• Okay, I was thinking about it, and the mornings I’m not hungry for a couple of hours are the ones when I ate a lot at bedtime the night before. Otherwise, I am STARVING (i.e. truly hungry) in the morning. I guess I just eat a lot, and pretty often m…

• Interesting about quantum eating! I am almost never hungry until after I’ve been up for a few hours, and it seems once I start eating, I eat pretty often, although I don’t stop as early in the afternoon. Just says again, listen to your body!

• Caleb – Avocados sound good! I like to chop them up with tomatoes & sprouts, with a little salad dressing drizzled on top. Also of course guacamole, and raw chocolate pudding! Good luck. :) For anyone who has a Costco nearby, it’s a good place t…

• lulushka8 – You’re right – I guess I eat “more than a lot of nuts” a lot of days. :) Half a raw chocolate pie/cheesecake (2 1/4 cups of nuts) has at least a whole day’s supply of zinc, and I have sometimes eaten that as a meal. A batch of banana/bra…

• lulushka8 – Interesting; nuts are a good source of zinc, too! I know there is at least one B vitamin related to appetite, too, but I can’t find my book. I’ll update if/when I find it.

• Sorry if I seemed to be off topic – I was trying to make the point that a lack of nutrients causes problems in the body long before they’re seen. I was sick for several months, but even I had no idea how bad things were getting from not getting the …

• TheRawDance – Thanks! I was hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis, which meant that my body wasn’t getting what it needed – even though I was putting the food into my body, there wasn’t enough insulin to get the energy & nutrients where they we…

• This is amazing! I agree with TheRawDance – starvation/malnutrition problems don’t always show right away, but they’re still doing damage. I don’t worry about fat, and I don’t normally count calories, either. A few months ago I counted calories for …

• I like Sunfood (David Wolfe’s brand) – www.sunfood.com – it’s the only one I use now, and I just ordered the 2.5 pound bag because it’s a better deal than buying the smaller amounts. Navitas Naturals seems cheaper, but isn’t because it’s not nearly …

• That is HILARIOUS! Something in my kitchen IS always underwater ;) The breatharian thing was too funny – thanks for sharing this :)

• poemomm – Awesome that you’re taking requests! I’ve never tried “real” gnocchi, so whatever you come up with I’ll probably like as long as it’s not nasty. ;) Anything using raw pumpkin would be great! I made a pumpkin cheesecake-type thingy once. I …

• Kendra – Coconut butter is sometimes used to mean coconut oil (called butter because it is solid at room temperature) and other people use the term coconut butter to refer to ground-up coconut (this is also called coconut cream or coconut spread). C…

• My favorite olive oil: www.barianioliveoil.com – cold pressed AND unfiltered, and super yummy! When I ordered recently, the online ordering didn’t work, but I emailed them about it & just ordered via email. They also sell through stores, but thi…

• David Wolfe is now advertising “truly raw, unfermented” cacao nibs or beans – I don’t remember which, or both. www.sunfood.com

  in cafeine cacao Comment by angie207
• The main stimulant in cacao is theobromine, with only small amounts of caffeine. I find that, for me, the effect is NOTHING like heated cocoa/chocolate products, even when all other ingredients are the same, and I get a lot of medicinal/therapeutic …

• I forgot to mention cabbage. I eat purple cabbage sometimes when I’m craving something starchy/dense – it’s sounding good with sandwich-type fillings now. Thanks, bronwyn! :)

• You can make Zoe’s cheese without the pine nuts – still very good, & much cheaper! I sometimes put in the olive oil, but often I leave that out, too, & just use the sunflower seeds, lemons, green onions & salt. I was also going to say sp…

• It is still really good without the pine nuts. Cheap is good. ;)

  in Zoe's Spring Onion Cheese Comment by angie207
• Yeah, it can seem expensive – I started with maybe one or two spices, one or two kinds of nuts, never used coconut oil, etc. Now I have lots, because I buy in bulk & stock up when things are on sale. But it has taken a while (more than three yea…

• Annabelle77 – I order lots of stuff in bulk from www.azurestandard.com – you have to call & they set up an account & send you a catalog… As for the seed cheese, I usually make it without the pine nuts, & it’s still really good. I also so…

• tjab – I’m the same way with non-raw chocolate. I can’t afford to buy much premade raw stuff, so I usually make my own. I only use the sunfood brand of raw cacao – www.sunfood.com – as some others don’t treat me much better than the “regular” (not r…

• tjab – That’s awesome! I’m interested to hear what you served the cheese with, too! For a regular potluck, I once made a raw “7-layer dip” – and then put out a plate of cucumber slices (I didn’t tell people to eat the two things together) and a bag …
