• sunfood is all raw, don’t know for sure about your health food stores, but most is probably not raw, cuz it’s faster/more economical to dry at high temps when not concerned about raw. I love the raw dried fruit from www.therawchoice.com They also se…

• The “half your body weight in ounces” comes from my holistic health care person, but is still for average people, and she uses muscle response testing to give people specific recommendations tailored for them. That’s how I used to figure it out, bef…

• omshanti – Water drying out your skin haha! :D I get the same thing. Sometimes my hands especially seem dry (even when I drink 3 or 4 liters of water a day), and avocados, flax, etc. are what fix it.

  in Do We Need Less Water? Comment by angie207
• The 8-10 cups rule is a general rule for the average person. More appropriate is half your body weight in ounces, but that is based on the average person’s diet, which is mostly cooked and therefore not rich in liquids. If you are eating 100% raw wi…

• stylistchick – I have noticed the same thing – when I have gone to eating cooked food again, the depression came back/worsened. Being raw is what enables me to handle life and feel good. I forgot how bad I used to feel all the time until I went off …

• Most “drying” is done at higher temperatures – so dried foods have been heated (cooked) for a long time to dry them out. Don’t know how you would find out about low temp dehydrating.

• There is a recipe on here for whipped cream that is sort of puddingy if the coconut meat is thick – it’s not my thing, but my son likes to just eat it plain.

• The best way for me as far as how much to eat and maintain a good weight for me, was to go shopping or look at recipes and see what foods/ingredients appealed to me, and eat them. As much as appealed to me. That is how I lost weight when overweight,…

• pianissima – scoop the meat out? Of a mature coconut? I thought only the young coconuts could be scooped – when I have bought mature coconuts, the meat was thick and hard to get out, but maybe I should try it again?

  in coconuts Comment by angie207
• That link I posted shows/tells how to open one – don’t know about other resources like picking out or what to do with it – I only use the young Thai coconuts and not the mature ones.

  in Coconut Water Comment by angie207
• Yeah, young Thai coconuts, definitely! If you get them really fresh, they store in the fridge easily for a week or longer unopened, so you can load up – I love to buy them by the case at the Asian market. That way, I have them on hand and can eat/dr…

• bitt – high raw just means 80% or more. Water, greens, and/or exercise do it for me, and sometimes just literally jumping and shouting for joy!

• So is fruitarian eating anything with seeds in it – like cucumber, tomato, zucchini, avocado, etc. ? Or is it just sweet fruit? I am curious – I have heard people talk about fruitarianism, but I don’t know very much about it.
