• How exciting! Congratulations…are you going to try and do a raw pregnancy? If so, I recommend getting JinJi’s e-book from gardendiet.com about raw pregnancy. It will be a great resource.

• Wouldn’t breaking it down by blending or juicing help with the digestion? I LOVE Kale juice and when I add Kale to a smoothie, I pulverize it in the blender with water before I add the rest of the ingredients. I have never had a problem and still fe…

• I was just talking to my husband about whether raw coffee was even possible, so I would love to hear about Juliano’s experiences too!

• What a great idea Zoe! I like Storm, too….but would actually LOVE to, as you said, grill David Wolfe about his cocao…let’s get to the bottom of this!

• I personally do not food combine. I consider myself still relatively new to raw food (just under a year), and for me my focus is just staying raw. If I had to worry about food combining on top of that I know I would end up going back to cooked food.

• Yeah! I am so glad you are taking a 100 day challenge. I am sure that once you get through the detox, you will need no more convincing that raw is the way to go!

• I know some people get them at asian markets, so if you have any of those, you might want to try there.

• Zoe, I love raw sugar cane, it is just hard to find where I live. I’ll keep my eye out for it though!

  in gum Comment by spiritedmama
• I wish I did, I still like to chew gum every once in a while. When I really want gum, and the “craving” doesn’t go away, I choose pelu gum because it is natural and doesn’t have the chemicals that regular gum has.

• Welcome and kudos for choosing a raw lifestyle! Chris and Zoe’s website, purelyraw.com has a dead food list that is very helpful in determining what is really raw. I still have a few things to use up at my house before I can be 100%, stuff I thought…

• I LOVE being active! I either run, or use my eliptical (depending on weather) for 1 hour every day and do light toning during the week. On weekends, my family usually gets at least one hike in. My body feels so alive! Also, I get grumpy if I miss my…

• I make veggie chips in my dehydrator at 105 degrees. The amount of time varies depending on the type of veggie. I just feel for crunchiness. Oh, and I take them off the teflex sheet and flip them half way through. It usually takes about a day.

• That is really cool! I know it’s not as exact as some of the fancy O2 equipment they are promoting at many gyms, but it is good for rough estimates. Thanks for sharing!
