• good timing…my biggest thing since going raw is I have actually been able to digest what I eat! (I’ve had bad IBS and chronic pancreatitis for about 5 years now, and nothing seemed to help). And because I am actually getting nutrients I have energy …

• wow I forgot about aloe…when I was having a ton of stomach problems this was one thing I was told to look into. it’s supposed to be good for digestion and stuff…I never got around to it – the only thing I’d ever used it for was when I got a sunburn …

• haha I totally just realized…it probably doesn’t matter to you if it keeps food hot. but that was one thing people raved about (i just hope it keeps my stuff cool)

• I just ordered a Mr Bento off amazon…it’s a little pricey but I read the reviews and it sounds awesome. It’s shaped like a thermos but there are 4 bowls inside it, each with a lid. two of them keep food hot, and it’s supposed to keep stuff cool too.…

• hi! I have been doing a lot of walking at incline on the treadmill…anywhere from 4%-12%, switching it up a lot. Maybe your wife could try starting off walking a few miles at 4%...even when I’m tired, I am able to do this workout as it’s not intense …

• haha my fat intake yesterday was 43% of my total calories…and i was 1.2 lb lighter this morning. something’s working! (it was all in the form of hummus, straight tahini, and the olive oil in my pasta sauce though)

  in One avocado a day? Comment by LizK
• if the calorie thing was in fact directed at me, let me clarify. i like to use less not to save calories (i mean really, what does that save maybe 30? stupid) but to save money. i don’t have a lot of $$ and agave and honey are expensive. I prefer no…

  in agave nectar-- raw?? Comment by LizK
• I still use agave…I like it better than honey because it is thinner, so I can use smaller amounts and it lasts longer. Stevia, in my opinion, tastes like ass. I accidentally bought some tea recently that had stevia leaf in it and EW it tasted like s…

  in agave nectar-- raw?? Comment by LizK
• thanks for the responses…I mainly want to make sure I’m not gonna damage my metabolism or something. I freaked out when I saw my totals because several years ago when I was flirting with an eating disorder, I ate like 700-800 a day. Don’t want to fa…

  in not hungry? Comment by LizK
• yeah I understand why you would want to get rid of it…I hate that over-full feeling, but it is a really bad thing to do. The only time I justify it is when I’ve had too much to drink…THEN it totally makes sense…gotta get the alcohol out!haha althoug…

• ahh me too…well sort of…I had a rough drinking night thursday (well i only had like 5 drink over the course of 5 hours…i used to drink wayyyy more than that in college) and i was hungover until like 7pm the next day…my hangover-impaired judgement le…

• yes tear replacement is what the eye drops are for…I agree they work. I forgot to add, the Dr diagnosed my dry eyes by putting a thread (it looks like a little piece of sewing thread) holding it right where my lower eyelid is for a few seconds. Appa…

• haha it freaked people out. my mom would notice it if she came in my room when I was sleeping, and in 10th grade on a trip my friends thought I died in my bed because my eyes were wide open. I’ve heard of some people taping their eyes shut at night……

• i have the same thing…ever since I moved from sea level to about 10,000ft and DRY in the mountains, I look like I’m on crack…my eyes are usually pretty red. I went to an allergist and got tested for about 24 different things…all negative. I went to …

• I used to be a runner…but lately I’ve found walking works better for me…it doesn’t increase my appetite as much but I go 6 miles so it still burns a fair amount of calories (probably 500…I do it at incline). I also do yoga once a week…beginner’s hah…

  in jogging and stuff Comment by LizK
• also keep in mind that if you are sticking to the same thing over and over, your body will get used to it and plateau. This means, mix up your workout every few weeks…if you run long and slow, try a week of fast intervals. change what kind of ab wor…

  in Ideal intake for weight loss on Raw Comment by LizK
• yeah my palms are more…orange than most people’s. My body is VERY sensitive to the carrots but I eat them anyway. As long as my face isn;t orange…then I’d look like a fake baker. I definitely still burn…I live in the mountains and went for a 2hr wal…

• I would like to eat all fruit for a while just to see…I am sure I would do well on it, as it is now I eat mainly fruit during the day, except the spinach in my smoothies, and coconut oil. if zucchini is a fruit, then I am doing even better haha I ea…

  in Eating just fruit Comment by LizK
• well now I know why I’ve been buying real carrots lately rather than baby carrots! I didn’t even realize I was doing it, but I hadn’t had a real carrot since I was a kid. theyre so much better

• yes…I used to love all forms of nuts, but over the past year or so I’ve really noticed, my body just doesn’t digest fats well. maybe a couple nuts at a time but who eats like 4 nuts?? haha not to mention they are expensive. I have some sunflower see…

  in Does anybody feel the same as I do about NUTS??? Comment by LizK
• roxi – omg me too…most vegetables and nuts give me the worst gas. it’s so annoying because I’d love to just have a massive salad for lunch but not the side effects haha. I save the veggies for dinnerand even then just stick to zucchini noodles and t…

  in Who eats mostly fruit? Comment by LizK
• yes the sugar in fruit alone does not cause diabetes. I eat a ton of fruit and I feel great…a grapefruit in the morning is the best thing ever…in fact I had one 3 hours ago and I won’t be ready for lunch for probably one more hour. it doesn’t spike …

  in Who eats mostly fruit? Comment by LizK
• I’m the same…after a looong day of work and the gym, it’s 8pm and I just want my law+order on tv. I keep my dinners pretty simple for now (veggie noodles and change up the sauces), and even though its a chore, I make sure to make my breakfast/lunch …

• haha in a wierd way I think the same as queenfluff…no one’s going to actually learn a lesson or actually do something unless something drastic happens. It’s sick but the US is kind of ignorant…look what it took for us to care about national safety.

• thaht is probably true…though I haven’t seen any truly raw nuts/nut butters in stores around here, I have a feeling it would cost me less to just give them up for a while anyway, haha

  in Just getting my feet wet:) Chia Seed?? Comment by LizK
• yes, I avoid nuts like the plague now. I used to be addicted to peanut butter (like every runner in the world it seems) but since I’ve been raw I’ve finally been able to identify that nuts do NOT work with my stomach…I ate a bunch of cashew butter t…

• yeah I don’t know why, but lemon water is great! I drink a cup of warm water with lemon in it every morning while doing about 10 minutes of stretching, and it’s a great way to start the day. My appetite is under control all day and I don’t get a sto…
