  • I make my own! Check out my recipe!
    in Lara Bars! Comment by Quiora
  • RawKidChef-Mickmaster did not say we don’t need protein! And neither did anyone else! You’re taking it completely out of context! He only said that the need to combine foods to make “complete proteins” is a total myth that has been dis-proven. Maybe…
  • RawKid-Yes the cashews grew tails. I didn’t let the almonds go long enough to grow big tails since I read somewhere not to. But the end was swollen, and when I broke them open, there was a tail like thing going down the middle and just about coming …
  • The only downside is TJ’s raw cashews aren’t organic. :(
  • Yep, I let them soak for 3 hours with no intention of sprouting them, and they literally grew tails!
  • Trader Joe’s has organic raw Valencia almonds imported from Spain, and they sprouted for me. However, the non-organic California grown almonds from there do not sprout. Even TJ’s raw cashews sprout. :)
  • When I tried uploading pics, I figured out they were too big, so I had to resize them.
  • I know exactly where you’re coming from, and I’ve just decided it’s not worth it to be so hard on myself. I probably won’t ever be 100% raw, and that’s ok. I’m alright with eating raw when I can and when I want to (which is about 75% of the time) bu…

  • Yeah, I heard about it on here actually. I think its awesome!
  • Thanks jessica!! That is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to find some lower fat foods that are high in protein…
  • I don’t know of any specific sources to give you except my personal experience. I’ve had GERD since I was 11 due to bulimia. Being vegan pretty much cured it but I had occasional symptoms. (1-2 episodes per week as opposed to multiple times per day.…
  • MemberInGoodStanding-I have bought cashews and almonds from Trader Joe’s and they both sprouted for me.
  • Thanks RawDance! I will put them in my green smoothie in the morning along with kale, maybe spinach, and lots of sweet fruit. I kind of want to try it now, but I’m not hungry, hehe.
    in carrot tops Comment by Quiora
  • I liked dates for the first couple days of trying raw (still not 100%), but then I got sick and threw up and the last thing I had eaten was my homemade version of a lara bar. Since it was so heavy in dates, I haven’t been able to eat them since. I h…
  • I am so sorry you had to deal with this, Moth. :( I have never had someone ridicule me that badly, but I am also not 100% raw. Sometimes I just want to scream at people for little things ridiculing my diet. Yesterday at work, I was eating 2 huge app…
  • Hey sid! I am in Seattle too! Where is this co-op you speak of? ;)
  • Oh, and you mentioned Trader Joe’s. I work there (the one in the u-district) and accidently discovered that the cashews are genuinely raw. They sprout at least, so I think they must be. The organic valencia almonds there are also raw (and sprout), b…
  • I live in Seattle and I heard there is a raw store/small restaurant opening on Roosevelt in the U-district. It is called generation thrive or something like that. I’m really excited for it to open! BTW-I also love Chaco Canyon! I was actually offere…
  • Hi Johnny, I was so glad to see you posted this! I think simple raw is going to work best for me right now too. Tonight I pretty much had a breakdown. I cried for two hours about nothing, or so I thought. Then I realized it was because I was feeling…

  • That’s really good to know melaverde! I like to eat them while still greenish…so that could be my problem! Maybe I will try to let them ripen more and put them in smoothies. (They are just too sweet and mushy for me to eat like that)
    in too many bananas? Comment by Quiora
  • I was having some “fiber” issues and someone suggested to me that bananas may cause constipation. I stopped eating bananas the last few days and no more constipation. I will probably eat a few a week, but not 2 or 3 daily like I was doing.
    in too many bananas? Comment by Quiora
  • I am really in need of support too!! This is really hard!! I’m nearing the end of day three and I can’t fathom another week of this. How do you do it?! I haven’t cheated and I won’t as long as I’m spending so much money on it. I want to do it proper…
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • Shutter Nutter-The book actually says to use “medium hot” water but you can drink it cold if preferred. I actually drink it cold because drinking warm lemonade seems too foreign for me.
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • Blue eyes and KathKath-You are saying the exact same thing, lol. There is nothing to argue about, and neither of you have an “Imposter Book”! 2 T. of juice, plus 2 T. of syrup equals 4 T…same thing as 1/4 of a cup…same thing as 2 oz. Now if you add …
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • I was wondering the same thing KAIT-good to know that I can because that’s how I prefer my lemonade!
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • ungrateful-Thanks for the info, but I really don’t think I could handle doing a water fast for more than 24 hours. I am hypoglycemic, and even when I’ve water fasted for 24 hours, it was really hard on me. I get shaky, dizzy, and have terrible heada…
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • KathyKath-I would love to start with you on the 6th! But it depends on if I can get the book by then. I am going downtown (I live in Seattle, so I have to take a bus downtown and hardly ever go) on the 2nd to see a show. I was going to look for the …
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • Thanks for all the advice everyone! I think I’m going to start with the Master Cleanse, but I will definitely bookmark this and possibly try some of the other cleanses suggested in the future. Right now though, I’m on hormonal birth control, but get…
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • Oh, and one more question, is the lemonade mixed with water at all or is it really just the three ingredients? It seems like it would be really strong! Also, can you drink plain water at all during the cleanse, or just the lemonade?
    in Master Cleanse? Comment by Quiora
  • I also don’t think the salt water will be a problem for me. I actually enjoy the taste of it! lol, I know I’m crazy. When I was a kid and my mom would give me salt water to gargle for a sore throat or cancar sore, she had to make sure I didn’t just …
