• When I first went raw, I found I had to eat much more food than when I was cooked. Otherwise, I’d get hungry and I’d be tempted to eat prepared cooked food. A lot of raw foods digest quickly. Now, for some reason, I find I eat less on raw. Probably …

• germin8, yes, a lot of old acne scars went away.I’ve also been taking MSM as a supplement for quite some time. It’s very good for the skin and hair.

• How long have you been raw? They may simply go away over time. That’s what happened to a lot of my acne scars and spots.

• Food combining is based on two premises. 1) Combining incompatible foods results in a competing digestive environment: One food may require certain conditions to digest it (for example, alkaline conditions), and other foods may require an acid condi…

• How often do you guys get bad ones (purple ones). I buy Best brand from my health food store, and usually about half the ones I open are bad.

• San Diego is fantastic for raw foods. There are quite a few raw restaurants. It has the Optimum Health Institute which is a holistic,raw food institute. It has great farmer’s markets, a very good co-op in Ocean Beach and Rancho’s Market in North Par…

• Thanks for all those good tips. I have some Henckel knives, but they’re acting kind of dull right now, so I’ll definitely look for a good steel!

• I ate about 12 inches of fresh, raw burdock root tonight. They have very fresh burdock root at my hfs right now. Sometimes it’s old and limp, but now the burdock they have is firm and crisp. I just ate it like I’d eat a carrot. It’s a little bit swe…

• That’s a helpful list, SITA. Thanks.

• I use my vitamix every single day. Second place lately would be my dehydrator because I soak and dehydrate nuts a lot and make crackers, too. Tied for second place are my food processor and saladacco (I love zuccini angel hair pasta). In third place…

• Renoir, I know what you mean about warmth. This cleanse has been easy for me except toward the end I started getting sooo cold. Yesterday, my husband said the house was like an inferno. I had the heat way up. I was wearing my jeans, a sweat shirt an…

• Geez, I got up this morning, and I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. I got to have orange juice! It was delicious! I’m excited to be making the transition back to food. I’m planning my menu for what I’m going to eat. The first day will be as Bor…

• Sita, I’m on day 10, too, and my tongue is also still coated. I don’t feel I can stay on it much longer, so tomorrow I’m going to start the transition back to food by drinking oj for two days.

• Thanks for the info, Vala. Although I’m not sure I can get through a day just on orange juice. The maple syrup in the lemonade is so fortifying. Orange juice doesn’t seem substantial enough. I guess I’ll try it and see how it goes. I’m glad you’re d…

• nama, I’m glad you got the results you wanted. One thing I haven’t been clear on is breaking the fast with orange juice. Are you going to continue the lemonade and drink orange juice, as well, or are you only going to drink orange juice.

• nama, I’m having the same issue. I haven’t had the purging I expected. I expected the salt water flush to be much more powerful. I read on another board that if it’s not working, to use more salt, so that’s what I’m doing this morning. I went from 2…

• yeah, greenmojo, that’s really too thin. I’m 5’9, and I find the best weight for me is around 145 pounds. Sounds like you should weigh a lot more than 108!! Well, you got seven days of cleansing anyways, and that’s a lot. I wish you the best of luck…

• Oh, I’m sooo cold today!! I haven’t been able to warm up all day. I’m in Southern California, and I know this 55 degree weather is nothing compared to what a lot of you are experiencing, but I’m freeeeeeeeeeezing!! I think I’m just going to get in b…

• Hi Orchid, I hope the “emotional bomb” isn’t too serious. The most powerful thing for me personally to put things in perspective is taking a few minutes to write a gratitude list. Yesterday was a pretty stressful day for me, and I was cooking cooke…

• Tonight is a challenge for me. It’s not awful, and I’m not very hungry, but I’m feeling a little bit bored of the lemonade. This will probably pass. I’ll be fine. I cooked my husband SAD food for dinner, and I was feeling sort of envious of eating. …

• The SWF isn’t making me purge either, so maybe I’ll skip it and do a cup of smooth move tea instead. I’ve been having a cup every evening. I haven’t released much at all doing this fast. I’ve had a couple very small BMs, and I’ve had a tiny bit of d…

• Tonight was slightly challenging for me, too. My husband is recovering from an illness, so I’ve been cooking for him. He’s not raw, and since our diets are so different, he usually cooks for himself, and I usually prepare my own food. But for the ti…

• Day 4 for me. Last night I was uncomfortably hungry, but I was able to handle it fine. This morning I’m not hungry. I’m doing my SWF right now with celtic sea salt. It’s stronger tasting than the “Real salt” brand I was using before. veganpunk, yep…

• Day 3, and I’m feeling really good. I am having some hunger pangs this evening, but certainly nothing I can’t bear. I like how my energy level feels. Fasts have never been easy for me. I’ve done three day green juice fasts before, and frankly they w…

• Hi Sita, Welcome to the board! Sounds like you’re doing great on raw. It’s usually a gradual transition for most people, and it can be rocky especially around the holiday season or in stressful times. I plan on doing the cleanse for at least 10 day…

• That’s perfectly understandable, spiritedmama! I’m sure the three days did you lots of good.
