i call junk what you call junk. hey, i love raw food and all that, but
cooked potatoes are not junk to me. breads and beans could be, though ;)
just kidding.
junk is all the dead processed addictive often empty stuff that people eat.
my body is wise, and always lets me know by the way i feel that junk food
is death and disease oriented whereas whole food, raw, maybe cooked, is
life and health oriented. even my eyes shile way more simply by sticking to
all raw for a couple of weeks!

actually yes and no. the above was as i see it sort of a survival
mechanism, i was deppressed, doing zero sports and eating junk everyday,
afraid and obsesed with disease and symptoms, bored like a stone, pale,
feeling dead at some levels. so i said no and started doing what i have
already told here. also i had tons of accumulated energy. it makes sense in
a way. my life was almost paralyzed, so do not expect i could have
gradually started doing some mild exercise today, some tomorrow, etc. i am
twenty five and feel like doing a lot! it is that simple.

btw, it has been a week body building daily, and i like it! the trainer at
the gymasium says take it easy, this is nothing, after your muscles get a
little used to this, we will start with real exercises. it is also funny to
see how big are some of the folks over there. they are BIG!
