  • I found a pretty cheap, decent organic full-leaf tea online: http://www.amazon.com/Davidsons-Tea-Decaf-Green-16-Ounce/dp/B000SARJPG/ref=sr_1_124?ie=UTF8&s=grocery&qid=1268956769&sr=1-124 I'm in no way connected to this company, I just am…

  • nice ad hominem argument, superfood2! great way to make an argument.
    in Raw Fish? Comment by brontesaurus
  • wow sweet, I expected a more thoughtful response, not another question asking for someone else's approval. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahaha
    in Fed up!!! Comment by brontesaurus
  • wow, definitely agree with what you said superfood2 ("working on positive body statements/thoughts and loving yourself more, regardless of what you eat") sweet- I think that you should honestly stop looking to other people. Do what is right for YOU,…

  • sweet, why don't you want to eat raw, dehydrated buckwheat? It sounds like you enjoyed it and it worked well with your body. and its raw. so why stop?

  • just read an article about exactly this! http://www.slate.com/id/2251432/
  • Why would you want sugar to enter and leave your bloodstream quickly? A stable blood sugar provides a constant, stable source of energy whereas "spikes" of glucose create fatigue. I'm sorry, but I really don't think what you're saying is factually c…
  • could someone please provide any scientific backing to what you are saying? From my knowledge, by slowing the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream you are not raising your blood sugar levels - because it is "slowed" it does not spike your blood…
  • vegankid- I referred to you only in the sentence about your video. The other sentences are referring to other members. I in no way intend to question your recovery. I am incredibly biased in that I have struggled in the past with an eating disorder …
  • wow, thank you for all of your comments. I'm glad that I'm not the only one feeling like this.
  • To all those who said coffee - I would SERIOUSLY advise you to switch to green tea. I used to be a coffee addict but then I began to drink black tea (chai in the morning), and then oolong in the morning, and now - green tea. Green tea still caffeina…
  • From NPR.org (National Public Radio) http://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?storyId=111429489 Michael Pollan, by the way, is an acclaimed author, columnist, activist, and professor of journalism at the University of California, Berke…
  • Hi rawspice! A few things strike me about your post: you would like to lose weight and you are unsatisfied immediately switching to a raw diet. Now, I am not 100% raw so I'm sure others will disagree with me, but I think that you should focus on tra…
  • I use spirulina in my morning smoothie as well along with spinach, frozen berries, 1/2 frozen banana, maca, coconut oil, hemp and whey protein (I'm not 100% raw) and almond milk! sooo good! the berries and banana mask the spinach and spirulina very …
  • Estrogen and testosterone are both produced from cholesterol.. only one chemical step away from each other. amazing!
  • Interesting... they should check out GreenAndCrunchy.com - a HEALTHY raw vegan family of 7. This mother (in the article) simply needed to know more about her and her family's diet. She should not have relied on the fact that a raw diet is healthy - …
  • oh wait, and I use aloe vera gel as a facial and body moisturizer as well. Trader Joe's sells a 99% pure aloe vera gel for a few bucks.
  • I've found that Dr. Bronners is my miracle product. I use Dr. Bronners castile soap on my body (I tried on my hair, but it was a little too drying). I also use it to clean my room, to clean my car, and I've heard people use it for laundry and toothp…
  • I just recently purchased some organic raw agave nectar from Wholesome Sweeteners (the deal was just too good, 88 oz. for $11) and it says it was processed under 118 degrees. It is, however, from Mexico, so I hope there is no cross contamination : /

  • Does she mean spirulina? I tablespoon has about 4g of protein. I add a few tablespoons to my shakes..kind of sweetens them a bit, but don't add too much or else it will taste a bit fishy. I second quinoa (a complete protein) and hemp powder. If you …
    in So Angry! Comment by brontesaurus
  • Sorry superfood2, I didn't mean to demean anyone's lifestyle. I have a different relationship with food, seeing as I have struggled with an eating disorder (and understand how dangerous it is, personally, to obsess over my food choices-thus allowing…
    in Oh no... Comment by brontesaurus
  • mikfizzle, why is your mother "doing a raw thing?" if it were for health, then it seems odd she would disapprove of your raw lifestyle. this sounds exactly like my mother, and you sound exactly like me. 5'6.5 ft and 115 lbs is underweight, a BMI of …

  • amazon.com! or iherb.com (which sells Nativas Naturals, for ex: raw cacao powder 16 oz for $13) and I'm really sorry for another mention/shameless plug BUT if you choose to purchase it from iherb.com, you can get $5 off your first purchase with code…
  • ugh. just, ugh. Congratulations on making an ad hominen attack! If you would like to refute my claim, then please refute my claim! Calling me a passive acceptor of pharmaceutical and government propaganda is besides the point. I have science to back…
  • kelly, I completely agree with you there-the power of a healthy diet! I think that is why we are both here : ] I was just left aghast when I read this: "so that is why people that eat unhealthy have menstrual cycles every month, because they are so …
  • Kelly, your logic is .. interesting. If you would like to deny science, then go ahead. I completely agree that some studies are very sided (influenced by multi-national corporations), however, the simple science of the human body is just, undeniable…
  • .kelly. - Maybe your increased intake of vitamins from being on a healthier diet, or slight weight loss has resulted in a lighter period flow. I'm not sure, and I'm not going to give out any advice because I am not a doctor, and unlike other people …
  • and, might I add that cramping results from the release of progesterone which causes the uterus to expel menstrual fluid and thus, causes cramps. Oxytocin, which acts in the same way - smooth muscle contraction - causes "cramps" during birth called …
