  • Yes, chriscarlton – thanks for your posts :)
  • Oh, no worries; I just meant you could also comment on other topics in addition to 80/10/10 forums :) Enjoy your fast & the oranges – I’ve been eating a lot of oranges lately; yum!!!!!
  • Sad :( There are so many other forums to play on…
  • I enjoy conversations with you – you don’t have to leave the site just because people have different approaches & opinions… stay & play?
  • el-bo: There are other authors, nutritionists, scientists, etc. who also have helped/coached countless other people back to health. Dr. Gabriel Cousens has scientifically-based eating plans that are not the same thing as Dr. Doug Graham’s scientific…
  • My ultimate “comfort food” has to be fresh, ripe mangoes – Mmmmm! :)
  • achin70 – That’s a good idea. I have been thinking the last few days that it would be fun to have a raw potluck in my neighborhood, but I guess I don’t want one bad enough yet to organize it :) heehee As for the restaurant, budget limitations! But I…
  • JoyceH – Cool experience! Thanks for sharing! I agree that the attitude and “real” versus processed foods make a huge difference. I have a friend who ate a frosted sugar cookie at a church get-together after eating at least high raw for a long time,…
  • Oh, I don’t feel alone :) I have lacked energy & money to make some of the things I love, but I realized I do better when I have a big variety of fruit, salad ingredients, & dressings around, and at least one dessert or main dish that is fil…
  • Nothing, luna – good point I forgot to mention :) Being overwhelmed is one thing, but being excited about the best-tasting nutritious food you have ever eaten seems like a healthy happy thing – I love happy food!

  • Wow – tons of good advice! I felt a lot this way & couldn’t figure out how to simplify & stay 100% raw, and then I was hospitalized 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t make my own food, and my mom doesn’t know how to make anything I eat. My mom started …
  • rishi – thanks for the info. & the clarifications. I forgot to mention that Madhava also sells non-raw agave :) Around here, stores used to only sell the non-raw one, and even now, some of them still do, and a lot of people don’t know the differ…
  • rachel – I buy it by the gallon! I use it more right now than any other sweetener, although I have started using dates sometimes. :)
  • The agave nectar I get (Madhava brand) says on the label “specially produced at temps below 115 F” – The company says this is possible because of changing the air pressure so it doesn’t have to get heated up as much as most. I have type 1 diabetes, …
  • Wow! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas :) bitt – I need to try one with mint (maybe chocolate mint?) We’ll see – my neighbor has mint plants she wants to give me; woohoo!!!!!

  • I did a combo of your ideas: kale, banana, dates, strawberries, pineapple, hemp seeds – Yum! More ideas are welcome (& requested) PLEEEEEASE?!
    in Green Smoothies! Comment by angie207
  • Yum! Thanks, guys :) I love kale, & yes, we have a vita-mix. The one I made the other day was kale, banana, oranges & pineapple. I just stocked my fridge with greens & I have several fruits, too, but I keep eating all the fruit! :)

  • Zoe – I don’t have a clue what nettles look like or where to find them, but the peach one sounds YUMMMMMMY!!!! I love green juices, too, so no worries :)

  • I think 2 to 3 times per week. It’s not my favorite, either, but I loved having muscle for once – I’m thinking of getting a gym membership this fall so I can do it again on a regular basis.
  • I just remembered weightlifting! I was super-skinny (ie underweight) no matter how much I ate growing up, until I took a weightlifting & aerobics class in high school, and I put on about 35 pounds in a year! Hemp seeds are a complete protein sou…
  • I don’t know about books, but I have a super-high metabolism now, and for me, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, young coconuts, avocados, oils (sometimes) & fruits (bananas, mangoes, pineapple, etc.) are what make up a lot of my diet, and I …
  • I ate high-raw for a year and a half befroe getting a cheap dehydrator that I could only do SOME things in, and then another year before getting an Excalibur. I just ate stuff I could make without any equipment, or in a blender, or in a food process…
  • greengirl – thanks! I am planning to post a topic asking for favorite green smoothie recipes – You just gave me a head start! :)
  • el-bo: I know I keep contradicting you in your calorie thing, and it’s not to be offensive, really! versepie – I just have to interject here, that once I had made a conscious decision to take in exactly what my body wanted, I ate what appealed to me…
  • Wow, good! Thanks for the info, guys!
  • The raw cane sugar isn’t the same as “white sugar” that is super-refined, I thought – I’m also interested to know – I haven’t used the raw sugar because I have just felt that it’s not the best thing for me, but I’m curious as to why?
  • The only raw olives I have ever seen are the Sunfood brand. They are carried in my health food store, but you can get them online at www.sunfood.com The Morroccan olives are my favorite ones :)
  • You sound just like me when I tried to do raw out of desperation for the health benefits. I was addicted to junk food, so it was all raw or all pizza (not healthy kinds, either!), chocolate, & nutri-grain bars (that I ate to get something health…
  • :D HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
