  • Thanks for the ideas. Rawkid: What do you mean the fruit path?
  • I am planning to start tomorrow. Not MC…Burroughs says 10-day minimum for MC. My husband did it for 8 days the last time and he missed out by not doing the full 10. Maybe a juice feast….I just need something easy! Would love to have you join!

  • I am a potato chip junkie!!! There is a recipe on the forum for sweet potato chips that are amazing…and if you cut them really thin, they get crispy just like a potato chip. A batch never lasts long in my house! There is also a recipe for spicy chee…
  • You might also check your dehydrator. I had to turn a wheel inside mine (an Excalibur) because everything was taking way too long to “cook”. Since I did this (I called excalibur) mine seems to be working like it should.
  • Congrats to all of you getting started on your MC…keep up the good work!! sgmom…so sorry to hear about your neighbor. What a test of strength! I think I would have eaten everything in sight. Today I get to eat food again and I am so excited. I have …
  • Good job kminty3! The first few days can be really tough…just hang in there and drink that lemonade when you are hungry. If that doesn’t work then alternate with water.
  • sgmom2 Be careful how much lemonade you make ahead of time. Once you juice the lemon it starts losing some of its nutritional value. Everything that I have read says to try to juice only what you need at a time. But I usually make 3 servings at a ti…
  • I am on Day 8 of my MC. You have lots of support here!
  • greenridge: I also have 2 toddlers and am trying to feed them as much raw food as possible. do you have any good recipes? They eat a lot of fresh fruit, but veggies are the tricky part. If I cook broccoli, peas, corn, green beans, etc. they will usu…
  • I think you will be okay. The flush happens pretty quickly….within 2 hours you should be fine.
    in Detox needed! Comment by frustrated
  • you could easily do a salt water flush in the morning to flush out your system. mix 2 teaspoons of sea salt with 32 oz (1 QT) of pure water. drink when you wake up in the morning. this must be on an empty stomach. then stay near a bathroom. this wil…

  • Have you ever done a Master Cleanse? Or at least do a Salt Water Flush tomorrow to cleanse your colon.
    in Detox needed! Comment by frustrated
  • I have been about 75% raw for about 2 months. I immediately felt the benefit in my sleep. I fall asleep much easier, sleep better and wake much easier and with more energy. Even after giving up coffee!!! My suggestion would be to listen to your body…
  • I just eat whenever I am hungry. So I try to make sure that I always have snacks in my purse when I go out. My friends are often amused at what I can pull out of my purse! :)
  • Is there a special reason why you have to cook for your mom? Before I was raw or vegetarian and my mom stayed with me, I tried to respect her eating habits (not eating mushrooms, etc.) as much as possible. Now I certainly wouldn’t roast a chicken if…
    in I need support Comment by frustrated
  • Junebelle- What does your tongue look like? They say that when the tongue is back to pink, your body is finished detoxing. You will continue to detox after your cleanse…especially if you juice. My husband made a juice with beets after his detox that…
  • kminty: It sounds like you aren’t putting in enough water. The “recipe” calls for 8 oz of water with the 1 oz each of lemon juice and maple syrup and I think burroughs mentions that these ratios are very important. If you are still hungry, you may n…
  • No supplements. No additions. You might try less maple syrup to minimize the sweetness or more cayenne. The more cayenne you add, the quicker your cleanse. I don’t know if the agave has the same vitamins/minerals as the maple syrup. Don’t go to bed …
  • So today is Day 10 for me and I am trying to decide if I want to continue on to 14 days. I wanted to go until my tongue was totally pink…but I am going out of town next week for a vaca with my hubby and don’t want to risk any stomach aches. For all …
  • Hi all. I am on Day 8 of my MC and feeling great. I went away to Vermont with my kids and was “inspired” to try snowboarding and LOVED it!! I have so much energy and mental clarity. I also have been sleeping well and wake up ready to go (even with l…
  • So my Day 2 was pretty good. I found that I was really hungry, so I just drank more lemonade. My husband started today (yesterday) so it is nice to have his support. I am really feeling a mental clarity and my mood has definitely improved. I also ha…
  • Good, so I don’t need to drink anymore, unless I get hungry. I was really doing good until dinner time came and I was making dinner for my kids. So I just drank to get through it. (Probably the only time that is okay to say.) I read Stanley Bourogh…
  • Stay strong Marysia…you made it this far! Asatara…wow 30 days…you go girl! I haven’t actually set a time for my MC…going to see how long it takes for the tongue to get pink again. My first day is coming to an end. And I feel pretty good…a little tir…
  • You ladies are amazing. Reading all of your stories has given me the courage to do my first MC. Today is my first day. I had the Salt Water flush this morning and my first Lemonade. I will check back in! Stay strong!
  • Thanks. I have that cookbook but haven’t made the lasagne yet…have had it in the restaurant and is was yummy. I will try to make it this weekend.
  • I have a small cheapo, but when I make anything big, I have to keep dumping and remixing.
  • With a Vitamix, do you still need a food processor? And if so, can someone recommend a good one. Thanks!
  • It would be helpful if the recipe included the total time start to finish as well as active vs. inactive time. And then start the recipe in order of what needs to be done first. I know this seems like a no brainer, but I have several “gourmet” raw u…
  • I am in Valhalla, NY about 30 minutes outside of NYC, so I am fortunate to be close to many raw food options.
