• Can we keep the GOD discussions in the Christian section of the forum (I think it's labelled, "hello raw Christians"?) This site is supposed to be about discussion the RAW, VEGAN food and lifestyle and not about preaching the ethics behind eating an…

• Going off topic again :D Isn't part of the point of eating organic, raw, vegan food to minimize the environmental contaminants we put it our bodies? Obviously we're ingesting some through our inorganic foods and polluted air but it seems silly to kn…

• You should ABSOLUTELY NOT be eating this every day. I'm actually shocked that you think it's okay! If you are consuming wild - not farmed fish - you are consuming fish that is swims in waters contaminated with high levels of mercury, polychlorinated…

• I'm interested in this too as my yard is absolutely FULL of big, wild aloe plants and my acne on my face is HORRIBLE (no end in sight!)

• I vomit every time I eat spinach - seems you CAN have too much of a good thing! - so I've moved on to other greens. You might have an intolerance too? Although it sounds like mixing lemon juice with spinach and carrot is a recipe for disaster! Just …

• You're not hungry because your body is full of fantastic fiber, which makes you feel full, regardless of the calories you've consumed. 850 is NOT enough calories to sustain you - not even close! Eat often - bananas are a great way to gain calories A…

• liger - are you eating ENOUGH? A lot of people think they can eat the same sized salads and fruit portions when they go raw and end up not eating nearly enough calories to sustain them! You should be eating A LOT - especially if you're transitioning…

• I tried using spinach instead of kale. The "chips" are super thin and are really crumbly if over-dehydrated and gross and soggy (especially if you are coating or marinating the spinach beforehand with any oil) if under-dehydrated. Eventually I found…

• It's so much fun reading everyone's responses. It's amazing how different we all are :) 1: What country are you from? Kenya 2: What's your occupation? Wildlife Photographer/Freelance writer 3: How long have you been Raw? 6 months at 100% 4: Favourit…

• Hi sixthangel9716 - I don't eat nuts and seeds (I react badly to a lot of them) but I eat one giant avocado a day (which are naturally high in fat) and tons of fruit - literally KGs of it a day - and the weight is steadily coming off. STOP READING a…

• RAW CAN play a HUGE role in healing alcoholism and, in my opinion, proper nutrition (i.e. raw) is second only to abstinence in terms of healing this illness. "Alcoholics have used up their nutrient stores and are often drawing on their own tissues f…

• Harkis - Your lack of sleep is alcohol-related. When I was drinking, I was ALWAYS awake in the wee hours of the morning. My father - who's an alcoholic - has the same problem with insomnia. Drunk sleep is not restful sleep! It took me weeks to get a…

• Hi rawlizard! I'm in my fourth month of 100% raw and I do NOT consume any seeds, nuts or nut/seed milks (my body just can NOT tolerate them in any quantity) and have managed to be successful. I also struggled with bread in the beginning - I'm a sand…

• Iceberg lettuce (which I don't eat), spinach, something called sukuma wiki - which is like spinach but bigger and tougher (I think it might be collard or kale?) and a small lettuce with soft green and red leaves and that's it! Right now I seem okay …
