• I did not care for the Nutiva protein shakes.... apparently, they don't hull their hemp first, so it's gritty and not that great tasting. There are other brands out there that are better... i just cannot remember their names. Sprouting Quinoa is an …

• I won't even make pretend that I know how to fix this :) However, I will tell you that it sounds good. Maybe next time leave out the apples or atleast, don't puree them. You could always cut away pieces from the edge and then leave the rest in a bit…

• Trouble- that's awesome! I'm right around 34 minutes for the 5K runs i've been doing (practice). However, the person that I run with, says that she's going to work me harder today - I'm scared :) I was hoping to finish under 30, but I just don't see…

• Now I"m thoroughly confused... I've always heard to workout just as i normally would while fasting. Maybe not water fasting, but any other type of fast... I've always worked out before and never had a problem with it... so, again, i'm confused :) I'…

• I don't live in NYC, but I've heard that you can get these at Whole Foods. I have a bag in my fridge that I WILL NOT be using. I wish i lived closer to give these to you. I don't like them - i've tried them 3 different times and I just don't like th…

• I'm combining the above answers: My husband to be Raw so that I don't have to look at the non-raw items anymore (or cook them for that matter!)... A raw chef or a prep person... since for me, that's the time consuming part. I'd have 1 more blendtec …

• The first time i did the MC, i felt horrible on day 7 but felt terrific on the other days. The last 2 or 3 times I've done the cleanse, I haven't had that horrible day 7 feeling. I think it's because i'm eating more pure foods and not as many toxins…

• I was just reading somewhere that in order to lose 2 pounds per week, you need to burn 500 calories per day. I'm not sure how true this is, but since reading it, i've tried to push myself to do just that on the days where i'm at the gym. So far, in …

• I also can't and don't eat cashews. There are so many other nuts/seeds out there that don't bother me, so i use those. I tend to use Brazil's and Pine Nuts most often since they are the softest. Occasionally i'll have cashews, but only if doesn't ta…

• I do 7-10 day juice fasts and find it thoroughly helpful. I don't believe you have to do 30 days to be successful. Going raw is definitely a cleanse in itself. Beet Juice is definitely cleansing for the liver, so try to drink some beet juice - i giv…
