  • Like emtpdmom said, http://www.sproutpeople.com/seeds.html P.S. (For future reference) there's plenty of information out there that you can get easily. At the least search the forum for past threads, you would have found a dozen the exact same as th…
  • When I was doing strict 2 meals a day I slept an average of 4 hours per night, now I do 6-7 hours.
  • For many breads, you can use the whole vegetables blended. It turns out more or less the same, but might take longer to dehydrate. Another great method is using a nut milk bag to strain out the liquid. Or, try straining it through cheesecloth, which…

  • What's wrong with bleach?
    in Cleaning sprout bag Comment by eecho
  • I steralize with boiling, however I find with the bags that it doesn't remove the smell or discoloration.

  • I rinse it after every use, wash it with castille soap every now and then, and then whenever it gets really brown and accumulates an odor (every couple months), I bleach it.

  • Haha, I like Arnold explaining it, he's a good guy:
  • You could also try blending the banana with some water or other juice and then use a nut milk bag to strain the pulp.

  • Trying doing more exercise on a consistent basis. This is another factor in allowing your body to do all of its functions like it should. Weak body = poor functionality, strong body = strong functionality
  • wow, that gorilla sandwich idea is the best thing ever

  • lol, superfood2's responses are always like reading 80/10/10. Either 1) eat more bananas or 2) too much fat. So predictable. Not necessarily wrong, but humorously predictable. And often right, I would say Also, though, "poor health" is also relative…

  • A few ideas: - make your fridge colder - add honey (anti-microbial property) - get more practice. over time making some nut milk does not long at all. and then, getting up a few extra minutes early won't be a big deal. you can do it! - re-blend befo…

  • I agree, but keep in mind that everyone is different. How your body responds to food and exercise depends on so many factors that each person basically has to find their own way of going about it.

  • Biking consistently would definitely be good. However "enough" depends on your goals and your body. Start out with the biking and whatever else you choose, then after a couple weeks adjust your program depending on how much progress you are making. …

  • 1) Exercise consistently. Its not just about gaining body fat, its also about gaining muscle. I am guessing your muscles are very underdeveloped. Remember: consistency is key. Twice per week every week is better than every day of the week, once per …

  • Human beings can't eat every type of raw food. For instance, raw legumes are toxic to us. Regarding plants, we can't digest every type of plants. Animals like cows have stomaches with multiple compartments to digest their food a certain way. A good …
  • I used to binge on hard days. I used to eat pizza during midterms when I was completely stressed out. I am not sure exactly what has changed. I haven't comfort ate on processed or non-vegan food in a long time. A lot of my progress has to do with my…
  • I used to eat many meals a day. If I were to guess how many calories I consumed per day in high school, I would guess about 4000 or 5000. At lunch I would eat two school lunches in addition to junk-food snacks from the vending machine. I would eat a…

  • Yes, I believe that Kombucha isn't as bad as coffee, but it is not an ideal drink, especially as something to consume on a regular basis. See this thread. Its important to note that all of that "energy" you feel is probably the un-eaten processed su…
  • Yes, everything is a personal choice. Can someone be healthy and drink coffee? Sure. However, if you take an extremely healthy person and add coffee to their diet, will they become more healthy? Probably not. Actually it will probably take away from…
  • YES, stop!! Caffeine is a stimulant, its addictive, and its no good for our body. You will definitely feel much better if you do not drink coffee. There are many studies showing the downside to coffee, here is one: The Toxic Effects of Coffee
  • Break it down. Don't get overwhelmed with thinking long term. Think short term. I.E. What am I going to have for breakfast tomorrow? What's for lunch? What's for dinner? To start out, just eat what you like. If you like fruit, eat that. If you want …
  • 1) Read read read. I always have at least one raw food book that I read. And normally every day I skim some forums, blogs, etc. This will keep you excited and increase your motivation to remain raw. It will also develop a sense of connectedness with…

  • These are some good books that I recommend. Remember that no one is 100% correct, so if an author says something that doesn't quite seem right, it doesn't mean they are completely wack, it just means they have different experiences forming their kno…
  • I think everyone struggles with this to some degree. As an athletic guy, even I struggle with conforming to my eating goals (not eating at night, not overeating ,etc.) Growing up I never knew I had so many addictions, and becoming raw really reveale…
