  • What if the aloe is purple-colored?
  • good point, Kt. I take it in my smoothies fairly often also. Good stuff.
  • I don't think I'm allergic...but you see my allergies are much more subtle...as in I won't have an immediate reaction, but days later I will have an intense breakout. Like my skin takes time to "process" things (much like my mind and emotions really…
  • Make sure that nothing else is wrong....i.e. pregnancy...sorry if it sounds bad or obvious, but it's worth getting a holistic doc's opinion. Ofcourse, listen to your body, etcetera. Do you feel shittier now than when you started? If so, maybe you ne…
  • Blakejack1123: I have a similar predicament, finance-wise! I incorporate cooked grains like quinoa, millet, amaranth, and occasionally rice into my diet, mixed with spices and herbs (and I don't care to hear the gasps of the purists on this forum). …
  • Charliemum, what works for me: whenever I have a craving for meat, I will sometimes watch one of the PETA undercover videos. or such at petatv.com. it works. We need to know where this stuff we crave is coming from and make the connection.

  • I will make raw flat bread or crackers, and take bunches of those with me, and a sweet treat for afternoon. I am not 100% raw, so i will bring a raw dish like some zucchini ravioli or salad and have it with my cooked quinoa or amaranth. I also drink…

  • Money's tight, so right now I thumb through the books and make components of the larger recipes, like lemon-cream sauce, and instead of making the other parts of the entree, I'll just spiralize myself some zucchini pasta. At first i was a bit intimi…
  • I do use sweeteners sometimes in recipes, Raw honey (which is not vegan, but I buy from responsible beekeepers locally) is my favorite. But there is no flavor like maple syrup. Yummmmmmmmm.
  • By the way, ALOT of raw food recipes have alot of fat. Maybe it has something to do with the nuts and seeds...and avocados....
  • Well, i am not a 100% raw-fooder, so i don't mind about the maple syrup, etc. If ingredients like maple syrup contain valuable nutrition, it doesn't matter to me if it's raw or not. Agave syrup ain't all it's cracked up to be, if you do your researc…
  • Living Harvest has some intelligently-processed hemp products. I really have felt a difference with their stuff. http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ExecMacro/livingharvest/home.d2w/report
  • This thread is so reassuring. It is so easy to get caught up in doing the right thing all the time, and I have to say, the pressure makes me want to chuck it all and binge-eat sometimes. I do this still atleast one day a week, but I thankfully have …
  • There are some nifty multiitamins by Garden of Life that I have been taking, rather dramatically called "The Vitamin Code". They make formulas for women, men, seniors, etc, and according to their website, these vitamins are processed from whole food…
  • I read that recipe, emtpdmom! It sounds interesting.
  • thanks anyway pixx! We all have unique body chemistry, etc. I had some success with kiss My Face roll-on, I was just tired of buying it ($7 for deodorant is steep) and figured there must be some natural substances that would combat the bacteria as w…
  • Pixx, I was speaking of the odor that exists from the sweat as it occurs, not that I used it on dirty pits. I used it after showering and then went to work. Work is pretty strenuous, and I tend to sweat from the stress, and from the physical work. S…
  • So I did try the vinegar, and it sort of added a sourness to the already existing odor. Maybe mixed with vodka it will be more effective.
  • Hey, RawLibrarian, I am a librarian also - transitioning still, though. I really wish the Naturally Fresh deodorant worked, but I swear, I think the bacteria like it, because it just equals funkiness multiplied for me! I am still reticent to buy vod…
  • pixx, what kind of vodka do you use?
  • And VODKA as a deodorant? I have to say, that is the first I've heard of that! I always knew it had to have more than one use, besides just swilling it, that is. :)
  • Hah! Megan Lyne, I am currently experimenting with the Naturally Fresh roll-on, because it was cheap, but it still makes a funkdified smell when mied with my oh-so-dainty sweat. I guess finding the right deodorant is a (hellish) process. Hee hee. By…
  • Thank you so much, everybody. I'm gonna fiddle with all of these suggestions.
  • Sweating is great! I wouldn't trade it for anything...however, I work in a public library, and it's sort of embarassing. I have not gone to that seeming plateau of no-smell-sweatiness yet. It's really hard to imagine. I think I will try the coconut …
  • joanna, it is usually easier for me to have a green smoothie after i come home from work. it is so low-maintenance and I can just chill and drink it. I go through phases with them, drinking them every day for weeks, and then making more vegetable-ba…

  • The greens are IMPERATIVE to pooing!! Take it from someone who has had struggles with this sort of thing. And green smoothies are just the most delicious way to get 'em down. However, I have had temporary problems with bloating after drinking green …

  • I found an interesting article on the whole candida/yeast issue. http://www.welikeitraw.com/rawfood/2005/05/candida_breakdo.html While I appreciate Natalia Rose's simple and transitional approach to raw food, it just doesn't make sense to me to be e…
  • achin70, I know what you mean. I shelled out big bucks for that book, but it was soooo worth it. The book is incredibly inspiring. I used to be a big supplement-taker and advocate, and now that i have discovered whole superfoods, I have felt amazing…
  • Kudos to you for making your own site Raw Food Punk! i love that we can all pull together and share knowledge and tips. I'll be heading over to your website tonight!
