• Mangoes! or young coconuts! or CA CAAAAAA pudding (avocado, young coconut meat, CA CAAAAA powder, maca, & sweetener of choice)! or a huge Spring Mix salad! or fresh peas right out of the garden! I haven’t seen the dance yet, but I’m curious now!…

• I experienced the same thing last year – now I know better! Even “healthy” cooked foods are not like raw when it comes to my health & energy. Thanks for the reminder :)

• It gets sour because it doesn’t dehydrate fast enough. I have resorted to breadsticks – no bigger than 1/2 inch diameter – and it doesn’t have to dehydrate very long (30 minutes to 1 hour at most). I eat it within a day or two (keep in fridge until …

• The investment is a great thing that people generally don’t understand unless they have experienced the difference – for me it took going beck to “healthy” cooked food for a while (like you, to save money) before I realized that I felt so much worse…

• Zoe’s right – I lost weight quickly when I had worked through the emotional/psychological factors that were making me think I needed to be fat. That was also what made me decide to eat what my body really wanted.

  in When's all this weight loss I read about supposed to start? Comment by angie207
• While eating nuts & oil all day would probably cause weight gain, things like avocados and macadamia nuts have fatty acids that cause the body to lose/burn fat, so they’re not always “fattening” even though they contain a lot of fat. A week isn’…

• I agree with MOTH – eat greens! I am a college student & a mom, and last year I got stressed & started eating cooked food again. BIG mistake! Even though I was eating pretty healthy cooked foods, it really took a toll on my body. Now, I have…

  in Hi! Comment by angie207
• Greens in any form seem to help get rid of cravings, because they have so many nutrients – how about huge salads with blended tomatoes (add a tiny anount of oil & salt if you want) for a dressing? I was only able to quit eating meat when I start…

• Make crackers & dressings at home – both do well for quite a long time. I second the seed cheese idea, and lots of fresh fruit! I recently went on a several-day road trip, and I made the crumble part of bitt’s “cherry cacao cobbler” and then dip…

• Flax seeds are very anti-inflammatory, and sometimes if you are not getting ENOUGH fat in your diet, the body will think it’s starving and store & hold onto what you do have.

• Welcome :) Be careful & gentle with yourself through detox/withdrawal. Do you have a source of support &/or professional counseling to help you with this?

  in New girl here Comment by angie207
• Great for you! :) Enjoy it. I live with my parents again now, and I always put all kinds of stuff on the stove (using it as extra counter space) like I did in my apartment, and then my mom comes along and tells me that the stovetop is a bad place to…

• I love the truly raw cashews I buy from www.sunfood.com :) I could never tolerate cashews (raw or not) until after I had been raw a while. Same with a lot of other things – bananas, oranges, tomatoes, etc.

  in Frustrated- Difficult Menstrution Comment by angie207
• The “estrogenic foods” I have read about have phytoestrogens that act like estrogen & bind to estrogen receptor sites in the body. These are weaker than the natural estrogen and bind to the estrogen receptor sites, so there is a weaker estrogeni…

• A lot of herbs do a lot of good. You have to decide what feels right to you, but for me, a lot of times the herbs are doing me a whole lot more good than the possible negative effects I would get from the heating or small amounts of alcohol. Raw cac…

• heehee “blew my raw little mind” – I know how that feels! I was at a family event once & was telling my sis in law something about making stuff with raw cacao, and she asked “Why would you eat it?” I just stood and stared for a minute. I finally…

• Hey, ardes! chicory – haha! No, just apples – and maybe some garden veggies; there’s a lot to carry some days. :)

• Maybe I’ll have to buy some of those shirts ;) I found a little farmers market near my house! I thought I’d have to wait till Saturday to go to the one 30 minutes away. :)

• Sweet! I just bought some corn at a farmers market – good timing. :) I make raw corn tortillas: fresh corn & seasonings blended in the food processor, then add a little flax to help it stick together. Spread out on teflex or parchment paper &…

• From what I understand, Codex is also going to make growing your own food impossible/illegal, unless you get a license and comply with their rules. Store food! If you start now to build up a supply of raw seeds, raw oils, raw dried fruits & vegg…

• TOTALLY worth it! It does amazing puddings, thick sauces, etc. too – even nut butters. And if you catch the timing right, you can get one cheaper at Costco – they come & do demos & sell them for ten days at a time, a few times a year.

• In the nut business, the label “raw” just means “not roasted”

  in too much sugar? Comment by angie207
• I don’t know if it has to do with sugar, but if you don’t feel good eating it, don’t eat it. :)

• I did, but I had weight to lose, and I was eating whatever my body wanted, so sometimes I ate nuts & sometimes not. My body balances out as I give it what it needs. Maybe I just can’t see your pic well enough, but you don’t look like you need to…
