• hey all! so today was SO MUCH BETTER than last month’s PMS time—my period is due in like 3 days and I am doing fine. Not perfect, a bit fatigued and low on energy, but not a crazy raving bitch either :) My diet today: Smoothie: 2 bananas, 1 cup berr…

• hey figs!!!! welcome! I recommend you read the book-you won’t get deficient on anything, certainly not on a month trial, and you might find you feel so good that you’re hooked. The key, as littlegems said, is to eat enough calories. That was my down…

  in What's for dinner? Comment by nycgrrl
• I don’t know. For me I have been raw about 5 months (with about a month off the wagon-disastrous). 80-10-10 works for me, in a way. I can’t really get to 10% that easily, but 15-20 is doable for the fat, and benefits me IMMENSELY. However, I am addi…

• i lost about 15 lbs with raw, and it took a couple months. Just stick to raw, keep the oils low-ish and you’ll be fine. Don’t overdo the nuts either—a 1/4 cup a day to 1/2 cup a day is enough.

• I crave starches, bitt…..brown rice, grains…a bit of olive oil. Har d to resist, don’t know what happened to my original post, but basically my pms lasted 8 days, very irritable, really bad. hasn’t been that bad since last year!

• I love quintessence!!!!! glad you went there-i like it more than pure food and wine, which i find WAY too heavy in terms of the food, and annoying in terms of the ambience.

• hey mamamilik and bitt-thanks. Well, last night I slept a solid 8 hours, thank God. I feel better. I started taking iron pills, just to see what happens. Mamamilk-right now I am not doing 811, but ‘modified’ low fat—about 15-20% of my calories from …
