DAY 48 -- HIGH CARB/LOW FAT RAW ORGANIC VEGAN - 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER

The blessings continued today.  Not in any particular fashion just generally speaking. It is wonderful to smile at complete strangers and have them smile in return. It's nice to wave to little babies, to help someone by opening a door when their hands are filled, to say hi for no reason, to simply feel you are in the flow of life.  To be grateful to many people you will never meet for their efforts in providing the necessities of a healthy and happy life.  To enjoy the weather, your job, your employers, their pets.  Just being joyful is a blessing in itself.  Do not underestimate the roll that a high carb, low fat, sufficient calorie raw vegan lifestyle plays in your life.  It is an essential element.  In fact it is the very first step on the rung of the ladder to whole life healing and health. Those who miss this step misstep every other rung.  Those who ignore this rung will fall of the ladder.  It is THAT important!

Durinarider, one of the voices in the high-carb, high-calorie life style has a Youtube video that is a must see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp8-Z7Qn3_0&feature=related.  I am having all my mentoring students watch this.  There is only one point I mildly disagree with.  His calorie amount stated is for MEN or women who are athletes.  Women who are moderately active should start their daily calories at 2000 to 2250.  I have mine at 2500 to 2800 unless I add additional daily exercise above my physical job. 

I had 60 ounces of water (not enough in this heat), watermelon, 5 cups of Banana-Citrus smoothie, 2 cups of Fettuccine-Alfredo with mixed greens, asparagus, tomatoes and sprouts for lunch, 10 dates, mixed sprout and lettuce salad ---huge one! with my version of Green Goddess dressing: 1/2 avocado, 1/2 green pepper, lemon juice, savory and dill.  Yummm!!!!

Cron-o-Meter stats: Unfortunately for today I was over on my fat%.  2513 calories, 81.1% carbs/ 12.6% fat (once in a while this is fine)/6.3% protein.  My averages are within 80/10/10.  The avocado did me in! LOL  Water:5073.5grms, fiber:74.9grms, sodium: 172.0mgs. 

Enjoy your day.
