Good Afternoon, we found this really excellent colon cleanse related content an hour ago, I be glad if someone finds it helpful….

Cooking food is apparently bad for diabetics, even if it is vegan. Raw is the way to go.

I know that studies have proven that cooked potatoes cause blood sugar spikes in diabetics, and raw potatoes don’t. So there ya go, for whatever it may be worth.

Jeg har derimot ikke vanskelig for å se at det kan være en verdi, pengemessig……

During the feast though, it was mostly fasting sugars that I measured.

Chris.

Just to let you know that we’re still out here enjoying your ever reduced suffering (and people say London makes you cynical).

Have a good break.

Good luck in your journey.

Chris.

How the devil are you? Thanks for the congrats mate I appreciate it. I’m going to start back at TKD once I get my energy back, can’t let that go to waste can I? How are you doing? How’s life in blighty - good I hope. Whenever I do get back to England I’m going to be sure to see everyone, so keep in touch mate. I often think back to our times together at Jin Sil with happy memories - we did good work there my friend.

Take care, and may the truth be with you

Chris.

Like your other commenter, I too am immensely happy for your achievement - your indomitable spirit definitely shone through!

The video made good viewing; even though you’ve made it to the finishing line I’d be interested to see Juice Feast 2: Attack of the Prunes, and Juice Feast 3: Revenge of the Pith (see what I did there?)

Good to see you happy and healthy (and Cheryl too). It’s been too long mate.

Congrats again,
Malc

Chris.

Yaron - thank you sir. I hope I can live up to it

Neil - Thanks for your support and compliments too. You couldn’t help bringing a little carry on humour in there could you!

Mat - Dude. I’m going to listen to a Huey Lewis song right after this, just for you. It is 1983 after all

Thanks guys.

BRING ON THE PRUNES!!!

Truly inspirational. Us mortals need heroes in our lives. In my book you are a hero.

All the best Mark,

Chris.

I’m not sure that I could *drive* past a Timmy’s let alone go in and not be tempted by the smells if I was in the same position as you.

You’ve shown extraordinary control and I am truly impressed.

Please post any press pics you get from the local newspaper - although I have difficulty imagining you having lost so much weight, it’d be good to see Happy-Smiley-Chris..

Word to yo mutha

Malc

Still no really big dump as yet, fingers still crossed…

How the devil are you? Thanks for the support sir. I hope you’re well. Are you still TKDing somewhere?

Yeah, I’m almost there now, thank goodness.

You be strong too my ninja,

Chris.

Just wanted to add a (belated) good luck for this quest to defeat your diabetes demon. You’re nearly done now - I hope it works out for you.

Be strong, my ninja

As I type this reply on 20th November, I’ve lost about 20 kilos, or 45 pounds.
I now weigh 60 kilos, or 132 pounds, so that’s about 9 stone 6lbs

I’m gonna comment as I catch up. Looks to me that your light headedness was probably caused by prolific ‘Dixie Chicks’ abuse the night before!

“What just happened?” - No I’ve not seen it yet, I’ll go and check it out - thanks.

Take care friend,
Chris.

Have you seen “What Just Happened?” yet?
Neil

I had a look at your graph, very interesting to have so many metrics Sounds like Raw can get pretty smelly, but I think some of my green gas would give you a run for your money

Take care mate,

Chris.

I know I only did 7 days, but the last day RAW was the worst for cravings. Check out my graph.

No idea what you can do about this, other than gird your loins, but be prepared.

I hope you’re well sir. We need to hook up on the xBox n’est ce pas? Worms / COD / Soul Calibur - Let’s get it on

I’ve been a little too “makes jack a dull boy” recently, so I need to get back on and have some fun.

Thanks for your support too, I appreciate it.

See you online,

Chris.

Chris - I’m sure you’d never juice feast in winter.

You should try it mate - make the cheesecake version for the good lady If i can do it - anyone can.

I’m on the last day of my 7 days raw food. It’s surprising how you get into it. I think I may do a month raw next year when the weather’s warmer. I think I’ve learned quite a bit and it’s been a lot easier than I expected. Let’s see if I can try and get a lot more fresh stuff into my diet in between.

Keep up the goodness.
Mat

I’m all for the 4-means to get your greens, especially green juice (I call it Plant Blood) which I pretty much consume daily. It’s so good for you, as you know… getting such a concentrated source of fresh nutrients.

Best of luck with your Raw path… I love mine

By the way, starting on Thursday is a great idea. It means come next Friday, you can go out with a bang!

All the best,

Chris.

Thanks for the advice I’ll have to check out eye pillows. I’d forgotten about lavender - I’ll sprinkle some on my regular pillow tonight and see how it goes.

Delegation and forgiveness too - interesting ideas. I’ll work on those.

All the best,

Chris.

Are you any closer / have you done your raw for a week thing yet?

Take care mate,

Chris.

All the best to you Krash,

Chris.

Forgive me if I watch and wait while you go through it first though. I’m really chicken when it comes to my health, as I’ve had a couple of scares over heartrate/bloodpressure/diabetes now. I’ll be checking out the links you have out to the informational sites, and I’ll be lurking and hoping it continues to be an overall good for you.

To Your Health!

Happy thanksgiving back to you. As for being a cool dad, they’ve had to put up with plenty of grumpy - Oscar the grouch dad too

Thanks for your comment and for reading,

Chris.

Thanks for reading!
Chris.

Q: Could I have started the diet while at the mine?
A: No, not really, for a couple of reasons, the first 3 weeks of the juice feast is pretty restrictive in that you have to do an enema every morning to help flush all the toxins from your body, and working at the mine I was driving a 250 tonne truck, which I was basically on for 12 hours solid.
Plus there was a 2 hour commute in a bus too work at 6:12am, which would have meant me getting up at around 4:30am to do the necessary, plus make my juice for the day, and hope that I wouldn’t need to “go” again on the bus. In that first 2 weeks, I really needed to be within reach of a toilet during the mornings.
The other reason I couldn’t have done it at the mine was I was working shifts, 2 days, 2 nights and 4 off, so the night would have buggered up my body clock and routine, so another reason I couldn’t continue there.

I could have returned to work there I guess after the 92 days + a week or so? But that’s me, I suppose you could go back after the initial 3 week period, but I’m still having to do enemas every 3 days to make sure the toxins are leaving Sherryville.

Q: What are my sugars like during the day?
A: I measured my sugar this afternoon and it was 6.7. Which is pretty much what it was when I measured it during the day a few days ago. That’s a little higher than I’d like it to be, but at the same time, I’m expecting it to come down over the next 2 months.

I hope that answers your questions Mark, and I think as well as just answering in this post I’ll put up a FAQS page. If anyone else out there has questions - please ask. One of the reasons I’m doing a blog is to get information out there for people who want to help themselves.

All the best,

Chris.

Sounds like you’re still doing really well with the juise.

I have a couple of questions for you.

Could you have started the diet while you where working at the mine?

If not, how long before you could have returned to work?

What are your sugars like through the day?

Thanks,,

Mark

Thanks for the support and words of kindness. It is hard work, especially with all the good food I’m missing that my wife cooks, but I feel like I don’t really have a choice if you know what I mean. I need to do this, it’s a simple as that.

Going raw for a week sounds interesting mate, you could actually east some pretty great stuff on that diet, check the web (I’m sure you already have) there’s some cool recipes out there.

Me personally, I’m looking forward to eating warm crunchy food, a nice coffee, that kind of thing, but there’s no way I’m going back to eating the crap I was eating. It’s gonna be a brand new start for me.

All the best Mat, and let me know on here how you do with you Raw week.

Chris.

You’ve actually inspired me to have a go at a week ‘raw’ (I know, WIMP!), although obviously in the ‘credit crunch’(no idea what the name for the almost recession in Canada is)I’ll finish what I’ve already got in the fridge first.

All the best mate.
Mat

I was diagnosed in May 2002 with T2, but it got steadily worse and shortly after moving to Canada I made the move to Insulin. Prior to this I was on 20 units of Lantus a day (the long lasting one).

The last time I took it was August 31st, the night before I began.

Sorry to hear about your diabetes Mark. If you want any tips on natural supplements etc., let me know.

Thanks again,
Chris.

Sorry to hear about the Diabetes. I’ve been following your journey for a couple of days now and must say I’m impressed with your determination.

I haven’t read the book and don’t know anything about your routine other than what you’ve described…sometimes TMI

Are you recently diagnosed? T2 I suspect if you’re managing without Insulin?

My daughter was diagnosed with T1 in 2000, then two years later, I caught T2…they say that you should do things with your kids…I don’t think that this is what they meant.

OK, I’m overweight, eat poorly and don’t get enough exercise…”it” knocked on the door and I invited it in…From what I’ve seen of you, you’re a pretty fit young guy. That sucks.

I’ll continue to follow your battle, I wish you well.

Mark
