For the past week I have been faithfully entering all of the foods I have eaten at fitday.com . I was curious to see if I was getting all my (so called) required nutrients. (so called because they are really estimates, and don't (can't) take individual lifestyle into account).

So I found out last week that my left leg is 3/8 of an inch shorter than the right. I had it officially measured last week, and plaster molds of my feet were taken. Tomorrow I pick up my new shoe lifts. I am getting one for each foot, to help support the arches. So not just the short leg gets a lift. Last week a temporary lift was added to my ( Read more... )

Eggplant Pizza from the Complete Book of RAW food, pg. 196.
