  • sagittarius sun, gemini moon.
  • Hi from a fellow NYer rawbie :) I’m on Long Island. It sounds like you are making excellent progress. Stick with it, the rewards are huge. Have you checked www.meetup.com for raw food potlucks in your area? There may be more around than you realize!
  • That definitely looks yummy.
  • Hi bitt, If I had to pick just one I’d say Susan Schenk’s “The Live Food Factor”. She quotes from a broad range of raw food books and studies that I think it gives you great exposure to a lot of what is out there.
  • angie I just placed my first order with realrawfood.com this week and I look forward to receiving it! xeno I am pretty new to raw and like you have sought to read as much as possible on the topic. All of the books that I have read so far are great, …
  • I use and love a brand called Suki. It really works well for me. Free of synthetics, gmo ingredients. I believe all their ingredients are food grade. From their website: suki is a complete line of 100% natural skin care products that integrates the …
  • Hi Sue, I was there, against the wall, close to up front! With my husband, my sister, and a friend. We did the tasting menu. It was great!!!
  • nycgrrl – how did you like Pure Food and Wine? My sister kept asking “are you sure there really isn’t cheese in this? it tastes like real cheese …” It was so cute :)
  • We made a reservation because we have a big table (4 or 5). We made one last time also and it seemed like you could have gotten away without it. You can make them online through the website or call. They are very nice there. Ours is for 6pm. What ti…
  • HI rawnessrox – I’m in the suburbs of Long Island. I think there are a lot more raw vegans around NYC than you realize! Definitely look into the meetups. My husband and I went to Quintessence last month and loved it. Great food, all raw. You will lo…
  • I printed the Gabriel Cousens article on B-12 and this one and read them together http://www.roylretreat.com/articles/b12.html and they have very different conclusions. Then I read these articles on B-12 which were even more informative: http://www.…
  • I have a green smoothie before a workout. In that there are chia seeds for hydration, kale or some other green du jour, apples or pears and a mango to make it smoother, and lastly a good amount of water to get it all going. After a strenuous high in…
  • Kevin, How is your EasyGreen Sprouter working out? I just ordered mine today. Have you tried sunflower greens?
  • I bought it! Haven’t used it yet … waiting until I get my next period to do so, but they are becoming few and far between now that I am at an almost 100% raw vegan diet now. Hallelujah.

  • Tell them that dairy leads to losing calcium. All that marketing to the contrary is just that – marketing to the masses to make money. NOT provide calcium. Here is a great article at the Well Being Journal Website on calcium: http://www.wellbeingjou…

  • Kayo and Runnagurl, a great book to read (very short read) is On Nutrition and Athletic Performance by Dr. Douglas Graham. I found it to be very informative on the best way to fuel yourself for recovery and training. Good luck Runnagurl! Where is yo…

  • Last year I switched to using Tooth Soap from www.drbenkim.com because what he wrote about brushing with toothpaste and fluoride really made sense to me. Over the years I had heard from a few people how bad fluoride is for you and I remember thinkin…
  • Addicting isn’t it Fee? I didn’t know she had a new book. I’m going to look it up on Amazon now. Hope you like the Tahini-Date mixture Sarm. Winona that dressing looks great!
    in Tahini....?? Comment by AKAAuburnEyes
  • I have a book called Eat Smart Eat Raw and it suggested putting 1/2 teaspoon of tahini in 1 pitted date and having that as a snack. After trying a couple of those Sunday night I cannot quite get them off of my mind. Definitely not something to make …

  • Here is a really interesting little snippet from organic athlete re: salt http://www.organicathlete.org/content/view/374/... The rest of their educational articles are equally great! What do you eat before your run Rawnat? I think Izhpt is right on …
  • Great books, definitely very inspiring. I am lending out her books to anyone that shows interest now. They are just fantastic.
  • Tonight we’ll be having a salad with the first batch of mung brean sprouts I have ever done. I used the mason jar / plastic screen sprout cap combination. I’ve sprouted chick peas for hummus and that works out well also. Last night I set up sunflowe…

  • This is one of the very first raw food book I purchased when I began learning about this type of lifestyle. It is great for those just starting out because it gets you thinking and next thing you want to learn more.
  • I’ve had no problem with making them and having them the next day. I think you will be safe with them overnight in the fridge.
  • Our bodies actually run on carbs, it is our main fuel source. Protein is not a fuel source at all, except in the case of starvation where the body with break down protein to convert it to carbs.
  • I eat a very high ratio of fruit in my diet without any blood sugar issues. It leaves me feeling completely satisfied without a heavy feeling at all and refreshed. I eat almost all my fruit with greens (celery, cucumber or leafy greens). Fruits I cr…
  • I purchased a Needak rebounder in January. I use it almost every single day. I can certainly feel a difference in my knees, for the better. The one I have access to at the gym is a cheaper model and it is a great deal less comfortable than the Needa…
  • A good rule of thumb is to wait 48-72 hours after a strenuous workout before the next one. Most people under-recover and though you won’t see the harm from that for a while you won’t see the benefits from your exercise either. Nothing actually happe…
