• RKC, what do you do with all your candy? I was a party pooper this year. My boyfriend was out of town and I hardly know anyone where we live. I was home watching movies. I don’t give out candy because I feel strongly that junkfood is part of the obe…

• I’m not a dream expert in any way, shape or form, but whatever bothers me consciously or subconsciously seems to work its way into my dreams at night. When I was a SAD-eating bulimic, I was often so exhausted at night that I’d wake up and not rememb…

• Sprouted oat groats, sesame seeds (unhulled) and tahini, sea veggies, dark leafy greens, broccoli, figs and chia are some great plant sources of calcium. Eat lots and neither you nor your little one should be wanting for extra calcium. I was not bre…

• I’m drinking a glass of water with GSE in it now. It’s very bitter, but I’ve tasted worse. I really don’t find that my mouth retains the taste, if I chase it with a second glass of fresh water. Yesterday, I added some pomegranate, cranberry and cher…

• Funny. I don’t like coconut oil for anything other than a body moisturizer. I think I now realize part of the reason. I’m using one by Omega. It’s organic, but it’s not virgin or extra virgin. I just read the label on the one I have. It says: “great…

• It would be nice if there was a way to search past forum posts by keyword or by multiple keywords, separated by commas. If it exists, it’s not obvious. It’s kind of painful to try to through dozens of pages in the hopes of finding a thread that answ…

• I’d steer clear of anyone who advocates sticking a hose up the wazoo every day. He’s either a kinkmeister or he has way too much free time! LOL! There’s something to be said for eating a lot of fibre and drinking lots of water. Things tend to flow p…

• I’m not 80/10/10, but I made a blender soup the other day that included a tiny thai bird chile (about an 8 out of 10 on the heat scale). I removed the seeds before adding it, but it would have been even spicier had I left them in. The soup was very …

• Can’t you soak to get the slime off, season (if you want) and dehydrate them whole? I ate roasted seeds in the shells as a kid. We just cracked the shells open in our mouths and spit out the hulls. I tried to dehydrate some from a tiny pumpkin pie p…

• Wow! Good to know, waterbaby12347. I knew about the 4s and 9s, but not the 8s an 3s. I’m going to have to go sleuthing in my supermarket. Not everything (meaning loose produce) has the code stickers on it, though. I guess I’ll have to pay attention …

• Meditating, do you know of other fruits and vegetables that are widely sold in GMO versions? I’m aware of corn and soy, but I didn’t know about potatoes. I’m sure there are lots of Franken-crops out there, but do you know of any, so I know what to a…

• Look on Amazon.com. They often have sales on big appliances and shipping is often free. You can read customer reviews and compare all the models and brands they carry. I bought a KitchenAid KFP750CR 700-Watt 12-Cup Food Processor, Chrome from Amazon…

• Rawforhealth, I would wash everything when you get it home, then bag it or put it in containers. This way, everything’s clean and ready whenever you want/need it. Also, you’re in control of how much moisture there is. I’ve brought home bags of baby …

• This is a tough question. I live just a few minutes from my grocery store, so I’m comfortable running out whenever I need something. However, when it comes to produce, if I buy in larger quantities, storage is definitely a concern. I use those Ziplo…

• The Green Star juicer can juice wheatgrass, though I haven’t tried growing my own at home. My understanding of wheatgrass is that it is very tough on the stomach. Cows have 4 stomachs to help break down very fibrous grasses. That’s the reason we onl…

• I buy mine rock hard, because it guarantees that they won’t have any bruises. I let them ripen on the counter, near other fruit. It usually only takes a few days. To hasten the ripening process, put them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or a slice …

  in Hot Avocados !! Comment by 1sweetpea
• I think avos might change flavour and colour if cooked. What about heat a base soup, then adding room temp chopped avos, so that they are slightly warm but definitely not cooked? You could heat some water, blend in some chickpea miso, then add some …

• Actually, my parents used to call me sweetpea when I was little. One of them called me that recently and my boyfriend nearly gagged. I think it’s cute, though. There’s another person here with the name sweetpea, so I thought I’d add a number to it. …

• I think you should eat the cooked food and truly experience all that India has to offer. You can buy plenty of fruits, vegetables and nuts in India to do raw self catering, but to avoid the incredible vegetarian cuisine would be a real shame. You ca…

• I’ve heard that doing colonics once every season (4 times per year) is more than adequate. If you’re “pretty clean”, then accept it and wait a few months before doing another. Your clean system should be perfectly able to eliminate effectively on it…

• I’m sure you can see why the binge and purge happened right after the fasting, so I’ll leave that one alone, but I do want to address muscle mass. It’s a great idea to build muscles, but you’ll only do that if you’re taking in enough calories, in th…

• First of all, you should probably forget about fasts, at least for now, while you’re so underweight. Fasting will only make your system more out of whack. Without having a clear idea of what you eat on a daily basis, it’s tough to give you advice fr…
