  • Hi all Think I have solved my GS problem…I think the problem lies with the multivitamin tablet I take with breakfast!!! Two days without taking it and I have managed two GS with no problem :) REally can’t believe it as I have been taking that multiv…
  • thanks for the ideas :) I don’t think it is the blender because if I make pure fruit smoothies there is no problem…like last night I had a banana/strawberry smoothie and it was fine. I don’t use any special veggie wash…but I don’t rinse my greens at…
  • Is that just normal buckwheat you’re sprouting? Or is it a different form to the “standard” buckwheat you can get in health food shops? thanks :)
  • luckily I LOVE bananas…my work colleagues have even started noticing and saying things like “surely more than two of those a day is not good for you”...as I eat like five in front of them lol thanks for the tips. I’m realising that the only way I’m …
  • I am aiming to be 811 one day. My biggest struggle….trying to get enough calories!!! I’m too FULL to eat much more than about 1200 cals of pure fruit/veggies. How do you successful 811ers do it? Any tips for bumping up the cals without the fat?
  • I’m in, will start tomorrow :)
  • Hi! I have exactly the same problem as you. I have struggled with bulimia for nearly five years. My binges are SCARY, I eat so much and honestly feel suicidal afterwards I hate myself so much. Sugar triggers binges, nuts trigger binges, starches tri…
  • I find I need something every couple of hours, so I eat at breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, mid-afternoon and dinner. I’d like to eat less frequently but I just don’t seem to be able to at the moment. Doesn’t help that I use insulin so if I misjudge m…
  • I don’t eat any grains any more and don’t miss them at all…amazingly because I came from cooked vegan eating HUGE plates of brown rice, oats, millet etc but my dietician at the hospital is trying to get me to eat them (cooked obviously). She has mad…
  • I think too much fat in one go too!
  • I guess everyone’s different… But I agree that for me I don’t always get enough calories if I just go by whether I’m full or hungry. I seemed to be getting around 1100 a day, which I do not consider to be enough especially when I do about 6 hours of…
  • I get that sometimes…I wonder if it is because raw has so much fibre. So, your tummy feels full because you have eaten a lot of fibre, but you haven’t eaten enough calories yet so you still feel hungry. Not sure if I have expressed that very well :)
  • I’m going as raw as possible – I guess that will be 99/100% most days, but then I still enjoy eating a cooked dish at a restaurant even if I don’t feel so good the next day :)
  • No time to post yesterday… but I’m back now right at the end of the 100% week. Have to say I ate some cooked tonight as we went out for a curry….had a salad along with mixed veg curry. But it was good and I enjoyed it. Loved this week, and it was ea…
  • Hi all How is everyone doing? Didn’t get time to post yesterday, but had another great tasting day lol Today: breakfast – one galia melon, mid-morning – one banana, lunch – half a pineapple, one banana, butternut squash rice with iceberg lettuce, mi…
  • Can’t believe day 3 is done already…this is going SOOOO fast! Didn’t feel so hungry today, but had a headache all day from the moment I got up. Needed LOTS of water again. Breakfast: one galia melon Mid-morning: half a pineapple Lunch: huge salad of…
  • Day 2 done! Breakfast: one honeydew melon Mid-morning: three bananas Lunch: 4 oranges, huge salad with leftovers from yesterday (carrot/cauliflower rice and lettuce) and half an avocado Mid-afternoon: 2 oranges and 4 dates Dinner: small piece of raw…
  • Well, I have had fun eating today… Breakfast: one honeydew melon Mid-morning: half a cantaloupe melon, handful of pumpkin seeds Lunch: 4 little plums (not good though :( ), huge salad of plum tomatoes, lettuce, fennel, parsley Mid-afternoon: 2 banan…
  • Good luck everyone! Have just begun with a whole honeydew melon for breakfast…yum! Claire
  • Well, I do my shopping on Thursday nights, so I now have in my kitchen… 1 pineapple (not yet ripe!) punnet of nectarines (not yet ripe!) punnet of purple plums 2 honeydew melons 2 galia melons 1 cantaloupe melon 2 bags oranges some red apples 2 bunc…
  • Count me in! Have had an awful week for food this week, need to get back to raw! :)
  • I have no problems with agave raising my blood sugar. I seem to be fine with raw chocolate too…that’s what I’m getting this year from my family for my first diabetic Easter!
  • I’ve had to stop the nuts too even though I LOVE them :( Like others among you, they make me binge big time and then (obviously!!!) I feel ill. I just can’t eat a small amount. Then a few times now I have had an allergic reaction after eating them…s…

  • I have asked whether my Mum can get me raw chocolate instead of an egg this year. Don’t think she really understood the concept of raw chocolate even though I tried to explain :) But she’s happy because she’s still getting me “chocolate”. I have ord…
  • I know how you feel!!! My Mum is always on the lookout for me being “faddy” with my eating, especially as I’m diabetic and she worries about my health. I wouldn’t say I am trying to be a raw foodist because she would get hysterical. I just said that…
  • Thanks for the useful responses :) Izhpt I don’t soak my nuts…could try that in the future. Have never had a reaction with fruit by itself, so I guess I will take your advice and stick to fruit only. All4Raw I don’t think the banana was the culprit …
  • I personally am cautious about doing a cleanse/fast because I am type 1 diabetic and I’m not sure how things would work with my insulin/needing to eat if my blood sugar crashes etc. But I think if you don’t have these kind of issues a cleanse/fast c…

  • Hi Lyn-doe I totally know what it’s like! I have had huge problems with bingeing for about five years. I can eat a huge amount of food in one go…though it’s always junk, so I guess not really food!!! Had been better for a few weeks, then this week i…

  • Hi Not too sure about the pH thing…though I notice for sure that when I test the day after eating cooked/processed/too many nuts, I am more acidic. I’m still transitioning so I have a few days like this lol :) I would also like to do a juice fast…I …
