• I agree about getting a good blender. I have the Blend Tec which is great, the Vitamix is wonderful too. The dehydrator can wait, there's a ton of raw crackers you can get online, but you can check things like Craigslist or second hand shops for goo…

• You can try putting a high wattage light bulb in your oven and using that, since it's square. Just turn on the lightbulb. You'll have to check with the oven manual to make sure it's okay, I've put a 100 watt bulb in mine and it was fine, I measured …

• I had a Champion for many years, I didn't like how it heated up and was so messy, I now have a Breville Juice Fountain which I love for my needs. I don't juice much, and don't juice greens so it's perfect and it's fast. What I juice are carrots, app…

• Keep it simple sugar. Eat lots of fruits and salads, expand your repertoire when you're ready, you'll get there. Don't get caught up with all the packaged and processed "raw" foods and look at what's good in the produce section. Eat organic what you…

• teade I would like to wean myself from it too. I too am a lip balm junky, use all kinds of "natural" lip balms, including eco-lips, I think you are just trying to stop using anything and allow your own body to do the healing, am I right? It might be…

• Not all Christians think like this! Watch this video, it's hilarious (around 1 minute he talks about the OP) Have you noticed on Easter, the day to worship a Jewish man who never ate pork, the center of the Easter "feast" is a big ham? I just read …

• Parchment paper works well, it will get a little crispy if left in there too long, but if you are making bread and flipping it over on to the mesh sheets before it's done that won't happen. Make sure it's the unbleached kind.

• Wow, what a story, how interesting that the docs told you to limit vegetables but eat lots of grains. Keep in mind that once you slow down your grain consumption you'll be craving something to replace it - try eating lots of fruit first before reach…

• I think it was for those having thyroid issues - if not there's probably no need to try and avoid the nightshade family of foods. Beeny Beegan that's good to know, I have those same symptoms.

• One thing you might want to consider is the gate of your step, or how wide it is when you walk. There are different lengths of treadmill decks so if you don't need a really long one that will just take up more space in your home you'll probably save…

• Hey Matt, Welcome! I'll tell you, being vegan will make the transition much easier, you may find yourself raw in half that time, probably less! I'd say the hardest thing to give up would be bread, anything else fairly easy. All the best. P.S. Just c…

• Some people actually do lose eating fats while others don't. You may want to check Carlene's raw food boot camp for the obese, she has a journal from when she lost over 100 lbs. If you can, eat a lot of fruit to fulfill you.

  in Gone off raw Comment by Raw Curls
• People who eat meat or cooked food "to make others comfortable" or "to be polite" are obviously not going to get sick or have an aversion to such foods. I would find it nearly impossible to do so, unless I was literally starving and knew there was n…

• All the best to you! My suggestion? Just give up coffee or any other addictions cold turnip (turkey). The first couple of days you may experience headaches, but after that you're free. If you reduce your consumption or wean, you leave the door wide …

• I don't think there is a truly "raw" oil if you mean fresh. One of those confusing things, raw meaning that it's not heated yes, but when you understand that oil isn't a whole food, it's an extracted, processed food no matter how you cut it, that ma…

• I know I should answer this since it's my avatar, the most delicious way to enjoy a persimmon, IMO, is blended. Either blended with bananas in a smoothie or throw in the food processor alone as a pudding. They are super sweet when ripe, almost sugar…

• Having a humidifier or vaporizer in the bedroom helps a lot too. Run it at night and that dryness isn't so bad in the morning.

• I get sick of green smoothies too and don't eat them all the time. I'll make a marvelous oj/banana/mango smoothie or an oj/banana/strawberry smoothies, or grapefruit juice, orange juice or just eat fruit. You don't have to eat greens every day of yo…

• 80/10/10 by Douglas Graham is the most comprehensive and easy to read book I've read so far. As far as Eating for Beauty, I haven't read it but I do find that DW is a supplement salesperson as a whole and tends to push a lot of it. I believe the bas…
