• It may be your stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) level is low. This can make you feel queasy when eating, especially a RAW diet. You could try a really good digestive enzyme to help out. Most you take right before you eat and it helps break your food…

• When I "gently warm" things, especially raw soup in the winter...I use the double-boiler method. In the bottom pan, I bring the water to a rolling boil, I then take it off the heat and place the top pan (or glass bowl or whatever you are using) on t…

• Just out of curiousity...how are people, especially those new to being raw, supposed to learn if we criticize their questions or act shocked that they dare to ask them? May I, please, just offer the friendly reminder that not everyone is at the leve…

  in eating raw fish sushi style Comment by juicefastfan
• If you choose to eat fish, then yes, there are 'healthier' ways to go about it and there are some fish that are a better choice than others. For example, fish (wild caught is ALWAYS best...I wouldn't even considered farm-raised an option) that have …

• It takes a bit to get used to spinach, it did for me anyway. I started out using romaine lettuce, it is still one of the healthier lettuces but has a more mild taste to it and blends well in a smoothie. My kids will drink smoothies with spinach but …

• Don't stop a fever! It is your bodies defense mechanism against germs. It raises the temp to kill off foreign bodies, making it in inhabitable place for them to live. Fevers aren't a need for concern unless they go over 103 in children...and even th…

• Yep, simplicity is key for making it in the raw...whether it is one day or 100. It'd probably help to plan out what you're having that day so it's easier to stick to it. But, like Joanna said fruit for breakfast would be great, if you have blood sug…

• Are you new to the raw lifestyle? Are you eating anything different than before? Was it recently after you ate something? It could be a sign of detox, but it could also be low blood sugar (I've had sugar probs since I was like 11 so way too familiar…

• If I sound "preachy" I apologize, but what I am going to say, comes from a place of belief and faith...with that...first of all, we are all born sinners, each and every one of us. We are all sinful and wicked. I am a born-again Christian. I asked Je…

• I'm not 100% raw and I don't really plan to be, for the simple reason that I don't feel that it is enough for me. I am high raw, 85% or higher, and when I eat cooked food, it is still an organic vegan diet. Usually its millet in a gluten-free taboul…
