• Thank you so much Veggiebean for your comforting comment. Yes it's kind of strange to have that sensation, but I can't stand it! I think that it is a great idea to replace it with carrots! I will do that next time. I wonder what is in it that makes …

• Interesting, I though that all those ruits and veggies had a calming effect on people, but obviously I was mistaken... I don't think it is a sin to ask about what constitute heatlhy food in a vegan or in any other health-oriented site for that matte…

• Almost all the food I buy is organic and I do it for two fundamental reasons. One being, the more veggies I eat the more important it becomes not to have the residual chemicals that may linger in fruits and veggies and may accumulate in my body. In …

• Fiber supplements will help, try a good quality organic (very important) psyllum fiber, that will certainly make bulk and make your stools more formed.

• I think that rawcanadian is right, in that maybe you should pay atttention to the cofactors that help assimilate the calcium as well. You see, most of the time individual vitamines and minerals are sinergistic, and need other vitamines/minerals in o…

• What about dressing? what do you use? The only way that salad makes a meal for me is by using a whole avocado and a dressing with tahini, garlic, olive oil, honey, basil, water, etc. That keeps me going for a while. How big is your salad? mine are u…

• Mikfizzle, I know that there are some green onions and ciboulette varieties that taste a bit like garlic. Sometimes Whole Foods brings them, and also has the seeds you can grow yourself.

• Marantz, if you are not a 'cold turkey' person, you may want to start more gradually. It is still the transformation that you are looking for, but a slower pace will help you figure out what to eat for each meal over a period of time, without the "I…

• Thank you Gotblush for your comment. I wonder what are the repercussions of radiating our food on the long term. It seems that the only way of bypassing this crazyness is by growing your own.

  in Traveling Raw Comment by rawlizard
• You know, since you brought up the topic BrunetteKet, I have a question of my own... I frequently travel to other countries, and I bring a lot of healthy food with me, such as nuts, cereal bars, etc. I was wondering if the food that goes through the…

• Hi lilmisssunshine23, I think most people doing 70% get the other 30% from helathier cooked foods, such as quinoa, bean soups, vegetable soups, etc. rather than from pizza, spagetti, chocolate cake, white bread, etc. (you get the idea). This transit…

• I rinse my vegetables with a solution of water and vinegar. Vinegar kills bacteria on contact, so it works very well well.

• BrunetteKet, I read your blog...it amazes me how you became a vegan! I live in Maryland and I can relate to what you said about being raw is considered strange. I stoped talking to people about the subject anymore. I realized that for most of us bei…

• Thank you BrunetteKet, I would love to hear more about your kids friendly recipes! For me is totally counter intuitive, since I like my smoothies tart instead of sweet. For kids that's an immediate turn off... What other combination would you recomm…

• I am also interested in knowing if the basic (and cheapest) version is good enough to use as a food processor. It wouls be great if I could use it to make carrot salad, cabbage,etc. Thank you!

• When I called the company a while ago, they recommended half a bottle a day, given the amount of lactic acid that this product contains.

  in GT's Kombucha Comment by rawlizard
• Maybe you need to have a slower start. I am not sure if you are new to raw or not, but I think most of us have fallen off the wagon more than once. The key for me is not to crucify myself every time i eat something cooked. Perhaps you should start b…

• I totaly agree with Luxdivon, you need to eat a lot more than one banana for breakfast. You need to have enough calories to keep you rolling. Seeds or/and nuts, for example, are great addition to any breakfast. My favorite is hemp seed, since you ca…

• Here is the link where you can purchase the psyllum fiber I use. http://organicindia.mercola.com/Psyllium.aspx/ Mercola's explanation of the benefits of fiber is good too! :) I hope you feel better soon.

  in Raw food can cure candida? Comment by rawlizard
• I have found that a fiber supplement helps significantly to support the beneficial bacteria and discourage overgrowth of non-benefitial organisms. Fiber also absorbs the bi-products of the candida metabolic processes, which ultimately is what makes …
