Who, what, why??

My name is Jim and as of last night 9/11 I am 313.0 lbs. If you browse similar blogs you might have run across my old blog at 28 Days Raw where I lost approximately 42 lbs in eight weeks in 2009 eating a diet of raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts.

A couple days ago I had the chance to watch Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. In it Joe Cross had nothing but water and juiced fruits & vegetables for 60 days. In the process he cured his medical conditions and lost a whole bunch of weight. The film also documents Phil Staples whom Joe met while on the road. With Joe's help Phil followed a similar program and went from 429 lbs to an eventual 220.

I am again ready to challenge myself to do an intensive program to get my weight down. According to the film Joe started his journey at 309 lbs so we are not too far off on the starting points.

I will cut the soda-pop and coffee; herbal teas are OK in a pinch. (the 28-day raw challenge I did the last time was in February and I got cold) I will concentrate on juicing, trying to do as many 'meals' as possible that way. If I do not juice I will eat raw fruits, vegetables, nuts or seeds...the same thing but with more volume and fiber.

I will get some measurements tonight and do another post so we will have a starting point for this grand adventure. (posted)

I've technically broken the day with breakfast and lunch but I will juice for dinner. Let the games begin...

Edit:

I am still debating about the frequency of my posts. When doing the 28 day blog it got to be a chore to post every day however it was also a pretty good tool to force me to behave. I had to argue with myself pretty hard to make any exceptions when you know you will have to publicly fess up to cheating. However this time will be almost twice as long.

Only time will tell.
