• Thanks for the tips! I can get all of those things at the local grocery store :) What combinations do you use (like how much of what) and for what areas (toilet, windows, dishes, laundry etc)? Do I have to whip up a batch every time I am cleaning or…

• Amen sistah! The radiating at a higher frequency thing you said… maybe that explains the feeling lighter? Of all the changes within me in this raw journey those have been the most surprising… the good vibes. I felt so secure and happy last week… mor…

• Mmmmm … drool… ahhh… barbeque sandwich… hihi just kidding :) Thanks guys. Yes Kelly! green smoothies!! Those do help with cravings, don’t they!? Why didn’t I think of that! Thanks! I am going to up my green intake and see if that helps. I did a 3 da…

• Thanks, guys. I really appreciate your feedback and support. :) I am kind of doing a month experiment of trying 100% raw. I beat myself up a little because I am having lots of cravings and hoping that if I just detox through them without giving in t…

• Check it out!!! I came up with a substitute for the popcorn!! I just added the “recipe” .... pumpkin seeds with coconut oil and sea salt! Genius! (If I don’t say so myself) ;)

• Ya, I guess you are right. Thanks Phillip :) I do have a tendency to be a little intense about things… but I guess compared with what the vast majority of people on this planet are eating a little popped popcorn isn’t going to kill me! It is kind of…

• Thanks Kelly :) Every now and then I find myself in a quandary about raw foods. Like before I went raw I was more or less vegan and high raw. But I would eat really healthy during the week and then eat things like pizza etc. junk food on the weekend…

• Thanks for the tip! I am always looking for a good book to read :)

• Oh, absolutely! Greens take care of cravings! And I think you will warm to them after awhile. It is kind of like people addicted to chocolate (the bad kind with sugar and milk) put them on fruit for awhile and that will kick it. Same deal here. Get …

• Thank you for the suggestion kathrynintheraw! I am going to try that one… but need to buy some mushrooms… anyway disaster averted. I made a salad. I didn’t have any greens today maybe that explains the off the wall craving… so I feel much better. I …

• Hey Marysia, I think we are in a similar place in the raw food lifestyle. I am trying out a month, too (I read your profile) I am on day 8. Aside from the support of my fiance I am alone where I live and in my family. So I am kind of immersing mysel…

• I have it and love it. Get it. I have watched it several times for inspiration on my raw journey. :)

• I don’t know, but thanks for posting because I am curious about the same thing. I have spent the last 4-5 days more or less green smoothie fasting and I haven’t been constipated per say but I have had a very small amount of movement when I have one.…

• I second that greenie. Blendtec home blender is fantastic. You can ground grain in the same container… you don’t have to buy 2. It is more powerful and quieter. And it is quite light and not so tall. I have never had the vita-mix but I am very pleas…

• 123 – I noticed you said you were on a plateau with the raw thing and it reminded me of Victoria Boutenko’s book “Green for life”. You’ve probably already read it…. but if not check it out she found greens to be her answer when she plateaued. But I …

• I suspect it is different for everybody. For me I had a ton of energy in the beginning. I think my body was in its optimal state preparing itself for the detox…. so the last day of my fast I didn’t have as much energy. But overall… tons of energy! I…

  in Green smoothie fast? Comment by northernlights
• Thanks for the congrats :) That fast was really a turning point for me. I am raw now and really loving it. I don’t think I would have succeeded on going raw without that fast experience. It took care of cravings etc. for me and I learned that I don’…

• Alright, my 3-day fast is officially completed :) It was fun and I learned a lot about raw and myself. I didn’t have as much energy yesterday evening… and was detoxing a little more probably… so it would probably be good to be on it a while longer… …
