• All I eat before running is fruit also. Not only does it give me plenty of energy but it’s also hydrating. Even before my marathon all I ate was three pieces of fruit. Oh and I wanted to share what my recovery has been like since my raw marathon. Ri…

• I have those bins also but they specifically saw raw on them. If it doesn’t say raw, then it’s probably not. Also look for key words like roasted or salted, etc… If you’re still not sure it can’t hurt to ask.

• CTcyclist, I got mine at Target for $40. It’s a Black and Decker also and it works just fine. I use it probably 3-5 times a day. I’m sure it will last a while if I take good care of it.

• I am training for a marathon so I do between 20-40 miles a week. However I love to cross-train and I do spinning, kickboxing, yoga, and weights. The yoga has helped so much it’s not even funny. I am more flexible, my balance is better, and my strain…

• Hey everyone. I have been raw for about a month now and honestly this whole deadlist thing.. it’s a little too extreme for me. It might be great for some people but the rawfood lifestyle is about improving all qualities of life including freeing you…
