• Wow, that is really audacious. I would flip it back on them and take the opportunity to really soapbox. Bring in articles, visuals. “I am actually really glad that you guys brought this up with me because I have just been dying to tell you about the…

• Well, you should read about it (read the book if you can, it is only like 50 pages). Here is a good site to look at about it: http://www.therawfoodsite.com/mastercleanse.htm. The idea though is that you make a lemonade with 2 tbls lemon juice, 2 tbl…

  in Fasting/Detox Comment by juleskess
• Eunice, welcome! I don’t about the water and fruit fasting, but the way that I started on raw food was by doing the master cleanse based on the book by Stanley Burroughs. I really believe that it was this cleanse that has allowed me to have such an …

• I feel better now. Whew. Thanks for doing that research, I had no idea. Calcium intake was one of the things I had no answer for to my inquisitive (read, skeptical) relatives.

• No, the peel is the best part, that stays firm. I take out the seedy very middle part. I like to sprinkle it with sea salt and let it sit awhile to let off some liquid, but it does discolor some. Failing that, just bring the sauce to the party with …

  in Watery zucchini Comment by juleskess
• Don’t cha just hate that? It’d be so perfect otherwise. I generally spiralize it a few hours to a day before, let it give off it’s liquid, drain, and then use and eat. I’ve also found that I can bring it for lunch as long as I don’t put on any sauce…

• rfoodie – it is a ten day cleanse where you drink a large quantity of lemonade made with maple syrup and cayenne pepper and eat nothing else for 10 days. You also do salt water flushing of your system every morning. You can find information on it at…

  in evil awful gas Comment by juleskess
• Hi everyone. I just thought I would come back and share my success story with you. After 6 months of god awful, ruin-my-life gas I did the master cleanser for another round of just 5 days (doing the master cleanser for the full 10 days was what made…

  in evil awful gas Comment by juleskess
• joseegonthier, thanks for your continued help trying to save my career from gas. I really appreciate it. Let me clarify: I eat the avo OR the pate and I eat the fruit OR the rolls or slaw. I know I can’t mix those things. Your suggestion about the o…

• How about pumpkin? I’ve make skinny noodles with it. Never tried lasagna noodles though.

  in evil awful gas Comment by juleskess
• No, I used to eat all of that stuff before going raw, I just ate it steamed. Those veggies were actually some of my biggest staples and gave me no gas after the transition period. Maybe my raw transition period is just going to be smellier and longe…

• I don’t eat much dried fruit at all. I have green smoothies for breakfast, fruit to snack on through the morning, salads for lunch and generally a seed pate or avocado with more salad for dinner. I have been trying to keep track of the gas to food r…

  in evil awful gas Comment by juleskess
• Breakfast is a green smoothie (spinach or chard mixed with the juice of one orange and 2 bananas). I snack on fruit throughout the morning (fresh figs mostly, some pears too, the occasional apple). Lunch is usually a large green salad with avo, pepp…

• I’ve never done them, but I found this link in my intruigued-by-rays-post research. It has pics. There’s only one per page so make sure you go to “next” to see them all. http://active.com/story.cfm?story_id=13138

• I thought that too, but no, I experimented. It is DEFINITELY the vegetables. ;)

  in fresh figs Comment by juleskess
• I have no seasonal help to give, but I hear you on the fig love. They are always in season where I live and I eat a sick amount of them. Really I eat about 15 a day. I heart fresh figs. Ah.

• mango woman, I am going through something similar. Did you maybe have a slip up that your body is dealing with now? I have been raw for 4 months now with no problems, and suddenly am a beast in the kitchen. I am eating a ton and have cravings for th…

  in Dried fruit binges Comment by juleskess
• Zoe, thanks for your thoughts. It´s funy you should mention it because a lot of the reason why I have been trying to stay on a low fat raw diet comes from what you and Chris had to say about eating things that are not truly raw even though they are …

  in Low Fat Raw Headaches? Comment by juleskess
• It looks great. I can´t get myself to like raw tomatoes though. Do you have any sugestions of things that might go well with it to substitute? (Zoe, well it wasn´t really kale, but some strange south amemican green that must be a relative, more bitt…

  in more leafy greens in my belly Comment by juleskess
• Wow, those are all wonderful suggestions, many thanks. I also tried the marinated kale and lentil salad today. I didn’t love the lentils, but I ate up the kale like crazy. Overnight marinating greens does wonders! My blender is so terrifying, I neve…

• Do you juice the greens and parsley first? I have a so-so blender and always end up chewing greens with the smoothie. It´s not juice or smoothie-like at all. erg.

• I don’t have an answer for you, but I have sympathy. I have been pretty raw for 4 months, mostly raw for two. This week I also got a funny rash popping up. I have also gotten some come and go swollen glands, pimples that I haven’t had in ages, and m…

  in Am I detoxing? Comment by juleskess
• I live in Chile. The diet here is entirely based on meat and white bread. I have yet to meet a raw foodist, but have come across a few (three) vegetarians in my 2 years here. It is impossible to find any kind of health food store item, but the produ…

• Do it Deika! I think that the master cleanse was what allowed me to have such an easy transition. It was not only that after it I felt so great there was no way I could go back, but more importantly, it cleared out my cravings so I didn’t have to st…

• Theoutsider, I have read that kidney beans have something in them that is dangerous to ingest without cooking, much like potatoes. Supposedly, they are the one bean that you ought not to sprout and eat raw. Might be worth checking into. My biggest p…
