• I have been there, just around the amount of time raw that you are jkd. I always thought it was my subconcious trying to “test” if raw was really the right way to go. I felt horrible afterwards, and that really made me “know” that raw was the way I …

• Morning_Theft, I am so happy for you that you are finding some peace and love in your life again! That is a wonderful, often under-talked about benefit to raw foods. As far as the fruit and fat thing…when I was about 1-2 weeks 100% raw, I went for a…

• I have been growing my own kale in the gargen and it is so wondeful and tasty, not bitter, as Ofek said. I live in the mountains, so even in June, we got some nice frost, which left the kale so sweet and lovely! On another note, I was wondering if a…

• Odessa7, I wish I could be more help as far as recipes go…I would suggest asking your friend of specific foods that are “safe” and then let your creative juices flow as you create your own recipes for a fabulous brunch!

• I guess I should have clarified (though others did for me…Thanks!) I meant that honey can be raw, just not vegan. I also agree about the poor bees, I think about it often and wonder if buying raw honey would help. Omshanti, I am glad the soaking and…

• Agave, honey, and maple syrup are not raw. Stevia is raw if you get it from the plant directly, otherwise it has been processed. If you want an easy, raw sweetener, soak dates in water until soft, remove the pits, then blend them into a syrup using …

• I just posted a pineapple basil drink. I am not sure if you would want to do that, since you didn’t want to any citrus, pineapple might be too acidic as well. But, thought I would let you know anyway.

• I have not done any food combining mostly because I have not felt the need to do so. I have never had any adverse reactions to combining whatever foods I want together, as long as they are raw.

• Thanks for the un-chicken finger recipe! I can’t wait to try it when I get back to Flagstaff and can use my excaliber! Good to know it might need more OJ, too. When I made the BBQ ones, I put HUGE globs on the tray and was surprised how much smaller…

• I think you are probably right, they are not raw, since they have already split. On a side note, I tried that un-chicken fingers recipe from Alissa Cohen, is that that one you are talking about? I tried the spicier one, and it was definetely spicey……

• Sounds like it could be a combo. of spinach and detox making for those stinky diapers and loose movements. Hang in there, it won’t last long if you keep it raw.

• I am not sure what your 2 year old daughter was eating before going raw, but it could be the detox process. My daughter is 3 and her diapers have no smell and she is almost 100% raw. She does occassionally have loose stool, but that is usually when …

• The only thing we have in our freezer is nuts and frozen fruit, so no bad odors get into the nuts. In the fridge, the glass jars keep the smells out. That, and they get used up faster than any odor could get it.
