Cave Man Diet
I wasn't exactly in a cave this weekend but a basic outdoor retreat with clean mod cons in the lovely Derbyshire area of Cromford. You know! Where Arkwright's engine was invented (no not Arkwright from Open All Hours) history lesson later! A Crag away from Matlock. I was at the Venture Center for a health and fitness bootcamp.
Organised by a lovely lady called Claire Moore and run with the help of an amazing inspirational couple, Kelly Rennie super athlete and fitness model, medal winner at the recent natural body building regional championship, and her partner Paul Glazby, fitness and training coach, former DJ (does great boot camp music) and Bootcamp session Kettle bell trainer/leader. We did fitness bootcamp style, walked up (or should I say Claire led us on a route march) up every hill - yes every hill - around Cromford. Paul and Kelly believe in eating everything and anything they want whenever the want as their body will stay healthy and achieve its optimun weight and size.
Only condition is that you cut out certain things and eat organic pure clean food, therefore No grain, No dairy, No processed foods or other 'crap' 'rubbish', No transfats, loads of nuts and fruit and cakes made with these ingredients. Well I was astounded how good it was and in only 2 days felt great - even better than I usually do apart of course from the achy leg muscles. It could also have something to do with the nil alcohol, nil TV and nil computer, oh yes and the going to bed at 10pm instead of 2 am. I am after all a 59+year young in training for the 37 year old body to match the 37 year old mindset. You may mock but I am a product of my products and the beliefs I hold.
I am studying this further and introducing these principles into my diet so I can achieve my goal and in turn help more people feel as great as I do.
Remember! Be grateful every day that we woke up this morning! And that "Nothing Tastes As Good As Healthy Feels"!

Raw Live Food
I have just watched a video about live raw food. This is the fresh food that has not been processed, cooked, or tampered with in any way, or cooked at a low temperate to maintain the nutritional value it contains. The principle around it is that in this state fruit, vegetables, seeds, raw, juiced etc contain many more nutrients that can feed the body and that are lost when cooking or processing. I believe that when food is analysed for it nutritional content, it has to be cooked. Cooking changes the form of the food and is known to kill many vitamins and minerals. It therefore is logical to me that if they were to analyse raw food differently they would probably find other nutritional properties present. I am attending a seminar Tuesday presented by a lady called Chrissy White, who is an advocate of raw food and hope to pick up some tips about preparation and intend to try it for a few days and report back. I will post links to future blogs. Please let me know the sort of information you would like me to share with you as I journey back to a slim, toned and healthy shape.
