• They’re expensive, but www.sunfood.com sells raw olives, and they are YUMMY! Welcome! It sounds like you’re doing great so far! Carob chips are not raw.

• I read a raw food book, and the author said something like “When I lost 85 pounds in four months, I was eating more food than I have ever eaten in my life.” Victoria Boutenko said that in the beginning, she poured a half cup of oil on her salad, and…

• Aziah – What is ffv? fresh fruit & veggies? Ardesmond said he spends around $500 per week for two adults & one child – all raw, all organic. Sounds like you’re close on his heels, though! Do your kids like smoothies? The whole fruit seems to…

• Yeah, Ardesmond was the big winner! I guess I’d better clarify: I DO use oils (which I now can get cheaper in bulk) and I eat lots of certain kinds of nuts, but I don’t often (if ever) buy the nuts that are $10 or $15 per pound. I guess I also think…

• ikn & Khaas Ladki – Consider yourselves VERY fortunate! I eat a lot of raw foods – mine is more around $100 a week when I am NOT eating raw olives, expensive nuts, premade raw foods, etc. and not all my produce is organic! But the medical costs …

• www.therawchoice.com I buy their raw organic dried fruit cheaper than I could buy organic & dehydrate it myself. Maybe even cheaper than non-organic. Bananas ARE yummy & cheaper than other fruits!

• Dates are high-glycemic, too. I have had type 1 diabetes for seven years, and have been eating high raw for the last three. The first summer of this new way of eating, I ate a lot of raw honey. I once ate a half-gallon of creamy honey in three days …

  in Please boycott bee pollen! Comment by angie207
• I guess you could keep your own bees – my friend who is a beekeeper doesn’t have a comb to “harvest” the bee pollen, but a little of it gets left around on the wood frames in the hive. He also can get royal jelly, but he says it is very time/labor-i…

• I make a graham cracker-ish crust with a combo of raw almonds, cashews, & macadamia nuts with just a touch of agave & a pinch of salt. The pecan one sounds good, too, though. For future reference, agave substitutes for sugar by using about 2…

• All the nutrition facts I’ve seen say that cacao has theobromine, which acts LIKE caffeine, but they’re not the same, and yes, I feel much differently with raw cacao than with non-raw, although I feel the best with the Sunfood brand.

• Karuna – Thank you! On the Rainbow Green book, it is VERY restrictive – much more than a regular raw food diet. If it appeals to you, then go ahead; I just wanted to give you a heads up, cuz it can be really overwhelming and difficult, especially if…

• I’m still going to eat agave & MAYBE a few nuts that probably aren’t “truly raw” – but I’ll commit to 30 days with those being the only exceptions. No Manna bread, or meat, or raw cheese – I have been craving grass-fed beef and raw cheese off an…

• nycgrrl – Do you use raw cacao? I get mine from www.sunfood.com (actually, that is the brand, but I’m fortunate enough to be able to buy it at my local health food store) & it is the best medicine for PMS! I haven’t felt so good with some other …

• Lauren – To get what you need, my advice (because it works for me) is to offer your body as many different raw foods as you can – that way you get a good variety of nutrients and your body will be able to ask you for the foods it needs the most – if…
