May 28, 2009

Looking forward to reading the book “The End of Overeating” when I get back to Oz. Heard good things about it.

Bali Eats – Part II

May 27, 2009

JUICE JA on Dewa Sita Street is a mellow hangout. They have free wi-fi and it isn’t as crowded as Kafe. Pure and blended juices are on the menu and it’s probably the only place that serves wheatgrass juice in Ubud. The small juices range in price from RP$12.000 – 14.000, but you can get [...]

Bali Eats – Part I

May 25, 2009

With all the delicious food in Ubud, I thought I would hit the raw highlights!
KAFE has a good sized menu, delicious food and free wifi until 7pm. It’s always packed with Westerners whenever I’ve been there and it’s a great place to hook up with other travelers. You can get green drinks, fruit juices and [...]

The Yoda of Bali

May 23, 2009

I was a bit reluctant to see the second medicine man, Ketut Liyer. Not only because my first medicine man visit was emotionally draining, but because I felt like a traitor having seen someone else earlier that morning. I put my hair down to hide the “medicine” on my neck, hoped my eyes had had [...]

Balinese Medicine Man

May 20, 2009

“Met a real Balinese medicine man. The kind of medicine man that comes from a long lineage of healers. The kind who never turns anyone away. The kind who does not charge for his services. The kind whose energy work you FEEL physically and not just imagine or wish you did. The kind in which [...]

Water and Chocolate

May 20, 2009

Visited a beautiful water temple today where the water bubbles up from an underground spring. It’s said to be holy where people come to bathe and drink. I wanted to get into the pool, but no other tourists did, so I wasn’t sure if it was ok. I did drink from the spring though and [...]

It’s Nice To Be Kneaded

May 18, 2009

Ubud Sari is a beautiful health resort tucked in a corner of tropical lushness! They have wonderful healing packages that are so reasonable compared to those stateside. You can chose to stay on-site or off-site. I haven’t seen the bungalows there, but my friend saw them a few days ago and he said they were [...]

Another Fitness Challenge

May 17, 2009

If you missed the deadline for the awesome Real Time Physique Transformation contest, well you’re out of luck. But I just got an e-mail from Precision Nutrition and they are about to start up another Lean Eating Program with $20,000 in prize money – cha ching!!
I think the Precision Nutrition (PN) program is [...]

Eating Organic in Bali

May 17, 2009

Every Saturday, there’s an organic market in Ubud. I was so excited to go – looking forward to it since I got to Bali! Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. Ten tables and only two with produce.  Ah well, at least the consciousness is there and the start of people getting together which is WAY [...]

Bali High

May 16, 2009

Yay! I’m in Bali and LOVING it! It’s so lush and green like Hawaii (why did I leave again?) but with more zest and heaps less expensive! The architecture, carvings, stone work everywhere is just SO amazing. I’m based in Ubud which is an artist colony and bursting with crafts, music, dance, street markets and [...]

Garden Gallery

May 7, 2009

The young permaculture gardens at Samudra are lush and green! It was planted late last year and is THRIVING! Food is harvested here every day and served up in the Kombie Cafe. When I WOOFed in Kauai, I absolutely LOVED picking my meals every day – mangoes, papayas, figs, lychee; big colanders full of [...]

Raw Food Royalty

May 5, 2009

Last night, Dr. Fred Bisci was a guest speaker at Samudra. He has been a raw foodist for over 40 years, has helped a ton of people and is veritable fountain of knowledge. Truly unbelieveable! He looks at biochemical
interrelationships, rather than taking a simple dietary or nutritional standpoint. And he believes in an intermediate level [...]
