Right now my fantasy would be to be spending the winter months in Vilcabamba Ecuador and growing my own fig trees.

Whether its on a beach or out on the mountain skiing, it doesn't matter to me. As long as I can get outside. Anyone else know what I mean?

On the snow, on the slopes! Otherwise winter just ain't bearable. Favorite place in winter? On the snow, on the slopes! Otherwise winter just ain’t bearable.

It always tastes like alcohol you have to buy at an ABC store. Is it supposed to have that taste and aroma? My favorite place to be any time of year is home, here in Virginia Beach. I don't think it would matter where I was geographically - home is where the heart is. I'd love to be somewhere tropical and experience what it's like to have food picked from the field the day before, but I'm not a big fan of all the hurricanes that accompany the region.

Comment to Steve who sounds like he's given up... Kevin is being honest, there is no right or wrong answer. Eating a variety of foods/fats would have been an appropriate answer. But, when you first start eating raw your calorie requirements are much different than if you have been eating raw for a longer period of time (approx 1 year). I would recommend getting your calories from whatever you can when you first start. I was starving for the first 3 months, eating everything I could raw. Eventually going to fruits in the morning and lots of veggies, nuts dishes using oils and natural sugars all day. Your body starts to tell you that less calories are needed, if I eat too many calories after being raw for 1 year, I get lethargic. Just like cooked food used to make me feel. I reduce my intake of nuts, oils and sugars and I feel much better after a meal. So you have to listen to your body. The correct answer is within you. :) Good luck and don't give up on a healthy lifestyle of unprocessed foods. Simply put, Don't eat poop.
