  • Does anyone experience the same problems with ground flaxseeds?
  • I’ve tried it and all fruit made my insulin levels completely imbalanced. So what I recommend you do is eat fruit if you like, but have a couple bunches of fresh, crisp, green lettuces such as red leaf, etc, all chopped up and washed so you can much…

  • Instead of eating warm foods, eat “warming” foods with spices such as cayenne, ginger, etc.
  • Enzyme inhibitors aside, I think the problem with nuts is the high fat content, and the problem with dates and some other dried fruits is the high sugar, high glycemic load. I mentioned previously that I did not feel that raw foods which mock SAD fo…
  • Use less oil and a mandoline slicer on thinnest setting to get desired result.
  • Roadrunner, you look tall and fit. I think organic bananas taste superior and are less sugary than their conventional counterparts. Also, the mini bananas are even less sugary with a unique taste. I also find that freezing bananas changes the taste,…
  • Squats and lunges, squats and lunges. Weight resistance exercises are necessary to build muscle. Aerobics and running alone will not get you the thighs you want.

  • Leafy greens and fruits (sweet, acid, sub-acid, nonsweet, melons) have different digestion times. Mixing these causes indigestion. I think this is a case of poor food combining.

  • I just adopted a new child as well…she’s 7 weeks, 1.2 lbs, a beautiful baby kitten! Congrats to me!!!
  • I don’t believe Cousen’s approach is healthy at all. He emphasizes fat and more fat, nuts and more nuts. Graham, on the other hand, emphasizes fruits with some greens. Frankly, I think the best approach is to keep a food journal so you can see what …
  • Medjool dates at the Co-Op here are .50 cents EACH!
  • I’m going to also start a juice fast/detox Dec 1. I am definitely ready.
  • I love honey, too, but for me it is like any other exploited and abused animal. I won’t consume a product if it is going to perpetuate cruelty or disdain for wildlife or domestic animals. I certainly don’t need it to survive. Cows produce milk for t…
  • I just peel very sweet, ripe bananas, split them in half and fill a gallon freezer bag full of banana halves. Then when ready to make a smoothie, take some bananas out, toss in blender with water or juice and other fruit/greens, let thaw 10 minutes,…
  • Wheatgrass would kill my centrifugal juicer. I have a Greenstar 1000 which works fine for wheatgrass juicing. Don’t forget to let your kitties and pups nibble on some wheatgrass, too. They love it!
  • Originally from Upstate NY, 9 yrs in Miami FL, almost 1 yr in Moscow ID, soon will be moving again..
  • I personally find that whole raw foods cause a slow and steady detox, whereas juice fasting causes a much quicker and more noticeable detox. On whole raw foods, you have nothing to worry about. Allow your body to heal and detoxify through clean livi…
    in Afraid of detox Comment by laurajean
  • Yowsa, that’s some crazy raw food combination going on there, cc78! When I first went raw, I did the same thing, and boy did I eat nonstop and suffer the consequences. Here is my advise. Do two things: 1) Juice cleanse and 2)Mono eat. I don’t mean y…
  • I used to have to remind myself…”Donuts can’t buy me love..” Anything can trigger compulsive overeating. It is about choice, however. Pick up that apple instead of those truffles. Or sprinkle some cinnamon and nutmeg on green apple slices. Chew slow…
  • I think a couple small handfuls of something like raisins and pumpkin seeds might help to calm the initial sweet craving. I also make popsicles out of blended fruits and juices and greens, which are great at calming my cravings. Some popsicle combos…
  • I personally prefer juicing for cleansing/detox. It does require a determined mindset. When I feel too weak or detoxy, I sometimes drink some hot miso broth or have a small piece of fruit or small smoothie to pull through.

  • Tainted, toxic pet food from pet food plants in China have KILLED many a beloved pet (family member) here in the United States. So in all fairness, I am with Rawfeelings on this issue. I would not ever again buy potentially tainted pet food from the…

  • Regarding koolieaided’s post, it sounds like you have Rosacea. My sis,father and I have it, and you can help it by wearing sunscreen, avoiding caffeine, hot beverages and spicy foods which aggravate it, and there are special prescription creams whic…
  • I keep a daily log. I don’t count calories. Here’s what I ate last 4 days. SAT: grapefruit/apple/strawberry juice; persimmon/orange/carrot juice; 1/2 granny apple; 2 pears SUN: few bites of honeydew; papaya/banana shake; 5 dried Turkish apricots …
