• As many as I needed to, in order to be healthiest. ;) The weight I am now is not the same as then, either. I am focused on health & I refuse to focus on weight, as I feel it is secondary to health, or that a healthy weight is a result of a healt…

• Experiment with some recipes now. I find that even when I'm busiest, it's not too hard to eat well now that I have several recipes I like that don't take very long to make. Zoe's "Cheese With Spring Onions" from this site is one I really like.

• Eloisa - have you tried eating more nuts/seeds/grains/bananas/avocados/dates? I seem to gravitate toward eating more calorie-dense foods when it's cold. Also, a way I like to get my greens in the wintertime is to make kale salad (look up "rock &…

• I agree with Meditating. Often studies are published with someone's opinion of what the results indicate, when the study may not have been done in a way to make sure the conclusion is accurate. Often studies are planned in a way to more likely produ…

• I have the best success feeling great & staying raw when I eat whatever I want as long as it's raw. When I got the cooked starches out of my system, I was able to know what my body needed much more easily. I feel a lot better eating more fat, or…

• Hemp seeds are a MUCH better source of protein than soy (in my opinion/experience). If you're looking for a good way to get extra carbs/calories, and also want complete protein, you could make the shake I like: 1/4 cup hemp seeds, 2 cups water, 2 - …

• Where do you FIND reduced produce? I only once in a while see bananas marked cheaper. No reason not to save some money, unless the stuff is rotten/moldy. :) Here's a tip: whether marked cheaper or not, sometimes kale is pretty wilted if it's been in…

• Woohoo! Good for you! I love it. I agree - it's hard NOT to be raw when you feel so good. :)

• I recently learned that first aid for hypothermia includes a "sugary drink" - I think that's why the dried mangoes have been warming me up. Any quick-acting carbs should do the trick - dates, etc.

• If you use rice in a bag, don't heat in more than 1 minute, or you may get burned. It gets really hot very easily. Another idea I had is to make a blender soup (put some kind of fat - avocado, hemp seeds, etc. in it for creaminess). Pour it into a Z…

• If you're aiming for 100% raw, then vegetable broth isn't any more raw than any other cooked food - you're right. I eat more nuts & seeds in the winter. I also eat "heavier" greens, like kale instead of lettuce. I also eat more broccoli, cabbage…

• The Soya-Kaas that pirawna mentioned is not raw. My system likes raw goat milk cheese much better than Soya-Kaas or any other storebought cheese, dairy or not.

• It is iron that is best consumed with vitamin C to maximize absorption, not calcium with vitamin C.

• Funny; I just made some crackers with chia seeds in them - they're in the dehydrator now - I just wish they weren't so expensive! Also, 1 cup of chopped kale has 9% RDI of calcium & 6% RDI of iron.

• TomsMom - Oh, sorry, I was tired when I read it last night, I guess. :P Sesame seeds do have more calcium per cup than almonds, but I just can't stand the bitter taste of sesame seeds enough to eat very much of them. I'm looking here for ideas to ge…

• I looked up nutrition info. for turnips, and one large turnip only has 5% of the daily intake of calcium. I don't think I could eat (or drink) enough turnips to get very much calcium. :P
