  • get yourself a really warm blanket, or maybe even a heating blanket. I was just listening to something from Dr. Graham where he was talking about a) with "hot" food that we eat just a few degrees warmer than our bodies, there's no way that such a sm…
    in Baby, it's cold outside.... Comment by crispypear
  • mmm, i should try that. i have some truly sundried tomatoes. i'd been so disappointed by no overt dressings, i just moved to blended salads instead ofr a hearty dinner. maybe sundried tomatoes and celery and mango?

  • I second what Erin says... I switched to 811 very quickly after going raw (just two weeks or so), but since then, I've been able to eat lots and still lose weight
    in Weight Gain Whilst Raw Comment by crispypear
  • if you just allow yourself to eat fruits and vegetables as much as you want, even if it's a comfort motivation, it may lose some of its appeal...and you'll actually end up overeating less, since, if it's not verboten anymore, it doesn't have the sam…
    in Advice for reducing/stopping emotional eating Comment by crispypear
  • The way I always look at it is that many people who eat a traditional diet, (a) get coffee at Starbucks in the morning and then (b) get some sort of takeout (lunch or dinner), and that adds up to over $10, probably more like $15. And then you have t…
    in How much do you spend per week on food and for how many people? mini rant included Comment by crispypear
  • i found Fred Patenaude and Roger Haeske really motivating. it's kind of hard sell on their websites, but i find their advice to be very down to earth and less esoteric than some others.

    in Are you with ME?!?!?! Comment by crispypear
  • How is your exercise routine? Also, what is your balance of carbs / protein / fat? If you desire to release weight, perhaps try to cut down your fat intake and see what that does for your physique and energy level. This is just an idea -- I'm just t…

  • avocado oil is a wonderful all-purpose moisturizer and conditioner. I don't use any other creams, lotions or hair conditioners.

  • First, just wanted to say hi! to Seoul... I lived there several years ago for a year after college teaching English and learning Korean. (I lived with a Korean family). Also, I should probably reserve my judgment on other peoples' diets until I have…

    in What's your current obsession?! Comment by crispypear
  • yoohoo, anyone still there? Anyways, I should be on my nineteenth day of raw, but it didn't happen that way, and instead this is my 9th day of raw. I really feel it's starting to get easier for me now though. Right now, doing a persimmon island :) I…

  • I'm still here... Still eating lots of fruit plus about 1/2 to 1 pound of greens per day. :) Going much better now, for some reason than when I tried to start out beginning of this month. I've been much more able to just eat fruit as much as I want …

  • I've been back on track the last few days. Eating fruit as much as I want during the day in four or five meals. Sometimes I don't have time to make green smoothies or blended salads and I end up eating just a lot of fruit. (I do want to make an effo…

  • detox / cravings have been so bad... I think I'm going to try to fast a few days to get jump started.

  • ::: sigh ::: I am really struggling today, and I'm not sure why. Well, this thread is really helping me to keep on track. That and listening to podcasts and audiobooks about raw food. And just eating more raw food when I crave cooked food. :)

  • ... okay, I realize I'm monopolizing this thread, BUT grape and celery dressing: not really doing it for me. I think I prefer naked salads to this. I think I'll try the savory vegetable stews tomorrow. Anyody else do these? Only thing I'm skeptical …

  • For what it's worth, check out baby led weaning: http://www.baby-led.com/. I try to do this with my son. Basically, the idea is to wait until at LEAST 6 months, if not longer, until your baby shows real interest in food, and then just offering wedge…

  • thank you, I will try it. I am on a quest to find a no-overt-fats dressing. Today I'll try celery blended with grapes and see how that goes. That way I can save up the bit of overt fat I can eat, while keeping overall fat low -- my choice is always …
