• I've been 100% 80/10/10 for the past 5 months. I swim, run, take karate, weights, and go biking all the time, and I just finished running my first half-marathon. I found that eating LOTS of fresh fruit (for me right now, oranges, melon, bananas, dat…

• Picking a favorite for me is tricky. I have more than one favorite. I guess the best for me to be as selective as possible would be that if I could only pick a select few fruits to live on the rest of my life it would be Atfaulo Mango, Fuyu Persimmo…

• Personally I don't believe in labels like these. I just tell people that I eat a raw plant based diet (with the exception of raw honey). But if someone calls themselves a raw foodist, raw vegan, or raw vegetarian, this is rough definition of what ea…

• Fresh fruit, dried fruit (like yummy medjool dates!), green stevia (which is the raw, unbleached, and has NO aftertaste), and raw honey.

• AVL, I know exactly what you mean! I'm quite slender and it just blows my mind that I can eat so much food and still stay so tiny!! LOL. I think it's because by the next day your stomach has completely digested and eliminated all the food from the d…

• Leafy greens are the one food that can be combined with anything, fruits included. All other vegetables are a no no when it comes to green smoothies, they are not good on the food combining charts.

  in Green smoothies Comment by Rawaholic
• yup! The only sweet stuff I can handle now is fruit, yacon, and raw honey. Anything else (even agave) is just WAY to sweet for me.

• I refuse to conform to labels such as veganism, vegetarianism, raw foodist, simple because these words end with -ism and -ist, which represents a form of "religion". I don't believe that food, raw or not, is a religion. Food is a way to maintain you…

• Doing well so far! :D It's harder near the end of the end of the day to stay away from to much fat during the winter time when it's really cold out here. I use the CRON-o-Meter to keep track of my calories, nutrient, and carb/protein/fat ratio. It h…

• I think it all depends on where you are at in your raw journey. When I first started "dabbling" with raw food I was very much into gourmet raw and I LOVED the Raw Revolution bars. After finally going 100% raw for a while I found that I was able to r…

• Some of them are 100%. Others rage from 90%-98.4%. If you look on the back of the package where the ingredients are listed, right underneath there it tells you how raw it it is. Their Spirulina Agave Cashew bars are 100%. I think the Agave and Cashe…

• I either use Pine Nuts or Hemp Seed when substituting for cashews in a savory dish. When I sweeter recipe calls for cashews and I want to substitute it with something else I usually use either mac nuts or almonds (occasionally dried coconut).
