Raw Fire FIghter in Training

Date: March 07, 2007 12:59AM So I am a little over a week into being 100% raw after a week long cleanse, and 5 days away from the physical agility test for the fire department.
A lot of people (even raw people and frutarians) have suggested I not make this transition now, but I feel like if not now then when? I also think since I have been eating 50-80% for the last 6 months I need not worry about detox. Time will tell, but I believe. If anyone has positive experiences about physical training and going raw, especially in regards to strength and muscle stamina, I would love to hear it! Much love, Isaac Re: Raw Fire FIghter in Training

Date: March 07, 2007 01:02AM I figured I would past in some of my blog I already started on another site and catch up. The other site by the way is [www.veganbodybuilding.com]
PostPosted: Fri Feb 23, 2007 1:45 pm Post subject: Raw Training Blog Reply with quote So I am 100% raw for the first time in my life, started yesterday. I am eating mostly whole foods. A lot of fruit, some veggies, and will likely work in some seeds and nuts at some point. Maybe some sprouted garbanzos too. I am also about the lightest I have been in a long time, weighing in at a mere 155lbs. It is almost time for my fire fighter agility test (2 weeks) and I am going to ramp up training to prepare for that, and beyond! I am going to keep a blog of what I eat, what I do, and any gains I make here. To catch up, my first day was (after coming off a cleanse/fast): FOOD: 3 oranges 2 tangerines 4 kiwis 3 mangoes 4 pears 8 leaves kale 1 tbls cp hemp oil 1 tbls raw apple cider vinegar TRAINING: Light jog. _________________ Because being sensitive to everything makes everything better.

After the seeds I felt better though. FOOD: blended kale and hemp with some water and vitamineral greens 1 mango 3 1/2 apples 4 bunches of mache (green I had not tried before) 3 ounces raw pepitas 3 bananas 6 live flax crackers TRAINING: Fire fighter training facility exercises including running stairs with a hose, 50 lbs bucket training, sled pull, dummy drag, ladder lift, ladder pull, ladder place, fan carry and fan lifting. About 45 minutes or so. _________________ Because being sensitive to everything makes everything better. [www.myspace.com] PostPosted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 6:54 pm Post subject: Reply with quote Feeling good today, no headaches, and a strong appetite. Went for some raw pecan butter (about 3 servings) with bananas and had some stomach discomfort for about 20 minutes, but other than that a great day! My mom is here too, so that is making this way of eating a little more challenging as she wants to feed me... FOOD: 1 serving vitamineral greens 2 kale leaves wrapped around 2 bananas and 2 handfuls of raisins 3 oranges 3 bananas and 3 tbls of pecan butter (mom influence, ouch) 1 raw bar (figs, seeds, nuts) handful pepitas 1 shake (22g raw hemp protein, 1 banana) nut loaf (blossoming lotus) greens drink (blossoming lotus) live pecan pie (blossoming lotus) TRAINING: Fire fighter training facility exercises including running stairs with a hose, 50 lbs bucket training, sled pull, dummy drag, ladder lift, ladder pull, ladder place, fan carry and fan lifting. About 40 minutes or so. _________________ Because being sensitive to everything makes everything better. [www.myspace.com] Really good digestion today, although I feel kind of "heavy" or something. Maybe I was used to the light feel of fasting... I also got a little more complex with bars and bowls. Not sure if I need to worry about that, I am unclear on the advantage of eating singly, if it actually means I get more out of the food or if it is just easier on digestion. FOOD: vitamineral greens bowl of raw granola with raw nut milk 1/2 cup pineapple 1 cup melon 2 raw bars 5 figs 2 large bowls of kale with flax, avocado, garbanzos, salsa, cucumber 3 kale leaf wraps with banana and raisin shake with hemp, kale, figs and soaked cashews 1 head broccoli w/ almond butter TRAINING: 45 minute trail run 50 pull ups _________________ Because being sensitive to everything makes everything better. PostPosted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 5:52 pm Post subject: Reply with quote I guess I was feeling heavy for good reason, I weighed in at 161 today which is about 6lbs up, and I know that is not muscle gain. Maybe that is the weight of my active digestive system? Crazy. FOOD: hemp and vita mineral greens shake 3 oranges 2 Vega bars 1 kale, tomato, avocado and dulse salad handful raw trail mix large bowl raw granola with fig blended soaked cashews live bar hemp and almond shake raw granola with almond milk hummus w/ carrot and celery pecan pie a little nut loaf TRAINING: stair machine with 50lb backpack 70lb 7ft rope lift sets (5x8) _________________ Because being sensitive to everything makes everything better. [www.myspace.com] PostPosted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 7:42 pm Post subject: Reply with quote Got a late start today, then took a nap, and my meals suffered. Still feeling really good. No kale today! FOOD: hummus and flax crackers cabbage and apple hummus and broccoli 3 homemade raw protein bars (hemp, soaked cashew, agave, cacao) vitamineral greens young coconut 2 oranges 2 tomatoes 1/2 head local cabbage (between purple and green, tasted like kale!) apple cider vinegar 1 avocado handful walnuts (from Robert, really good, he is selling for cheap) TRAINING: 1 hour budokan stair climb w/ weight rope lifts _________________ Because being sensitive to everything makes everything better.
