• Please post what you end up making & how it is received! Dates cut in half lengthwise with a little almond butter inside and a raspberry on top is simple and surprisingly yummy! I’ve made it and people are surprised by how good it tastes – my fr…

• Honeygal – that’s interesting. I’m glad people are willing to be honest about what’s going on. I’ve had people ask me if I’m a “raw foodist” and even though I love raw food and it makes me feel good, I feel hesitant in the term. That is because it s…

  in Raw, is it for me?? Comment by angie207
• Yeah, I agree – If you can’t do fruit, nuts, seeds or sprouted things, it sounds like you’re left with veggies & grains. It may be that you need the cooked stuff for now, and maybe someday more raw will be what you need, but unless/until that ha…

• el-bo: Our walnuts and apricot kernels are still just as good a year or more later – no intervention :) Sorry to hear about your trauma (I could imagine) looking up the topic! I didn’t know you are only into the fresh foods. And I seem to digest nut…

  in could nuts make one tired? Comment by angie207
• el-bo: I don’t know where you got the thing about nuts being dried, but we have an apricot tree. The nuts/kernels from inside the pit are similar to almonds in appearance, taste & texture, and the minute I pick a fresh apricot & crack the pi…

• chriscarlton – Thanks for the info. on which nuts are really raw – interesting, I have naturally gravitated to pine nuts, hazelnuts & walnuts lately because they felt better than the other nuts I had been using. Truly raw cashews are also availa…

• Oh, yeah – My Chocolate Coconut pie is really yummy, too – I may have to make one myself… :)

  in Bought some young coconuts...and have some raw cacao too...what should i make?? Comment by angie207
• I LOVE raw warm cocoa – 2 c.warm water, 3 T.cacao powder, 1/3 c. raw agave (or to taste), 1/2 tsp. maca powder, the meat of 1 young coconut to make it creamy, and blend it all in the blender – yummy! You may be able to leave out the maca if you don’…

• Different people need different things, and the same person needs different things at different times, depending on what is happening in the individual. I have eaten high-raw for almost 3 years, and I am eating what may be a lot of nuts for some peo…

• My grandparents lived in Grand Junction, and it’s where my parents both grew up :) I used to go there 3 or 4 times a year when I was a kid. How close are you? Do they have an Asian Market? I drive 30 minutes one way to buy young coconuts by the case…

• El-bo, Thanks for the quotes from the book :) I may not eat that many every day, but I DO eat a lot of nuts, oils & fats (I also eat a ton of fruit – I just eat a lot!), and I am well aware of what my body wants by now, as that has been my inten…

• All this talk about calories got me curious, so I decided to see how many calories I’ve been eating. I know I’ve been eating a lot of nuts and fruit the last few days, but I didn’t know calories: 2633 so far today, and I’ll probably eat more before …

• For the record, there are many people who eat much less than 1500 calories per day and thrive. A woman named Barbara Moore walked across the USA (at age 56) – San Francisco to New York – the same way she had done many times walking in the Alps in Sw…

• I read recently that avocados have something in them that actually helps the body burn/lose fat. And yes, 30 days is very early in the process, so the detox is not late at all. Drinking lots of green juices can help detox go more smoothly without so…

• Yeah, my mom always knows if I’ve been eating something I shouldn’t because of the smell, lol. She’ll usually notice the smell (I sometimes get gas, too) and she’ll ask “What have you been eating?” There’s no getting away with it – funny, since she’…

• I was chronically constipated my whole life and didn’t know it wasn’t healthy/normal. Being raw is the only way I don’t have that problem any more – I never knew how “regular” felt – hooray for RAW FOOD!!!!!!!!

• elizabethh – thanks! I just found out about hemp seeds, but I didn’t know about the others – funny; I have been thinking I need to use my chia seeds since I got out of the hospital (but I really didn’t know how to use them), and then a couple of day…

• The enzyme supplements are for when people aren’t getting enough in their food, and taking them can make the pancreas lazy. If you’re eating raw, you shouldn’t need them – SHE has it backward. My friend has a painful health condition which is only r…

• chriscarlton – Okay, so I went and checked it out, and although I didn’t find any green that had a complete protein, I found out that the greens ARE closer to complete than some of the nuts I checked. Raw cashews have all the essential amino acids, …

  in My naturopath objects... Comment by angie207
• chriscarlton – I’ve heard people say that about greens, but wouldn’t you have to eat an insane amount of greens? I know that wheatgrass juice has all the essential amino acids, but are there other greens that have them all, as well?

• I thought those were all pasteurized, too…?

  in Unpasteurized juice Comment by angie207
• In the USA, all store-bought juice has to be pasteurized. The only way to get unpasteurized juice is to juice it yourself or get it fresh at a juice bar that does made-to-order fresh juices.

• Also, if it is detox, fruit is really cleansing, and nuts, fats, and cooked foods slow down the cleansing process so it isn’t so hard on your body all at once. If you do want to be raw all at once, green juices help make detox easier and symptoms le…
