• Same her Zoe, I got the cheapest one I could find at £9!! Worth advetising through free cycle or whatever to get one. Or buying a cheap one for the time being. Does me fine, would rather spend the cash on produce!

  in Best Affordable Blender Comment by rawdancer_london
• Thanks Zoe In the morning I can easily prepare lemon juice and water or oj. Same in the evening, its fine to use my juicer and blender. But when I am out during the day working out etc will be tricky. I will prep and carry them with me… think I am g…

  in Juice Feasing question.. Comment by rawdancer_london
• Thank you for that Nora Just confirms the way I feel. That intuition is the best way to go, I train hard and I eat when I am hungry, not bored or for emotional reasons. Agreed, SAD eaters might not accept this way of living/amount of calories but it…

  in Fruit and disease Comment by rawdancer_london
• I deffinately feel full easily now. 1 peice of fruit is normally enough to satisfy me. It can be a problem though, people constantly fuss over how little I eat. But I can honeltly say I dont go hungry!! When I first tried raw I was either starving h…

  in banana consumption, need control? Comment by rawdancer_london
• Glad thats cleared up! I train hard and drink when I am thirsty. When I am eating I hardly ever feel thirsty as I have a lot of high water content fruit n veg. Need my 3 litres a day! Well done with the fasting daisygirl glad you are feeling the ben…

  in my fast Comment by rawdancer_london
• Right, so how much is the right amount then? Considering I am walking 2 hours a day, running an hour and hitting the gym most evenings. I have checked all the “medical” type sites which say 2.5-3.5 litres per day. What is safe? I have always thought…

  in my fast Comment by rawdancer_london
• Doctors supervise having 3 litres a day. When you are training hard its important to rehydrate. Becoming dehydrated is a problem if your not feasting on juicy fruits as normal. Intrested to have more info/science back up limiting water intake??

  in my fast Comment by rawdancer_london
• I am having 4 litres a day staggered through the day. Normally having juicy fruits means we hardly have to drink but when only having water is important to get enough. Keep us posted, intrested to hear more I always found water fasting easier than j…

  in Thoughts on Being Raw Comment by rawdancer_london
• If you freeze it yourself it hasnt been heated. Completly personal choice wether or not to eat home frozen fruit.! Banana ice cream rocks :)

  in how about frozen berries and veggies Comment by rawdancer_london
• I am afraid they have been blanched in hot water before freezing. If you live in an area with limited produce/organic stuff worth finding out about bulk buying or sourcing it with other vegans- form a cooperative and buy in bulk. Fresh juicy fruit i…

  in Fruitarian, Planning? Comment by rawdancer_london
• I cant stomach smoothies .. bleh.. stick to the lighter greens for now!

  in help greens/chard/kale? Comment by rawdancer_london
• Thanks for that, after doing a bit of reading I realised that those sorts of greens were a waste of energy/hard to digest. Which isnt wise for me right now. I will stick to the chinese lettuces and spinach :)

• http://www.internethealthlibrary.com/DietandLif… This was a useful chart, makes a start of a complicated subject!

  in food combining Comment by rawdancer_london
• I sure did resolve the Crohns with natural hygiene. Its completly mind blowing to be able to go out without taking any tablets now after being on 30 a day. So treding carefully with the food combining is worthwhile to keep my well and fighting fit!!

  in food combining Comment by rawdancer_london
• Food combining can get confusing, but the basic chart deffinately can help. I am in remission from crohns so I deffinately find it worthwhile to follow the rules as a precaution. Only thing that really helps I find is melon alone always, and mono me…
