Simple pleasure.. July 31, 2009
HEYooo!!
Today started out with sun shining again in full force…!!! =) Summer time!!!! I’m enjoying all my meals outside since it’s so nice,warm and I need some Vit D…hah =D
Well…we’ll move on to some lovely eats in a while… but I just wanted to tell you sth….
People here in Poland are so agressive when it comes to eating raw vegan…!!! Even vegetarian or vegan sounds funny to them…=/ And as a low fat raw vegan foodie …hah you’re an ALiEN in your neiberhood etc.!!! lol =P
Raw food eating here is ABSOLUTELY an UNKNOWN topic…!! I wish I could do sth to move the people ..to inform them properly and let them take part of the wonderful blessings we’re all meant to experience…!!! I’ll do this some day!!! I know it =D
But for now…well,have to deal with it!!!! But I cannot complain too much- MY PARENTS WENT LOW FAT RAW VEGAN with me!!!!!!!! They took part in my journey throuh vegan,raw and finally lfrv !!!!! Love them so much..!!! =D Mua =***
How are your relationships with others according your eating preferences(raw etc)???
Ok!!!!! And NOW LET’S GO ON WITH PICS OF YUMMMMMMMs!!! =D
Brekkie today ,obviously eaten outside, was a GREEN SMOOTHIE….(well,actually it turned out pretty brown due to the red leaf lettuce hah…) I haven’t had a Green Smoothie for quite a loooooong time hah!! I used to eat them very often at the beginning of my raw journey..!!!
But they are yummy,quick to prepare and nutritious!! =D
This one was made of: 3xnectarines + 3xpears + red leaf lettuce(300g) and coco water yum!!!! One nectarine was chopped up for a twist =D
On the side I drank the rest of the coco water =D yummmmmy-licious breakfast!!
Top..
After breakfast I stayed outside in the garden for some time ..it was sooo lovely ..warm and sunny!! All the plants are also soaking up the sun!! =D I’ll be posting some nice pictures of them soon!! So stay tuuuned!! =)))
Well…..then I made some strength exercise (1 h 30 min session) It was great!! And I was absolutely hungry after that haha!! =D
So I moved on to LUNCH!!!!
My order from ORKOS (the company that sells exotic fruits =D) was delivered a few days ago so…I have lots of AMAZZZING PRODUCE here now…=D
I whipped up ….. VANiLLA CUSTARD with FiGGY JELLY !!!! =DDD
Sounds delicious,right..?? =)
It consisted of a CUSTARD made with 2 BiG WHiTE SAPOTEs !!!!! They were soooooooooo ripe I could barely peel them …!!
And the FiGGY JELLY…just Caromb figs squeezed into jelly form….=D
Here you are……… (IT WAS INSANELY YUMMMMMMMM!!!)
Mmmmm….
Eaten in the sun…=) Double pleasure…=)))
Have you ever tried WHITE SAPOTE??? They taste like VANILLA CUSTARD!!!!!!!!!! Yummmoooo =D and each one is slightly different in taste hah =D amazzzzinf fruties…=)
Well,I read a bit after lunch and then exercised another 1h 30 mins,again with strength training..NEED TO BUiLD SOME MUSCLES!! =D yay!!
And then…..I got hungry again so I needed something JUiCY and FRESH for DiNNER…here we go….
The simplest and the best ..one of my favs..=)

The New FRUiTY Beginning July 24, 2009
Heyoo dear Friends!!!
Here’s Agnes, a girl from faaar away Poland/Europe..!! I’ve just had my breakfast on 12th July an it was the 19th one!! So I’m 19 now and an official adult haha…but feel so girly and innocent =P
This blog is gonna show my NEW WAY of living =) I used to write another one some time ago (www.agnesworldofveganpleasures.blogspot.com) but since that time my life has changed a lot….
So I decided to make a FRESH START,like they say =)
Sth more bout myself..
I’ve been a vegetarian from my 13th birthday..I could never ever understand why people eat animals while having some of them in their houses (cats,dogs,rabbits,etc.) !!!! It was really strange for me and I refused to eat meat from that time.
Then as the times passed.. I’ve been reading and researching more and more into the veg topic..and some day I knew – vegan is the right way. Animal suffer for the cheese and yoghurt I eat just like for the meat-that was my thought and I made an overnight decision =) (that’s my style hah!!)
I used to have a time in my vegetarian life when I really have been the Dairy Queen..it’s a shame for me now but that’s true..=/
This dairy addiction gave me major problems with yeast infections,skin issues etc…. after going vegan it only got worse..sth was wrong,I knew it. But I also knew vegan is the right way…
I’ve eaten tons of cooked grains with veggies,soy yoghurts at first…then I concentrated on GRAINS,nuts,veggies…I used to bake lots of “healthy” vegan muffins,cookies, also my own bread… but my health only was getting worse..and I really did not know WHY..!!
And then in August last year….after another deep research ..I switched to the Raw Vegan way ….
Living in Poland,I only had access to all the infos via Internet…so I went straight up the Gourmet Raw style hah..=P
My digestion got better…really,it felt great. I used to suffer a lot from indigestions on cooked vegan… at first it felt generally great…but then again…everything got worse and worse ….my skin was covered with eczema,itching etc.. I’ve been getting lots of hives throughout the day no matter what I ate..
You can see on my previous blog how my diet used to look like heh…it’s been a full fat gourmet style =)
And suddenly in April/May this year I found my help.
Fresh fruits and veggies… simple,right?? That’s how it should be..!! I discovered the LOW FAT RAW VEGAN lifestyle and knew it’s love at first…bite =D !!
The 80/10/10 Diet by Dr.Doug Graham opened my eyes…it eplained to me why I’ve suffered so much for the last years…it’s been a light in the dark tunnel…
I want to thank Dr.Doug for all the support he gave and still is giving me =) And for the information and knowledge he provides..=) It’s the best thing!!
I also want to thank ALL those wonderful people from the awasome FORUM 30 BANANAS A DAY !!! =) You are my inspiration and my help,thank you all!!
Well,if you want to know more bout my story…just write : martinka122@wp.pl =)
Now I’m still on my way to full health..constantly moving forwards without looking back..I have some hard times too but I know it’s just a while..everything needs time and I’ll give me this needed time =)
This blog is gonna show how my my life as a LOW FAT RAW VEGAN looks like these days…=)
I really hope you’ll enjoy it and maybe some will also get sth to think bout …who knows..? =)
Well,that’s all for this Hello Post,I think!! Hope you’re not bored hah =D
So “see” you in the next post,Friends!!
