• I can totally understand your feelings. I am a R.N. and I have worked in many clinical settings for the past 10 years. It can be very upsetting to see a patient NOT realize how important their health is. I try not to be too judgemental because befor…

• I'm known to cheat at least once a week. I'm not 100% raw, and I do love potato chips with hot sauce. It's my weakness, not sure why I give in to the food cravings, but I do. Most of the time my body feels like crap afterwards, but I always go back.…

• Sorry, I didn’t answer your question. If you use a good amount of oat groats I’m sure you could use your vitamix. Any extra”flour” could be placed in the freezer for future use? Just a suggestion.

  in Oat groats to flour? Comment by 3relefords
• I soak my oat groats, dehydrate them until dry then grind them into a flour in my coffee grinder.

• Desenchantee- I’m not 100% raw, I would probably say 90%-95% raw for the most part. I went raw not so much for the weight benefit. I did lose about 20 lbs in 4-5 months. I went raw because I feel better when I maintain the raw diet. I do eat about 3…

  in Pleeeease!!!Inspire me!!! Comment by 3relefords
• I would probably say not more than 4 TBSP of flax a day. 4 TBSP is equiv to 30 grams of fiber. you might not want any more than that because it will cause diarrhea.

• You didn’t say that you were 100% raw. Eat and drink at the restaurant if you wish. Changing your eating habits is always a transition. Try not to feel guilty about it. I’m not 100% raw, I just follow my body, it usually tells me what I am missing. …
