  • thank you! that seems like a decent deal for organic. ive been looking around and that seems cheapest by far.
  • Awesome!! =) And check out my blog if you can, I don't have any readers yet lol.
  • ripitraw.wordpress.com is my blog about being in college and being raw. I'm a sophomore at UF and I feel your pain! I struggled with this so much at first. It's my second semester doing raw and I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere with it. I am…
  • There hasn't been too many, especially not in the U.S. I'm currently reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Raw-Essential-Guide-Vegan/dp/1570672385 which is going over all the studies done ever in raw foods (because there aren't that many…
  • There are tons of marinara, alfredo, pad thai recipes on here. You can eat them cold or warm some water in a pot over the stove and then soak them in the water to eat them warm. Just type in pasta, kelp noodles, pasta sauce, marinara, alfredo, pad t…
  • I honestly think the doctor would not know what to do with that information, except to ignore it or tell the person they need a more "balanced" diet with meat, cheese, etc.

  • When I get bored of bananas, I put one on a plate and sit and eat tiny bites with a fork and savor every bite. It makes it last longer, I enjoy it more, and it seems more like part of a meal when it's on a plate lol. A simple, caloric meal (if you'r…

  • I'm pretty sure they're 'raw', the only reason they are not labeled so is because nobody makes roasted flax seeds, there's no market for them. And the seeds are super protected, they don't go bad for like a year because of all the enzyme inhibitors.…
  • Those lemon drop cookies look delish!! So does the chocolate and the onion bread, all things I love =) Maybe granola bars? I've been looking for inexpensive, dehydrator-free, low-agave granola bars, but these are hard to find in the raw food world. …
  • 1. Everybody has different detox symptoms. For me, it was a headache every day in the afternoon. I had to take a nap to get it to go away. For you it might be more symptoms, since you're switching from a junk food diet. If I were you, I would eat on…
  • hmmm... interesting idea i'm totally into this. you would need something that would keep the "dough" cohesive enough to hold a thing noodley shape. i can't think of anything that would have the texture of real pasta though...
  • I lived in Naples and the only place I knew of was Food and Thought where they had one raw meal a day. Now I live in Gainesville, nothin' here. I have heard there are a few in Miami.

  • ^^Agreed. A lot of the symptoms of it are things that raw foodists have, but some of them made me laugh. On wikipedia it says avoiding foods with certain ingredients like artificial sweeteners and preservatives. Really? Those things are SO bad for y…
  • My mom found me a book at the library called raw energy and it had me taken at the start. I love the whole concept because I've always been interested in nutrition and I had already stopped eating red meat, cheese, and dairy purely for healthy benef…
  • Greens, bell peppers, bananas, and apples. Beyond that it shifts around.
  • Most available sugars are processed with bone char from animals.
  • The book I started out with was Raw Energy by Stephanie Tourles. It's a very snack-oriented recipe book and it's got loads of smoothie, trail mix, dessert, granola bars, parfaits, soups, etc. I LOVE Ani Phyo's recipes and she does have a lot of easy…
  • I also have a dehydrator that has no temperature switch and I bought a $10 thermometer from publix to see how hot it was getting... anywhere for 140 to 180! So now I cut down on dehydrated recipes, and when I do make one, I put it on the top row wit…
  • I agree with you. I work in a customer/food service job and I hate being fake and smiley when I'm hungry or irked that all these people don't care what they're putting into their bodies or THINK they know what's better for them... alas, I am paying …
  • Thank you ambiguous. I figured going by my body was the best thing, but I was wondering why so many people on this site advocate fruit early in the day. And superfood, I meant fats as in foods heavy in fat, such as avocadoes and nuts. Fruits may hav…
  • Watch the videos of animals being slaughtered. Read what's REALLY in the cheese you eat and the milk you drink. Look at the nutrients/calorie count of the cheese you eat versus pineapples, apples, bananas, carrots, celery, strawberries, fruits and v…
  • When I started, I had headaches. I probably had other mild symptoms but the headaches were the only noticeable thing. Instead of getting the mid afternoon slump, I got the mid afternoon headache. It was awful. I quit caffeine at about the same time …
  • In some places cheese is considered a dessert. Why not get fancy and creative with seed cheeses? I make sunflower seed cheese and it's delicious. You just have to play with the recipes to get a creamy whipped sort of "cheese" and then top it over be…
  • Come to the University of Florida!! =D I am a student here right now. I think PETA or some other organization rated us one of the most vegan friendly schools in the nation. And I caught the same crap from my dad. All he eats is twinkies and hot sauc…
  • I couldn't afford a Vitamix and did some research to see if I could get a cheaper blender that would do the job. I have Cuisineart PowerEdge 1000-watt blender with BPA free jar (copying this from the front of the manual) because it got almost no bad…
  • Green smoothies fill me up for breakfast, and if you don't have a Vitamix, that's ok. Just get a decent $30-$40 blender and go very easy on it. Follow the manufacturer's instructions, don't add frozen fruit, only refrigerated and make sure there's a…

  • Thanks powerlifter, I had no idea about goitrogens. I have been feeling the need to monitor my iodine intake anyway, but that gives me a lot more incentive!

  • Hey guys! I'm Allie and I've been on here for a while and I've had a blog for a while but no time to network and find people to give me feedback (or even followers, which would be awesome!). My blog is ripitraw.wordpress.com. If any of you guys want…
