• I know how you feel.. after about a year raw I’ve been slipping into eating a lot of refined process carbs like pasta and bread over the last two months, rationalizing that as long as I keep vegan it’s all good but I just finished a 72 hour water fa…

• I was a hard core coffee addict for 15 years when I quit! What worked for me was weaning myself off.. I started to see if I could go a day without it, and have green tea or yerba matte tea instead. Then I’d go two or three days, having coffee only o…

• I’m glad! I hope so of that helped. I really am like my own guiniea (sp?) pig.. I try something.. run.. evaluate.. and see what works. I am amazed that some people run well during a juice fast or master cleanse. My running was horrible! I could bare…

• Good for you wanna_B_raw.. I often feel the same way. I was not even a vegetarian before learning about raw so just being vegan is a big switch. I really enjoy being vegan though and am emphasizing raw in my diet.. when I eat rice/ kamut/ boiled pot…
