• blueyz – Thanks! Yes, I guess my body is fine with how much I’m eating. And I never tracked calories before eating raw, (other than a few years ago when I had and underactive thyroid & was reducing calories trying to lose weight), but growing up…

• Okay, so I have been drinking green juice this week & making sure I get tons of vitamins & minerals, and something has happened. I have figured something out! I usually get cravings for whatever food(s) my body needs nutrients from, so I’m u…

• Kevlar – stick figure, huh? :) My arms ARE really thin – but I can’t do 600 push-ups like Gabriel Cousens says he can do. :) sid23 – That’s interesting. I can’t imagine only fruit & one other meal. Interesting, though. I think Ann Wigmore ate ve…

• Have you tried Asian pears? They’re crunchy & not mushy, but Bartlett are my favorite for pear flavor. My favorite apple is Gala, second favorite is Golden Delicious.

• I like to make dips/pates/whatever you call them with sprouted buckwheat as a base – cheap, nutritious & filling! Then I put the dip with zucchini slices, or wrap it in cabbage leaves & add other chopped veggies. I used to make seed/nut-base…

• Zoe – Not true. I was deficient in protein a few months ago. It was at the same time as a severe illness (so it may have been caused by that?), but still, people need to know that it CAN happen. I started soaking my nuts & seeds after that to ai…

• Yay, pants dance! I eat more calories & weigh less than before raw, too. But I wish some days that I didn’t need that much – it would be cheaper, lol!

• I LOVE carrot tops! I hardly ever eat the carrots; I just give them to my mom or my rabbit & I use the tops. :) When I thin the little carrots from my garden, I use the tops chopped up in salads, and when they’re bigger, I think they work better…

• Hi – love your intro! It made me laugh (please don’t be offended!) the way you described things. I hope this site helps you a lot – if it helps you even half as much as it helps me, you’re in a good place!

• greenghost – thanks! Yeah, soymilk is my son’s main source of calcium, but I hadn’t thought of juicing for calcium. That’s a really great idea for me, even if it doesn’t work for the class – a bunch of cucumbers just came from the garden, so I’ll ju…

  in Sesame seeds - how to use? Comment by angie207
• Thanks for the info., greenghost! I have never seen them at the Asian market, but I think I’ll use the brown ones for now. I live in Utah. Anyone have ideas for using, say, a cup or two of sesame seeds in something? I looked it up, and daily calcium…

  in Sesame seeds - how to use? Comment by angie207
• Thanks for the ideas, everyone! Okay, so where do I get BLACK sesame seeds? Are they higher in calcium than the brown ones? greenghost – Putting them in bread/crackers is a good idea. Do you soak them first?

• I didn’t know there was a “date-liking” club! heehee Eat what appeals to you – there may be some reason your body does not want dates right now (or maybe it never will?) – I used to eat spinach, but about a year ago, I got nauseated eating it, and i…

• Now that I read jellibi’s post, I agree – I don’t have to defend myself or my way of life to anyone. :) Thanks for the insight, jellibi :)

• greenghost – thanks for sharing your story! Funny how you describe things. Although, I think cardboard might be slightly more nutritious than iceberg lettuce. :D

• Ooh, I’m sorry! I never cease to be amazed at the things people do out of “concern” or “love” & yet refuse to be educated about it. I think if someone really cares, maybe they should listen/read about what it is you’re really doing. I have never…

• I use Internet Explorer, and I see no way to “watch topic” any more. Also, every time I come here, I have to log in again. The topics I was watching now come as a list of the topic titles, and I don’t see the most recent replies to that post. I like…

• In Rhio's book, "Hooked on Raw", she talks about teeth problems being related to detoxing too fast - toxins are dumped into the mouth & that's what breaks the teeth down - it makes the mouth too acidic, if I remember right. Maybe that's part of …

• Lately I’ve been loving eating whatever I get fresh from the garden – handfuls of raspberries (those don’t make it into the house!), fresh peas, bowlfuls of yellow pear tomatoes – yum! I love your food meditating idea! I do garden meditating – enjoy…

• humanimal - just curious: have your teeth improved any since they became transparent, or is it a permanent thing?

  in too many bananas? Comment by angie207
• Bananas are WAY healthier than candy, even if they aren’t quite what they used to be. :D

  in too many bananas? Comment by angie207
• I eat what appeals to me – some days I may eat 5 bananas or more, and other times not eat any for several days or weeks. Hybridized, schmybridized! :P I am not saying hybridized is optimal, but bananas & pineapples are much healthier than a lot …

• KAIT – I’ve been high raw (with the non-raw stuff usually being nuts & other “not really raw but accepted in lots of raw recipes” kind of foods) for a little over 3 years.
