  in Hello to everyone. Comment by northernlights
• Great topic. I basically try to hide it. But, it is starting to leak out and people have actually been more curious than anything. So I talk about it with excitement when people ask me about it and that seems to work. For me I think it is a challeng…

• For sure, birth control pills can be great for some people. And I really was good with taking it all those years. It is a very effective method and many people take it to improve how they feel… every method will have some compromise. I didn’t have t…

  in Birth Control? Comment by northernlights
• Hmmm… probably. It is probably not the best solution for women with really variable cycles. However, if it doesn’t have enough information than you get a yellow light. So with variable cycles I would expect several days with yellow lights…. but, I d…

  in Birth Control? Comment by northernlights
• Well, I am not positive, because I don’t have it yet (in the mail on the way!) but based on what I have read about it yes, it checks only basal body temperature. You take your temperature upon rising (it has a built in thermometer) and it does all t…

• That cleanse sounds interesting. I want to try it. Do you have to use castor oil or would other oils work? Thanks!

• Alissa Cohen has a great technique on her dvd. She uses the corner of a big chopping knife…. and hacks a circle around the top…. it is kind of hard to explain but really easy once you see it done and try it.

• I take inspiration from my grandmother who pretty much lived off the land. They had a garden and preserved everything come harvest. Of course, as raw foodists we wouldn’t want to can anything…. but good investments for raw foodists who want to save …

• Well, I am sad to say that my garbage can has eaten just about as much raw food as I have…. I might be exaggerating a little…. but I have made some really gross stuff. I wanted to make a carrot soup once… and made up a recipe.. I don’t remember what…

  in What to do with frozen romain Lettuce??? Comment by northernlights
• I actually have a really hard time getting good greens where I live. So when I do find things like fresh spinach I buy lots and then blend half of it down with a little water in the blender and freeze it in ice cube trays for my green smoothies. So …

• Thank you Carmentina for the thawing tip!! That made all the difference for my raw ice cream enjoyment!! I hadn’t made it since I broke my juicer…. but now it turned out great in my blender. Yum! I love raw ice cream!!!

  in Make Banana Ice Cream without a juicer? Comment by northernlights
• I think another success factor of a 3 day green smoothie fast is that the greens totally take care of cravings…. your body is getting what it needs on the greens… so I didn’t go around all day wishing I was eating pizza… I really felt great on the s…

  in Ice Cream Flavor? Comment by northernlights
• Thanks for replying, Elizabethh. Good tips with the easing into and out of it. Smoothie and juice fasts make sense to me. I understand and believe that they are beneficial. But, I guess what I am reacting to is these kidney stone, liver stone etc cl…

• And another thing… carbonated water? Is this bad for us? Since going raw I haven’t had any or wanted any… but I was just thinking about it and wondering if it is good or bad to drink. Any ideas?
