Title: PhatDave - Writing it down is just something I needed to do
Post by: phatdave on June 12, 2009, 09:45:59 pm

Hi, my names David Ashley-Cowan and I am British, and currently live in London. I recently turned 22.

The change to my diet and lifestyle in the past few weeks to that of RAF etc. have been incredible, but like most I find that because I dont 'have' to hunt for my food I unsurprisingly find myself eating honey sandwiches, smoking joints and drinking mojitos. Sure thats all gravy, but I'm old enough and wise enough to know that what goes up must come down, and ultimately me feeling crap the next day/next moment is surprise surprise, a direct result.

So, I thought to myself, "Hmmm, am I going to keep going round and round for the rest of my life?". I figure the only way to mold my otherwise jelly-like will into something of substance is to make a plan. Rules like this suck, but than so did having to hunt everytime you we're hungry - so it is a fair compremise.

1 Month plan:

1)Diet- Anything edible that is; ripe, seasonal, wild and truely native to Europe. (fruit/nuts/herbs/misc) + (land/water/sky/misc)
2)Exercise - Any exercise, but must be daily and varied. (crossfit.com is comparable)
3)Lifestyle - Think "would a homo-sapien be doing this?"

All the usual.

I will have to be constantly making compremises, but if cheat no-ones loses but me.

Someone once said to me, "It may not be the easy way, but its the right way. And thats why it makes you happy."

Well, I figured without a plan I will simply repeat history. So thats it.

Should be easy, I love this stuff :)

Hi Dave,

Something about your writings is too darn cute!

I don't know much about your motivations, but your goals are obvious.  (You're way ahead of me with those liver smoothies ;))

I look forward to reading about your experiences!

Ioanna

Hi mate. Good to see another Londoner on here. Yeh, can be hard to stick to it when you're craving for that sandwich...I've also just started tightening it up again.

Good luck.

Hi Dave!
How are you keeping?
Any updates on your progress with raw foods? ;)
What made you try raw meat in the first place?
Take care
