hear you about the country/city thing... i mean, i do live in a city, but victoria is a modest size and its never far to nature.. but for next semester i will be moving over to the mainland, to vancouver, which is WAY bigger, to live with my partner, as hes in film and theres no film industry in victoria. im happy i will be living with him but soo sad to leave victoria, i love it here :(
we definitely have a good group of raw foodists here. i think because were on the west coast and some of the trends travel up from california. weve just had an all-raw vegan cafe / juice bar open up a few months ago, which i was working at and hopefully will be again in the summer. we also do monthly potlucks, which can bring about 50 people-- ive seen more. of course everyone is 100% raw but its still wonderful to see. ill have to find out more about the vancouver scene, but im sure its there. they have a raw food cafe there as well.
i know we have a vegan society here, with a "friends of animals" chapter that meets regularily. however, i dont go. i love animals, absolutely, but i must say my primary reason for being vegan is for health/environmental sustainability. i absolutely do NOT approve of animal torture! but if i didnt have the other bits in there, i would probably be okay with eggs or dairy, and as it stands i am NOT okay with eggs or dairy. i do however love bee products, but i have to look into the company and make sure theyre treating their bees well. i sat through one of the meetings before and i felt it was unproductive because all they did was bash non-vegans and make kind of unfounded points about how they were superior, and i didnt like the energy at all. it was very argumentative and confrontational. i have found through experience that arguing with someone about their diet or ethical habits will not make them want to change-- it will only make them defensive! once i started just doing my own thing quietly, people saw and started wanting to change on their own. the whole "be the change" thing is so true.
whew. my eating habits. this is getting to be quite a long note! hahaha.
the juice feast helped phenomenally. i dont not binge as badly, and, more importantly, ive stopped classifying it as binging in my head. letting go of this classification is so important. i did still eat copious amounts of nuts however, to my body's detriment, heh. ive gained back all the weight i lost on the juice feast, and more, i think. however, do not let this scare you off feasting, as it was my eating habits that did it. also, i never lost a lot of weight, only 15 lbs. one thing that i think is quite important is really keeping your calorie levels up, while on juice. i have an enormous appetite anyways ;) so on juice i was drinking up to 2 gallons a day, and having a quart of yam juice every day, which is the highest in calories. the more weight you love, the more chance youll gain back, right? i didnt want to put my body through that yoyo--- however it happened a bit anyways :p . to tell you the truth, lately ive been eating a bit of cooked food again (gasp!) which at one point i thought would never happen. ive been 100% for a year and a half, and i felt like i did such extraordinary cleansing and it was so beneficial to me. and then lately, ive felt like its taken a turn and has turned detrimental. like i said, ive always had a huge appetite, though ive never been overweight, and while i love greens most raw foodists get their calories from fruit... im hyperinsulinemic and i feel really peaky and off when i have much fruit. i can do a little bit of apple, pear, berry-- local temperate fruits. so, i tend to fill up on a lot of FAT... which is simply not healthy for a body, in the amount i have it in. so right now, im experimenting with having one cooked meal a day, or just simple veg, mono-mealing, cooked plain. its working wonderfully right now; im eating a lot less fat and feeling less craving for fats and i feel healthier. i love the raw diet and i might go back one day but right now i feel like this is what i need. :)
ohmigoodness--- dont ever get me started on the mists of avalon :) everytime i read it i want to paint a crescent moon on my brow. what an amazing book. i never went to glastonbury when i was in england (huge disappointment!) but ill get there next time!
&yes, ill take a picture soon ;) i actually dont have one yet!
sorry to fill up your page with my comment! hahah. bless.
maybe i should go in and change some of my wording... i still love apple trees but lately ive been identifying more with hazel... and birch and oak also seem to show up a lot for me. i am thinking of starting to go by the name of hazel. :)
haha, i just cannot agree with you on that one. ive had this debate with so many people, the lake vs. ocean thing, and everyone seems to enjoy lakes more... but i am a true-blooded west-coast island girl and i love the passion and brutality and all-encompassing-ness of the ocean. when i was living over in england, and travelling in ireland, i of course loved the ocean there but the atlantic has nothing to the pacific north west coast ;) hahah. very rugged. it sooths my soul, the grey and the stone and the damp of it. which reminds me, i really need to make sure i go down there more often. its only a twenty minute walk away but somehow i dont make that walk enough. :)
where in austria do you live? i was there a couple of christmas's ago, in salzburg, just for a few days-- it was beautiful, i loved the feel of it and im hoping at some point i can go back and see more of the country.
you get so many points just for loving faeries. they are my passion. i love fairytales of course, but moreover the faeries as a real, ancient race of "people," and of Faerie the Otherworld. :)
how did your juice feast turn out? or are you still going?
bless,
liliu / hazel :)
how is your juice feast going? how long are you going for? good luck!
