• I know there was a forum string regarding this not too long ago. You may want to go to the forums section and type in fermented vegetables. I think that is what the string was called.

• Thanks for your kind words and support deasmiles and queenfluff! Thankfully, the issues I had with our company was not related to food/raw food. It actually had to do with attachment parenting, of which I am a “coach” (I help other families learn ho…

• Thank you all for your encouraging words. I am fasting today to get myself back on track, and so far so good! I am not sure if I am going to fast the entire day, or just until dinner. I will make that decision when the time comes. But right now I fe…

• Very interesting reading alcy. Thanks for sharing. I know that some people do well and swear by the 8-1-1. I also know that some people experience what was written in the links. I think it once again just proves that one raw diet does not fit all ra…

• Yes, raw cocao does have caffeine, just as any chocolate does. Some raw foodists don’t agree with eating cocao, as it is not truly raw due to the processing, etc., and because of the caffeine. However, I have found it helpful in transitioning to raw…

• Matt Amsden has a recipe in his rawvolultion book that calls for daikon juice to make a raw non-chicken broth/soup. Other than that, the only other things I have seen daikon used for are in salads, or use a spirooli to make spiral “noodles” for raw …

• Welcome Jen! What an inspirational story. Congrats on being clean and sober! I was drawn to this forum as well for the loving, supportive enviro. It is unlike many other raw sites that I have visited. Kandace and Ray have really put together a wonde…

  in Raw feels good! Comment by spiritedmama
• I echo what others have said already. I have followed the eat whatever you want as long as it is raw, and after my major detox last week, I have only wanted to eat fruits & greens, and in MUCH smaller quantities than I was eating prior. My body …

• I have never made a raw pie, but all the recipes I have read for them say to keep it in the freezer and take it out 30 min.-60 min. before serving to bring it to room temperature.

• Well said Chris. I think I have said something like this in the past on another string, but may not have articulated it as well. I have just weighed myself because I had to buy a new size of pants, and I was curious. I am now down another 10 pounds.…

• You are too funny Chris! I never had a single bad thought about you during the whole process. I just kept reminding myself that I would be so much better off after the migraine, etc. was over. Joesc, now those are some MAJOR detox symptoms. You are …

• Thank you all so much for the reassurances. It’s funny, even my usual cravings have disappeared. I even watched my husband and son eat french fries today and I didn’t even want one! I feel like I have been liberated! It was horrendous pain, and I wo…

• Forgot to mention that the coffee was my last vice…I have been 100% raw now since Saturday.

• Hi yydallas. My first impression after reading about your cravings is that maybe you should incorporate some green smoothies into your diet to help eliminate or at least lesson your cravings. Maybe Kale with banana and some dates? There are many gre…

• I guess if you are looking at it from the standpoint of just sprinkling a little into your food, like you would any other spice, then it is no different. I choose not to eat nutritional yeast because it provokes an MSG reaction in me, and I try and …

  in Spices: raw or not? Comment by spiritedmama
• This is a controversial issue, or at least has been on this site in the past. I personally am not THAT picky when it comes to spices. I grow my own herbs in my garden, but the spices and herbs I can’t grow, I get from the store. I try to buy organic…

• Thanks for the info. Socal, I have been looking at the websites and it was hard to determine if it was really raw. I wanted some feedback from someone who had used it.

• Any takers on this? I need to get some new oil, and the only cold pressed, raw oil I can find in town is the Udo.

• I have struggled with this since I have been raw. I ended up having a conversation with my husband and explained to him how important it was for me to be raw, and that I feel better when I eat raw. Of course, he understands and supports me. But, wha…
