• It changes constantly this need to eat and how much.I suspect as our bodies get cleaner and absorb real nutrition our lizard brains can ‘hear’ our bodies needs better. And just like everything else in life it all cycles’round. ;o)

• ......Not a Trucker!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. BTW I forgot to mention that at the same time that my pits became hair free a super pretty WHISKER started to grow sporadically from my chin. I pluck it. Never leave home without my tweezer. Hard to feel li…

  in Do you shave pits/legs? Comment by Marichiesa
• I still shave my legs. My kids freak when they feel all prickly. Funny I could never stand prickly hair on my Mom when I was a kid either. ( maybe we are supposed to feel soft? ) but since going raw I don’t grow armpit hair anymore. No Lie. Weird ri…

• kminty, do you have access to an infrared sauna? I bought one almost a year ago and it has really helped the detox/metals thing. Its not cheap I’ll grant you but I love it. One of the best purchases I ever made.

• Yup I love mine. Best mongo huge appliance I ever owned.

• I think Green and Blacks 70% bars are a great transition treat. I often take them with me when I travel so if I get a chocolate jones I don’t blow it on something awful. Its true you can make fantastic raw chocolate treats but don’t pack your bags f…

  in How much dark chocolate do you eat? Comment by Marichiesa
• You know I love all the raw recipes but I find that I get greedy and obsessive when I try to make too many. So when I feel myself getting manic over what to eat I remind myself to keep it simple. Just a simple green salad and some avocado or seed cr…

• They look pretty yummy. This site had cool info. www.veganyumyum.com/2007/05/fiddlehead-ferns. Maybe toss some with some olive oil zucchini noodles and the morel mushrooms as recommended? Hmmmm. Yum.

• Are the other ingredients you are blending at room temp? Maybe try warming the oil very gently in a water bath or dehydrator and then blend.

• Oh thank gawd I’m not alone. I’ve been fixated on rum raisen ice cream and biscuits and sausage gravy. (WHAAAAT???? ) So far I haven’t caved. The biscuits I’m sure I can override but the haagen daaz is calling like a siren. I’m hoping this is hormon…

• GMO foods are so disturbing. This whole issue really scares me. Not that I’m personally advocating any of the foods on this list (www.truefoodnow.org/shoppersguide/guide_printab… ) it might be worth showing to friends and family who are transitionin…

  in IMPORTANT!!! New disease linked to GMO foods!!! Comment by Marichiesa
• Hi Carmentina, Thanks for the details. Without seeing your hand as a whole I think that some mineral lack is at play. Yes, zinc can be the culprit but it may also be Vitamin D. Lots of people see an increase in these markings on their nails in the l…

• Okay horizontal white lines-got it. which fingers, index? ring? etc…;O) I’m on the case!

  in White lines on nails Comment by Marichiesa
• I’m really loving this topic as I have practiced hand analysis for years! Can you tell me Carmentina if the white lines are horizontal or vertical? Are they on all your fingernails or a few fingernails in particular? While its true that long term st…

• You know I really liked those crackers too but also found them a bit heavy to digest. Recently, I made spicey mexican flax crackers from this site but I subbed chia seeds for the flax and they were AWESOME! Really light and crunchy and easy to diges…

  in Mangers in a Mange land... Comment by Marichiesa
• Hey Humanimal, Thanks for this thread. I’m with you. Been feeling a little out there of late as many recipes seem to be heavy on the cashews or sweets. Heavy stuff in general. All yummy needless to say but a steady diet of it ain’t much better than …

• You know I just started lifting weights again and I am building muscle faster than I expected. I even ran intervals alternating 5.5 to 4.0 for 40 minutes the other day and I haven’t attempted that in three years. I’m finding that pineapple and fresh…

• 90%-100% for a year, now about 80-85% last two months. Either way its second nature. I hardly even think about it anymore. Neither does anyone close to me.

  in days/weeks/months/years? Comment by Marichiesa
• Hysterical! Prolly better to eat raw than dairy or a double QP w/cheese but in general all that late night food sitting in your gut when the party is over isn’t going to do wonders for your health. On the other hand. Whatev. Its just food. :0)

  in drunken eating Comment by Marichiesa
• I’m sure I’ve said this before on other threads but raw or not younger individuals and men in particular metabolize nuts MUCH better than women and especially women over 30/35. That doesn’t mean those of us female based life forms can never eat nuts…

• Hey Queenfluff, The liquid Bentonite I bought goes under the brand name Sonne’s and I bought it at whole foods. It is virtually tasteless and harmless. You do need to drink lots of water with it because it draws up toxins from the colon. But in my e…

  in Cancer caused by candida? Comment by Marichiesa
• Hi Queenfluff, For what its worth I paid for and did the Dr. Natura colon cleanse and was not all that impressed. This past January I was having some major league candida issues and I did a candida/colon cleanse using liquid bentonite clay, caprylic…

  in Cancer caused by candida? Comment by Marichiesa
• What I find so interesting about this doctors hypothesis is that it IS well known at this point that cancer cells love SUGAR in all it varied forms. Of course candida thrives on sugars as well. My fIL has been struggling with a rare lymphoma for the…

• Yeah I know what you mean. Honestly I think he is well intentioned but sometimes he comes across as a bit of a zealot. I love raw food and all but the cultism a la David Wolfe weirds me out.

• I haven’t heard that although I will try it. I have found for myself though that on an all raw diet raw garlic does not make me smell. If I eat it cooked THEN I stink in a big way!!

• I haven’t tried quinoa ‘cause I just don’t take to grains in general. Bummer. Wild Rice is good though! I also may start subbing chia seeds in some recipes that call for flax because sometimes flax feels really heavy in my gut too. Gawd, I sound lik…
