  • Try the Raw Divas 7 day detox, its free and honestly, I was able to stick to 100% after that!
  • It WAS less expensive when i stuck to regular produce. Now when I see a conventionally grown pepper all I can think about is how nutrient-void it is, how much pesticides it must contain, and what the heck they covered it with (bees-wax? veggie based…

  • I think its perfectly OK to eat minimal fruit if that is what your body is telling you to do. Just remember to eat lots of greens :o)
  • To clarify, I think 801010 diet has a lot of merit. People need to really consider it before turning it down simply because they can’t eat the enormous volumes of food it entails. Especially since the the measurement of “calories” is so irrelevant t…

  • Ok, I just wanted to add my two cents about calories. It really nerves me to hear people say they need x amount of calories a day, and the reason for that is that calories are a measure of heat (energy) Yes, scientist grab a food, set it on fire, an…

  • Madness – you are doing the right thing by at least giving raw veganism a try. I hope you find the support you need on these boards, even though we are mostly vegan, we are all on a journey towards health :o) As for my greatest challenge, grrr, it h…
  • RawJim - So we agree to disagree (especially about the farmer ;) Its controversial topics like these that we really need to have respect for each other’s points of views. I really bugs me when “raw gurus” get up and make absolute claims about super…
  • Hm… gaverswins, that is really interesting that you can eat pure cacao. It seems to me like cacao is pretty inedible unless mixed with sweeteners etc. Which is a BIG sign that we should not consume it. However, I eat it anyways :o) and I’ve never ex…
  • Hey Sonne, I’ll be in Germany by early ‘08! I used to live in Heidelberg, now I am in the states – it really sucks here – so I’m going back, maybe to munchen this time though. What city are you currently living in?

  • Cilantro with almond milk and sweetener?! Hmmm.. that’s something I’ve got to try! Cilantro is mm mm good! When I was young I’d play on hill tops, and eat culantro (cousin of cilantro..used in south america) right off the ground…. I wonder if you c…

  • green juices are REALLY delicious and satisfy my cravings for nuts and seeds. Alot of people say green smoothies also help with cravings.

  • Have you checked the recipes on this site?? I usually make crackers out of pulp (delicious!) by adding ground flax seeds until sticky.. then just put some of the mixture on a teflex sheet and spread thinly (if you want crackers) or a wee bit thicker…
  • What’s your diet like?? When it comes to acne, you’re going to get a million different suggestions, and its not easy! What I’ve been doing is drinking green juices (kale, cucumber, carrot, apple, etc) and its been helping alot. I’m also doing 1-2 sa…

  • Sky princes – I don’t have Ani Phyo’s book, but from the videos she has on her site (aniphyo.com_, it looks like her book would be a good buy. She has a simple and easy style with little dehydrating. Also, read the reviews on Amazon. The raw books I…

  • Tampa FL WOW, so many from VA and Cali!
  • I would suggest you get yours used, especially when buying the more expensive appliances like dehydrator, juicer, blender (if you go for a high quality one). I have an excalibur, and it works perfectly. Very easy to clean = low maintenance. As for t…
  • You’ve already gotten alot of good advice, but I just wanted to add that you should really work on your attitude towards raw foods. It’s the most important thing when going raw! If you think of all the things you used to eat and love, you’re closing…
  • I’m in college and I know EXACTLY how you feel! First of all, if you haven’t said goodbye to superfoods, then do so NOW. They are very expensive, as are nuts. Some cheap nuts and seeds include flax and sunflower seeds. I also buy cashews 1x a month …
  • This may sound really really strange, but when I went no poo my hair stopped falling out excessively and it actually started growing back again! I’d suggest you take a look at what you’re putting on your hair. I also second Zoe on using msm directly…
  • Thanks alot for the replies, I kind of knew that I can’t really make her be healthy if its not what she really wants… but I’m just so stubborn. I think I forgot to mention the huge age difference between us, she’s old enough to be my mother (44) and…
  • This topic went from acne—> candida. But I found something really interesting: http://www.pureliquidgold.com/candida-diet.htm I’d never really thought about it, but I had this whitish spot on my tongue for the longest time that doesn’t brush off …
  • Thanks for the link raw chocoholic! Lots of good info, but I didn’t see where I could find the herbs for the cleanse. Grr… Julie – yeah, I did the candida spit test, I noticed icky stuff within 15 minutes. I still haven’t figured out how to want to …
  • lol we’re candida buddies! Well, I haven’t actually done the spit test yet, but I’ll try it when I get home. Not eating fruit is going to be HARD, but I’m going to have to do something. I’ve also heard liver cleanses help remove toxins and therefore…
  • Hey julie, to answer your question honestly, no. My acne is just as bad as its been for the past couple of months, and it itches, so I scratch, and I get scars (ugh!) so the lemon and tomato juice are more for the scars than for the acne itself. Aft…
  • I’ve been having hooooorrible breakouts for the past couple of months and I can’t figure out WHATS causing it. (Went 100% raw only a month ago). But here are some things that I have been doing: - apply tomato or lemon juice on my face (they have AHA…
  • yeah its safe to consume wheatgrass. I read it in RAWSOME.. (can never remember author)

  • YEA! I went there on thursday for my anniversary and it was awsome!! I also had the tuxedo pie ;) Sabrina’s favorite sammich was also very good. Ahhh, I don’t think I can stop raving about that place. And you’re right NOT MUCH TO DO HERE. I wish Tam…
  • I’ve heard of people mixing wheatgrass juice with their smoothies. BUT I’ve also heard that wheatgrass is best taken on an empty stomach. I had wheatgrass for the first time this past week at a restaurant… and it was sweet. I don’t know it its natur…
  • Yeah, they’re ok to eat! Victoria Boutenko mentions them in her Green For Life book. I’ve also had carrot tops and they’re REALLY good! Fibrous, tangy, slightly carroty… very good with a lemon dressing.. YUM!

  • bananas! They’re filling, and high enough in calories that they’ll keep him going for a while. He can also have trail mix if he wants something heavy. And of course, lots of water :) You’re lucky that your husband is also raw. I wish I could get my …
