• i wouldn’t do any kind of major cleanse right now, especially juice feasting. i do think you should drink juice, but you should probably be trying to consume at least 2500 calories per day, which is very hard to do juice feasting. you’re reacting ba…

• i use miso in mu sushi recipe… it’s a little more gourmet than my daily meals, but it’s fun, and really not that hard to make. check it out on my profile page. i consider unpasteurized miso a raw food because it has living cultures. it is therefore …

• do you like salad? i would try to just eat a huge salad with your meals, before you eat anything else. then, if you want a slice of pizza, have it, and don’t eat yourself up. it’s about persistence, not perfection. the dried fruit anad nuts tend to …

• the fat content in nut milk is not that high, like maybe 3 grams per serving, but if you prefer, some people make milk with banana or buckwheat. i like almond or hemp milk, myself.
