• What is your “diet” excactly. What do you consume, and how do you consume it (ie blended, whole, and what times of the day). This can help people out and maybe point something out. Don’t force yourself to eat, your body usually doesn’t want to eat f…

• Yes, it is very disappointing. But think about it, how great was the majority of the food that they supplied there? Most of it was all “health food”, read the labels and you would usually find different. How much variety of organic did they have com…

• our bodies need sodium, they are essential nutrients for our cells to operate correctly. Sea salt is an inorganic mineral, that we cannot break down! Make sure you get your form of salts (or any type of sodium) through plants, they have organic salt…

  in WHY FATS AND SODIUM! Comment by TreeOfLife
• To break it down with out getting to technical- sodium surronds the outside our cells where potasium is in the middle. Sodium is definately a vital nutrient to live. As far as sea salt, what happens when one drinks water? We thrive, it is a necessit…

  in our body's need for salt? Comment by TreeOfLife
• But seriously zinfandel, sea salt/rock salt never satiates your body. You always want more. If you are craving salt that bad, honostly have some celery or anothe high sodium plant. I use to dislike celery with a passion, until I cut salt out. It tas…

• Zinfandel- Don’t use salt to curb cravings. Have you ever noticed it never actually curves your cravings? You always want more salt, and more salt. This is because you are getting inorganic mineral salts (as jgf stated, they are unusable by the body…

• My first time out to a non raw resetaraunt as a rawbie, was a nightmare. I was on vaca with my girlfriend and there was a local sushi joint. We decided to hit it up, she’s vegan and I’m raw vegan so we figured we could just get some raw veggies and …

• I work at a raw gourmet restaraunt, and we open coconuts quite often. It is pretty easy. Take a cleaver and strike the coconut on the top. It usually takes four strikes (connect them, going around, 4 strikes = square :) ). The top will come off, we …

  in Allergic to Bananas! Comment by TreeOfLife
• I feel for you! No bananas?!? It would be one thing if you lived somewhere where there was an abundant amount of different types of fruits, but living in my climate we have to have exotics shipped to us. Besides that we get apples, pears, berries, v…

• ouch! Sorry, I have no words of encouragement on this one! I don’t know what I would do with out bananas AND mangoes! Lol, I had 10 large mangoes for lunch, usually that’s my dinner and I have about 20 medium/large bananas for lunch. I would not be …

• Mango and tomatoe, thats it! Simple, and awesome. I’m not sure the ratio, it was close to 1:1 mangoes:tomatoes. That is my goal. Pick fresh mangoes, bananas, jackfruit, melons, etc.. Just eat at the tree and then leave, or if I absolutely had to, I …

• Pianissima is correct. Don’t listen to anyone but yourself. Nutrition is pretty much just theory. Do whatever works best for you. It is amazing though. I’ve always had acne on my face, it got worse in the beggining of 811 but quickly left and have n…

• bubbaw6- sometimes people say if they eat more fats they do better, this is usually because of calories. Fatty foods are usually more calroie dense, therefore you don’t need to consume as much to reach daily fuel necessities. Maybe your 811 approach…

• Everyone really answered this great for you. The best way in this world is to have knowledge of what your doing, because everyone seems to have more. They really don’t they just kind of guess, which is quite easy if you’ve been living a certain way …
