Hi! My name is Bj. I am interested in learning more about the 30BAD and 811 lifestyle. In recent years I have recovered myself from multiple health ailments from experimenting with diets and supplements. Gluten and dairy free were the most helpful diet changes I have made. Getting rid of these took care of my bloating, inflammation, water retention, gastro issues, acne, sciatica, joint pain and a lot more. I quit smoking cigarettes and all other 'drugs' (e.g. medications) a year and a half ago. I gained a lot of weight since and need to get it off. Being on this 'restricted' diet vegan eating came quite naturally. I had a feeling it would be the end result and here I am. I would like to move into a 100% vegan and minimum mostly raw diet but feel I need support. I also have specific lifestyle challenges that I would like help addressing. I am going through a difficult transition in life right now and what better time to make this change as well?? I have two kids, two dogs and a cat. They are all eating healthier too. I don't know why my profile pic is sideways btw....

The best book I ever read was The Zanzibar Chest by Aiden Hartley. I also enjoy the author Nadine Gordimer.
The Frugivore started this site to bring together frugivores across the Globe! Let us know what high fruit assistance do you need?
I'm at the beginning and I am not sure you can help with what I need! One of my biggest challenges right now is my weight. I gained a lot of weight over the past 5 years after having my second child via csection and several foot surgeries, IBS, Hashimoto's disease, sciatica, and other problems, and of course the SAD diet or various versions of it. Now I have to get the weight off. I am having trouble getting the self confidence to put myself out there with the raw and vegan groups because of my weight. I have about 50 lbs to lose.

Hey, they say silver hair is a mark of wisdom, so I guess you just got your upgrade way earlier than most folks ;)
Thanks for the tips. I've passed em on.
Hi, Bj. Would you mind sharing some details about your recent before and after hair colorization? It looked nice before, but that is an attractive darker color too.
I ask because I know a seasoned lady who's interesting in darkening her hair as well.
May I ask what exact products you used, the application process, and how you determined what color would result so you knew you'd be happy? How long do you expect it to last before it grows out and/or you need to reapply?
Thanks :)
