<strong>Fast Asleep</strong>
<strong>Fast Asleep: 1991-2012</strong>
<p>
Headaches, depression, digestive issues, lack of energy, and eventually
unprovoked anxiety/panic attacks. This was the norm for me for most of
my life. I ate a standard diet including fast food with meat always
being the main portion whether going out or cooking at home.

Eventually I became lactose intolerant due to antibiotics but that was
only a minor inconvenience, and did not always stop me from consuming
only a minor inconvenience. It did not always stop me from consuming
things anyways. I had tried the pills which are supposed to help but
didn't notice any difference. This didn't phase my diet though, just
had to ask for "no cheese" and stop drinking milkshakes.

What finally hit me hard enough to start changing things was the panic
attacks and an itchy mole that had to be surgically removed. By this point
in my early 20s I was already plenty skeptical of things like organized
religion and businesses profiting off of people, but it started to occur
to me that there were not many facts about health in my knowledge bank.

When I looked in the mirror to see my eyes dilating frantically and body
feeling shaky and nervous when simply resting or eating a meal I knew that
something was wrong. Then it occurred to me: "Why would God or Evolution
ever produce a species that thinks of itself as so advanced, but has
so many health issues that they consistently die prematurely or suffer
chronically?"

<strong>Waking Up</strong>

This lead me into a more nature-based approach to my lifestyle. Obvious
things such as soda and candy were eliminated first. Next was fast food.
By the end of it I had eliminated "food" such as meat as well since I
admitted that if I was living in the wild, I wouldn't be able to kill
a cow with my bare hands or teeth, much less chew on its raw carcass.

At this point my meals were mostly fruit and vegetables. I didn't really
know what I was doing though. I still allowed myself bread, so most meals
were oatmeal or peanut butter sandwiches with either jelly or bananas. I
was feeling better, but knew that bread didn't grow on trees so I needed
to keep going further. This was around the time that a nasty looking and
extremely itchy mole had to be cut out of the back of my leg.

My saving grace was quitting a restaurant job in order to seek a job
related to my upcoming career field of Computer Science. This was the
summer of 2014 before my final year of school. I had figured out that my
hydration was trash and was now drinking at least a gallon of water a day.
I didn't have luck finding an internship, but I had plenty of time to
research health, and ended up doing an apple fast.

<strong>Enter Fruitarianism</strong>

I gorged on apples. Multiple pounds a day for at least three days. I
honestly did it not expecting it to work. Being able to live on apples
seemed like a joke, but I was willing to try it as an experiment. To my
surprise I started feeling better and better! By the end I had decided
that there was power to this and needed to explore even more!

For the following three months I was a 100% raw fruitarian eating as many
calories as I could. I followed the advice of many people, mostly vegan
athletes such as Durianrider and Freelee, but also others like John Kohler
and Dan "The Man" McDonald. Dan also provided lots of good advice on loving
oneself and improving mental, emotional, and spiritual life. I also made
sure what I was doing was backed by medical staff such as John McDougall.

I still tell people this to this day: those three months in 2014 were the
best feeling of my life. My body felt like lightning. I had so much energy
and felt like I could literally accomplish anything. I started riding a bike
without having done it since I was a kid, and was able to ride to a town
dozens of miles away with no training or practice, and didn't even feel
sore. My body was finally to the point that God or Evolution intended!!

Acne, gone. Skin was glowing and I got many compliments. Suffering from
the heat and humidity of summer? Gone as well! My body was able to cool
off so much faster without having cooked food stuck in digestion. There
were so many weird things that people wouldn't think of being related to
diet and lifestyle. Michael Arnstein even mentions in some interviews that
being fruitarian stopped him from getting earwax!

my body does not operate or digest well if those are missing. Exercise
is next because it can go longer without being kept up. The last two
are more spiritual, and require the first four to be maintained in
order for them to be beneficial, but once they are achieved then they

can help keep the first four in check when they dwindle.

There was a day where I wondered if I was now cured of something and could
go back to foods from my old diet. So one night for dinner I ate with my
family and had some sort of pasta with meat. After eating I ran an errand,
and remember within less than a few minutes, after only getting to the
street after our home, I started nodding off at the wheel. What a quick
indication that certain foods are a no-go!

Why would I stop eating like this, you ask? This was a temporary situation.
I was on summer break from school and free from any job. When the fall
semester started I needed a job again to pay for gas, books, etc. So I
added in clean RawTil4 type foods like rice. For many years I ate like this
and still felt great. No oil, which I still don't do to this day. Also no
seasoning, I firmly believe in only eating food that you like the taste
of alone and would be happy eating as a monomeal. This is one of many
reasons I don't like seasonings and prefer not to use them.

Eventually I was corrupted and did end up adding more junk food vegan
foods. I tried the fake cheeses, meats, ate food with oils, had processed
snacks, etc. During this time though I stuck to the main principles of
the PDF, and kept the carb ratio high as well as stayed hydrated and
rested. I could tell that the processed food was lowering my energy levels
but I remained disease free and was still able to accomplish a lot. I
still ate simple meals like fruits and rice when alone but was more
willing to go out with coworkers and family to restaurants.

There are other things I was able to discover about my body as well when
reintroducing cooked foods, such as alliums causing headaches, body pain,
nightmares, and with garlic specifically it becomes full-on night terrors.
These are an absolute no when I'm able to control it.

Stress is also a sensitivity for me. I tend to put myself in my work,
so creating a work/life balance is important to prevent me from getting
overwhelmed from a needy environment. When deadlines are not realistic
or there is just too much work to go around I have learned to accept
that it is other's responsibilities to manage these things wisely. If
the people saying these things need done are the same people who do not
offer overtime compensation or other benefits for overworking then the
blame and stress of not accomplishing these things cannot be mine. I
cannot accept the responsibility of other people's mismanagement.

<strong>Current Lifestyle</strong>

Today I lean towards a more RawTilX style diet again. Breakfast consists
of fruit, such as a pound or two of apples, or half a pound of dried
mango rehydrated for a few hours in water. Lunch is a grain such as
rice or quinoa. Dinner is usually a high-vegetable dish and tends to
include beans. Sometimes breakfast may be a water or dry fast, the fruit
meal is done as lunch, and lunch and dinner are combined into one meal.

Exercise comes and goes. Cycling is no longer a hobby of mine. A normal
week will have multiple 20-30 minute dog walks as well as a few strenuous
hikes. Yard and garden work also contribute to keeping the body active
and strong. It also aids in getting sun and fresh air!

When time is short, weather is not ideal, or I'd prefer to be barefoot
than be on asphalt, then walking short laps as a meditation is ideal.
This is not full-on Chinese circle-walking but can be seen as similar.

I appreciate you making it through this! Hopefully you've not only learned
a thing or two about me, but you've also obtained knowledge that you can
help improve your life. That's my goal after all, helping others!
Take care, friend. :)
