• Soak barley for 24 hours (rinse halfway through if you can), then drain, rinse and let sprout for another 24, rinsing twice per day. Run it through a Champion-type juicer with the blank in, or run it in your food processor (dough won’t be as smooth,…

• Winona – Thanks for posting those recipes! I just posted on another thread how I never eat raw broccoli much, except for a few weeks last fall, when I ate it a lot, but putting it with garlic sounds really good now, for some reason – yum!

• Ooh, pianissima, that sounds good! I like cocoa: warm water, cacao powder, agave, a little maca powder, and the meat from a young coconut, or you could use a nut milk in place of the water and coconut meat, and either run it long enough that the ble…

• Wow, I’m envious of your opportunity! I eat less food when eating raw than I do when eating cooked food, because I get what I need (vitamins, minerals, etc.) in smaller amounts of food. I have been eating high-raw for about 3 years now. Greens seem …

• It could be both – or one for some types of people, and the other for others. That’s why there is conflicting information – everyone is not the same as everyone else :) The thing that is important is to set goals of being healthy, and giving the bod…

• Raw honey works pretty well if it’s not runny, and maple syrup works well if you liquefy the coconut oil, mix it with the maple syrup and then add the chocolate powder, but maple syrup isn’t raw, so if you’re strictly 100% then that wouldn’t be the …

• I mix the powder and coconut oil (I agree; I don’t liquefy the coconut oil, either) together well first, and then add the agave or honey and stir it all up again. I mix it again before I use it if it has been sitting because the agave sometimes sepe…

• I just talked to a guy I’ve been friends with for a long time, and he was giving me a lot of skepticism about “health food” eaters not looking very healthy, and I realized after talking to him that he has always been argumentative about the way I ea…

  in RAW or SAD partners? Comment by angie207
• I’m divorced, but living with my parents. When I was married, even before eating raw, I ate really bad compared to how I had eaten before that, because I just ended up mostly eating what my husband wanted, and my health declined a lot. I know now th…

• suryadaya – That’s true – it is very easy to confuse thirst for hunger and not make the best decisions about what goes into the mouth :) heeheehee Sorry, I’m not laughing at your pain, but at the ridiculousness of some things I do just because I did…

• I don’t know about the doctor’s note, but frozen stuff would keep the other food cold longer, and maybe you could bring it in something insulated? For water, I would say drink extra water every day for a week before you’re going to fly, and then you…

• I find that for me, walking is the best way to shed belly flab. Everyone is different, and different exercises work differently for each person. Some people seem to hold onto extra weight if they are doing exercises that are not the best for them (t…

• No, oat groats are not raw, and neither are most rolled oats, but you can get raw rolled oats from www.alissacohen.com and sproutable (raw) oats from www.sunorganic.com – just look for the oats for sprouting, not the oat groats.

• bitt – First of all, I disagree about herbs being avoided because they are drugs. They are plants, like the foods we eat are plants and affect our bodies in different ways. One of the things raw foodies seem to quote a lot is Hippocrates’s advice to…

• I had Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). I was so sick I couldn’t stand up or walk by myself, and if it had gone a few more hours I could have been dead. I was in ICU for 2 days, and I am alright now.

• If you have one near you, I get avocados at Costco and they are almost always perfect! I buy them a little green, they ripen up well within 1 to 3 days, and they last well in the fridge after that.
