• achin70 – Thanks for the info. about foods. I have been warmer lately, and I thought it was just because the weather is getting warmer – then I realized it has been snowing and very cold wind lately, and my mom has been saying it is COLD! I have bee…

• I exercised yesterday for about 45 minutes, and I got WARM! I think I have to agree with the exercise thing.

• Girlfridae, you are a genius! Iodine deficiency could be the culprit. That could be why people with hypothyroidism get cold a lot – or why people who get cold a lot often get/have hypothyroidism. They are both related to an iodine deficiency. Kelp i…

• I also wonder if people use the word detox to describe all the changes like withdrawal, because people go through “detox” programs to give up alcohol or drugs. Thanks for bringing this up. Definitely it’s good to find out what’s going on if you have…

• pianissima – Thanks! I remembered that aloe vera is supposed to be good for cleansing the colon, too. I just ate the goo from a leaf. Just so anyone knows, you have to drain out the yellow stuff that is in the leaf before eating the gel, or else it …

• I read somewhere that spaciness is a symptom of being too alkaline – that would explain spaciness in people who eat greens and not much else? There is only one raw food restaurant in Utah, and a couple of other places that may have some raw choices …

• B12 is really the only thing you can’t get from raw plant foods. It is in some sea vegetables, but then people have said that it isn’t the right kind of B12 for our bodies to use. Gabriel Cousens, M.D. recommends a B12 supplement (the sublingual kin…

• You can add some spirulina powder to your juices for more protein. Also, you can maybe add hemp seeds to your smoothies to make a shake and get protein and good fats from the hemp, but I don’t know how you do with nuts/seeds – could you eat them if …

• Cas65 - There is at least one previous discussion on goneraw about/for raw athletes, and most people who posted were runners. Search for "raw athletes" - sorry I don't remember the title exactly.

• danzinraw – sounds like you’re doing great – my advice: keep it up (doing what works). That will likely change regularly – just go with it & enjoy the journey! :)

• I like the Omega 8005, but it is kinda slow, & it doesn’t replace a blender. If you get a strong blender, you can blend your fruits & veggies & then strain through a nutmilk bag to get just the juice. I like my mom’s vitamix for making n…

• missbettie and Allantgy – Bananas have all the essential amino acids so they are a complete protein source and are filling. Nuts, seeds and avocados are also good examples of filling/high-calorie foods to keep you going and keep weight & energy …

• Thanks Bluedolphin and amysue, and thanks to everyone who is concerned – I have been so happy to see y’all are still interested in what’s happening. The past week has been fairly discouraging, because my dad hasn’t liked much of the stuff I have mad…

• Thanks, guys! Superman is funny. Sometimes he likes things if I don’t tell him what they are supposed to be like, and sometimes it makes him like it more if he knows it is “raw tuna” or whatever. My dad didn’t think the BLT wraps were like bacon, bu…

• It’s so cool seeing my dad eat raw vegetables by choice! He puts together some weird stuff, too, I’m glad he is starting to do some himself, because he hasn’t loved most of the stuff I have made for him :)

• This morning, my dad got up, came into the kitchen, and started making his breakfast. He sauteed some onions and broke up some leftover chicken in it, and the rest was raw (except for balsamic vinegar). He chopped broccoli and cauliflower tiny in th…

• That would be awesome – he has called himself “The Raw Food Man” before when he gets in his I-want-to-make-some-raw-food mode, creating a new raw creation! Thanks for all the information!

• Bluedolphin – Thanks for the link and the idea! I just signed up on freecycle; I need to see what I have to give away! I just realized I am kind of slow – I bought a digital camera a couple of months ago, and if I buy the right memory card it will d…

• Bluedolphin – Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe someday when I have money for a video cam and know-how to be able to do the youtube thing – He would go nuts over an opportunity like that! “The Grans in the kitchen” – that makes me smile :) okay laugh …

• Yeah, that is funny :D Superman is pretty good at instructing people how to do things – he wants us to “put ourselves on TV, and the name of it is going to be ‘The RawFood Chefs’” I love it. Superman ate 6 cups of fruit sorbet yesterday, and about 3…

• lzhpt – You’re right; it is huge! I remember when I transitioned to raw – it was a lot of trial and error. I was thinking today that maybe my dad wouldn’t want the food after he tasted it a few times or went without his sausage and eggs for breakfas…
