• I was about to start a topic on this! How do you take nettles? Also, where and how $$ can you get the nettles and the necklaces? Finally, how sightly are the necklaces? My feet attest to my poor choices for visual appeal ;)

• I personally need to eat not long before bed, or I wake up almost too weak to get to the kitchen (ironic that I wake up when I lose consciousness again often before managing to eat when this happens!) My metabolic rate just wants more than a nice gr…

• I was very iffy on trying laxative teas, but I decided to try them in combination with a few days of 100% raw, master cleanse style with one each night and morning. I was afraid of the effects of the tea causing my body to not work on its own accord…

• Hmm, I might have to check this out! I’ve never gone to a chiropractor before but I have some pretty weird back cracking abilities (aka I feel like I need to crack every so often to relieve dull aches or stiffness) Im pretty sure that its not good! …

• I shave my legs about once a week and my pits whenever they need it. My legs have very fine blonde hair that grows quite slowly, so I don’t worry much about it. I have considered waxing however because it only took about 2 packages (4-6 uses) of at …

• I usually just pick up some produce in whatever item I want whenever I run out with my parents getting the stuff that we tend to buy in bulk (walking and bussing with giant boxes of organic salad greens or grocery store sized crates of oranges and a…

• I am thinking of a very short (max 2 days) water fast for some spring cleaning as I take the next step in purifying my lifestyle and diet. I don’t think that a long time on a water fast would have the same clear results upon completion as a juice fa…

• XD I wouldnt do carrots for a tan…. once I was eating large amounts of clementines and sweet potatoes daily and I turned slightly orangish- on the very pale it can look like jaundice rather than tan!

• Origins uses natural, if not all organic products- at least the ingredients make some sense! Other than that I find the gradual olay one has been good to de-paste my legs in past winter-spring transitions but its a major company that doesnt really t…

• Chanel meets the approval of PETA but I’m not sure of the ingredients, YSL also makes a great hot pink to go with their Elle perfume and they are also vegan. Those are kinda pricey though… I only get them on occasion. Someone stole my $60 YSL lipglo…

• Thanks, those sites are really good. The Omega looks like the one that meets my needs (gotta juice that spinach), but I shall see again after my kitchen store adventure tomorrow!

• Almonds, walnuts, avocado and coconut to get more fats. Its pretty easy to mix at least one of those into the majority of meals. Mix flax seeds into smoothies as well to get Omega 3s

• Living in the house makes it impossible to leave, if it were a family dinner I wouldn’t go- I prefer family bonding with everyone separate and with a short time slot. My parents adapted slowly to me going pesco-vegetarian, but they still like to jok…

• I also have a major joint popping issue- mind you its become a habit for me to do on purpose as it has been happening since I was around 5 years old or so… Yeah… I have ugly hands! My shoulder doesn’t usually pop- though my hips, knees, neck, back, …

• Definitely see a doctor- you might need to get blood work done to make sure everything is in balance too. My electrolytes go out of whack pretty easily and I pass out sometimes but I’ve never seized. After a bloodtest I figured out the problem and h…

• My morning cardio routine as well! Except mine takes place to foreign metal in the shower/getting ready. The dancing makes me feel so alive- attempting to lip sync or headbang while brushing teeth, not so much!

• Another lesson learned on my part… make sure you screw in the bottom of your blender and check it if someone else did… I lost most of the fruit portion of my green smoothie this morning and ended up with a much more cilantro and sprout flavoured dri…

• Lol, thanks- I wish I were in Europe!its actually from a random dance in January in cold old Canada. If you are a Chai addict you will love the Tahitian Vanilla Hazelnut- it tastes just like a latte even with little to no nut milk!

• Omg, I have this issue too! I think its my sweet tooth and an emotional thing for me, but it is so hard to stop! It seems like you might be lacking in fats and calories slightly, so add some avocado, healthy oils, or nuts to your salads, or maybe so…

• Shortbread cookies. I have a sweet tooth and I had a major bingeing issue, mainly with cookies. I once ate an entire box of shortbreads to myself (at 150 a cookie) in a day. I had one of these same cookies 2 days ago and it tasted like flour, sugar …

• I tried drinking this water mix that I found on the We Like it Raw blog for morning energy and I find it to be an appetite suppressant- enough to get to the gym, work out, then have a green smoothie for breakfast. Water, lemon, cayenne pepper, turme…

• Ohh, I might have to check that out! Seaweed is so tasty too. Miso might not be puuurely raw but miso soup with seaweed just warm enough to be somewhat soupy is sooo good! Either way, I’m moving out next year so after a month vegan I can officially …

• I haven’t mentioned my transition to anyone, but I have mentioned to friends that I want to follow a vegan diet and not cooking is so much healthier than cooking. My parents however, won’t even let me give up fish- last time I tried to explain that …

• Try perhaps monitoring your food combining if the weight doesn’t go away after your period. I had a bit of water weight on for a bit from mixing sweet and acid fruits in smoothies, which is a pity because pineapples taste so good with mango :( I’ve …

• Ok, so I’m not the only one! I find that after my big green smoothie every morning I don’t want anything but water before 2 or 3 o’clock! I used to eat a huge breakfast and eat a morning snack by 10:00am, lunch around 11:30, a second lunch around 1:…

  in Less hungry on raw diet? Comment by Nicci
• It all depends on calories consumed imo. I don’t eat much coconut, but flax is a staple for me and since beginning my transition to raw, I have lost 5lbs, no exercise, and that is 5 lbs that I didn’t think would come off easily as I am kinda tiny al…

• The problem I think would be bingeing on dried fruits and nuts. I do not eat dried fruits unless they are mixed into a salad or some other kind of meal, and I tend to keep the same bounds on nuts. The calories in them are insane. If you binge on nut…
