  • Thanks Joyce! This thanksgiving out of the 5 of us for dinner there were two vegans, two vegetarians and just 1 SAD eater. We had a wonderful veggie feast. Im gonna post that link to adopt a turkey to my facebook- maybe it'll give people new ideas.
  • i totally agree with liveyourdream- its probably your tastes changing. That 'kombucha wonder drink' that they carry at whole foods is a ton sweeter. i think high country's kombucha is less sweet than GT's. I love the multi-green as its not super swe…

  • i love the idea of a papaya facial, bryan! that sounds utterly delightful! I use coconut oil for a lot of my skin care. awesome for aftershave, moisturizer and tattoo conditioner. i also put it in my hair, sleep overnight with it in then wash it out…
  • would you be in need of a graphic designer to design your marketing materials?
  • this is a tough one... I dont know if a raw version is really gonna work. Ive made some raw 'scrambles' before and they just havent wowed me. If you want a healthier version, www.happyherbivore.com has a mostly fat free recipe for vegan biscuits and…
  • If i make something cooked its gonna be a wild rice and quinoa stuffed acorn squash. but for my raw yummies im going to make kandaces parsnip whip with gravy, marinated spinach salad, and cranberry relish. I will probably make a pie too... Anybody h…

  • I would do a liver/gallbladder flush. First however you should do a colon cleanse, to clear the way for the crap coming out of your liver and gallbladder. Check out 'the amazing liver and gallbladder cleanse" When you drink that oil/lemon mix its go…
  • this thread has been pretty inspiring to me- im a runner too (just did my first half marathon a month ago) and just thinking of running barefoot on sand or on cool grass sounds so luscious. Im going to research it and try to transition i think. than…
    in Barefoot Running Comment by wichten
  • troubles- i think that barefoot running is a great concept. its totally natural. humans have been out-running things for millions of years without running shoes. I know for a fact that running in ill-fitting shoes will mess up your body (knees for s…

  • its better to let them sprout little tails. Ive heard of people getting sick off of soaked chickpeas whereas other people do ok. So i say- try a small amout and judge how you feel.
  • agreed- try tracking your calories with nutritiondata.com or fitday.com it helps you learn to find a balance.

  • try adding more protein and other fats. Avos and coconuts are easier to digest. A little protein and fat in each meal will help control cravings. But Im with you- if i have cashews around Ill eat them all.

  • hey girl- deep breath. you're a great mom, be strong! let your heart guide you and it wont steer you wrong.
  • hey rawmamanibbles- can you post how you make tempeh with chickpeas??!! that sounds awesome! i love tempeh but i kinda fear the soy. and vegankid- i recommend hemp too for protein or even add some ground flax to your smoothies. take care of yourself…
  • vinegar can tame spice too- but it will affect the taste if you add too much. you may simply want to toss. habaneros are vicious buggers

  • for me- nothing stops me up faster than bread... but a better solution may be green smoothies. Theyve got tons of fiber to regulate and are easy on the digestion.
  • My ex-boyfriend and i (were good friends now no worries) have both lost a lot of weight. It took about 3 years, but he is 6'0" and went from 250 lbs to 135 at his lowest, and has stabilized at around 155 lbs. Im 5'8" and went from 180 lbs to 120 at …

  • i swear it reminds me a bit of chocolate milk, its smooth, sweet and dare i say it... a bit creamy. and an odd orange/brown color to boot. Fall is the best time to make it, b/c the carrots are so sweet right now. rawaholic that sounds awesome!! i wi…

  • yeah i'm thinking about stopping by the juice bar and getting an apple/kale on my way home from work now. ive been craving one since i typed this (and am feeling lazy about making it)
    in Favorite juices Comment by wichten
  • personal faves (from the juicing queen): almost chocolate milk: 1 lb carrots 2 large apples bag of spinach blood booster: 2 beets 1/2-1 bunch kale 1 apple (optional) 1/2 lemon peeled cucumber melon (drink extra cold, it tastes like ice cream): equal…

  • i've come to prefer carob to cocao. I get jittery off of cocao and its also pretty high in fat. carob seems like the healthier option, raw or not.

  • rice and beans. artichoke hearts on a salad. sometimes tofu, but it gets to my sinuses. a good beer on a hot day. glass of wine with friends. sweet potato fries. hot soup in the winter hot tea when its chilly (i know its not raw, but i consider it t…
  • cut out the bananas and see if that helps. i can't eat more than two a day not for multiple days or my mouth becomes inflamed too. banana sensitivities are common.
    in Red Gums???? Comment by wichten
  • how much fruit or dates are you eating? It could be too much sugar. It could also be a food allergy- are you eating anything in large quantities that you hadn't before? nuts, bananas, nightshades?
    in Red Gums???? Comment by wichten
  • you need to chew. If you are not chewing your teeth and gums will get weak and rot. This is the main reason you can't live off of just juice. You could do two meals of smoothies a day, but you should do at least one solid meal and snack. Also if you…
  • congrats on 40 days! WOW!! :D Try incorporating local humanely harvested bee pollen into your diet and see if that helps with your allergies. Green smoothies are a big help when it comes to cravings. Start making those for breakfast/lunch and you'll…

  • agreed. you were retaining water and probably were detoxing too. Its good to take er easy the day before (even a few days before) a colonic. I also recommend drinking apple/celery juice after to replace electrolytes.
  • i would say stop measuring your bp, do some yoga or slow walk in a tranquil place, pet some animals (go to a shelter if you dont have pets, theyll let you play with the animals). smell the flowers and breathe deep. Detox is about letting go- no hold…
  • Colonics are amazing. You can get all kinds of stuff out of you. And yes, if you have parasites you can watch them float on by in the little window of the machine. My hydrotherapist told me that she has also seen things like barbie shoes float by th…
  • no your teeth and gums will become weak from disuse and can rot/fall out. As long as you are getting your calories, you can go for about 100 days on just juice. check out juicefeasting.com
