  • Just thought I’d report: For breakfast I ate several banana-nut pancakes smeared with cashew/coconut “kream” and drowned in strawberry syrup. (The kream & syrup were from Ani Phyo’s “strawbery parfait” recipe, found on her website. It was about …
  • nycgrrl – It sounds like you’re on the right track in listening to your body – I’m sure you’ll figure out what is best – for me, what is best seems to change from time to time, & it’s kinda fun :)
  • el-bo – I said no big deal cuz I’m not worried about you judging me :) Weight?! Who ever said this was about weight? The weight stabilization is just a nice bonus as this is really all about my healed thyroid, my drastically reduced insulin needs, m…
  • Nope! No weight problems, as long as I follow my body I don’t get under or overweight, and I’ve had problems with both in the past – I had a friend come over when I was eating one day, and he was telling me to “slow down, girl!” when he saw how much…
  • I re-read your description of “high fat” & had to laugh! In one day, I usually eat more like 1 to 2 cups of nuts, 2 avocados, 1/2 cup oil… :)
  • Dr Gabriel Cousens has a plan of eating NO fruit for the first 3 months or more, Dr. Graham’s plan is a TON of fruit, etc. Both have helped A LOT of people heal & find optimum health – as have many others. Dr. Cousens talks about different ayurv…
  • I believe everything is created spiritually before it is created physically – for me, a lot of times I have to work on clearing the emotions/thought patterns that created the illness, before the physical treatments will be very effective. Sometimes …
  • bitt – I think sweetpea means because a lot of people don’t chew food well enough to get all we can from it, so smoothies make more of the nutrition available to our bodies than if we just ate the fruit & greens whole.
  • kindaraw – I buy lots of fruit in the summer & freeze it for use in the winter, or I make fruit leather, and I don’t buy local in the winter cuz it’s Utah – except there is one Utah company that grows microgreens, sunflower greens & pea gree…
  • Yeah, sorry to all the Europeans – My mom was complaining about gasoline being $4 a gallon here last weekend, and I told her there are places in Europe where it was $4 a liter (or more) a few years ago – can’t imagine how much it is now! I really fe…
  • And yes, diesel fuel is close to $5.00 per gallon here now – I believe that is at least double the price it was last year. It’s not just the price of delivery, either – Most farmerss rely on gas or diesel-powered equipment/machines to do a lot of th…
  • I don’t know if my health food store stocks a lot of local produce, or if they’re just trying desperately to keep customers coming, but they have kept their prices on organic produce fairly low, while the grocery store’s non-organic produce keeps ge…
  • pianissima – That’s a tricky one for me, too – the no more “transition” foods. I sometimes know I probably shouldn’t eat a certain food amy more, and sometimes I don’t know how something will affect me when I haven’t eaten it for a long time, so I t…
  • Majomi – I like the idea of reporting on what we read – especially I like the “my body responds well to…” That is exactly what I am looking for here. Thanks! I read part of Natalia Rose’s raw food detox diet book (I don’t remember the title exactly)…
  • If you were retaining water because of what you ate “off the wagon” it would be normal to pee a lot as your body readjusts. Of course, I’m not a doctor & don’t know your whole situation, so that’s just one idea. Definitely our bodies adjust, but…
    in Pee... Comment by angie207
  • It IS from stress, usually – it’s because a stressed person uses/needs a LOT more B vitamins than when not stressed, so being stressed makes a person deficient in the B vitamins very quickly. Load up! I found a good quality B-complex (mixture of sev…
  • You’re welcome! :)
  • My post will be long, too! :) Hair thinning/falling out is usually a deficiency of vitamins & minerals & has nothing to do with protein. One of the main vitamins is B5 which is found in beef, so maybe that’s why people think protein? Anyway,…
  • My son is picky, though he’s not a teenager yet. Here’s what I find: Don’t use kale! :) heehee It has a very strong flavor. Spinach has a flavor that hides more easily, if you want a green smoothie, & blueberries will help hide the green color, …
  • Everything you do for your health is important & definitely makes a difference! So, don’t think you’re defeating the whole purpose if this one cooked thing keeps you able to stick to a more healthy way of eating than you would otherwise be able …
    in Regarding oats Comment by angie207
  • I believe that these types of things happen more and more as we are going in a direction that is best/right/important for us in our lives, so maybe raw food is one of those things that is important to a lot of us, or that is important for us to shar…

  • I follow my body, not what someone says, including Dr. Graham (although I learn something from each author, guru, doctor, etc.) – I guess I missed the part where everyone has to eat honey, seaweed & cacao to have energy :) Sometimes I eat a lot …
  • bitt – Do sunflower seeds bind, then? And CheeChee, you answered your own question – it holds things together well. :)
    in Hemp vs Flax Comment by angie207
  • I wish I had the money to start & run a huge organic farm – or 12! Any donors?
  • Yes, it will sprout – that’s what I use to make raw bread & muffins – it just won’t grow into grass.
  • Whidbey Island & the whole Seattle area! It’s fun & scenic, & I have family there :) I haven’t been there since being raw, though, so I don’t know where I’ll shop?
  • Wow, pianissima – I love that paraphrase! amberablue – I have had a high metabolism most of my life, but it slowed way down a few years ago. Since eating raw, it is back up, & I think it’s because my thyroid is now healed so my metabolism is wor…
  • Gabriel Cousens wrote in one of his books that you should only soak buckwheat for 15 minutes, or else it will ferment. I used to soak them for 6 hours, too, but the sliminess always bothered me, so I was stirring it up and rinsing it a lot when I fi…
  • Dates! (for calories, if you need them) Also, have you tried eating fruit by itself? It digests pretty quickly when eaten on its own; even when I eat a lot of fruit, I usually feel ready to eat again within an hour. Maybe that would help with your f…
