• veg juice goes rancid really quickly. Make sure you put it in a glass container that is airtight (preferably dark glass so light doesn't disrupt) Keep as little air in there as possible and keep it as cold as possible. Ive found that veg juice can g…

• i would just cut out the mylk and see if you heal up, you want to make sure you figure out what it is youre allergic to. Plus a liter of mylk a day is a lot, you may have not have problems in small amounts.

• The smoothie will start to separate, just shake it to blend it back up. Its best to consume them as soon as possible b/c the nutrients will start to die a bit. Also they taste better fresh. Consume your smoothies within 24 hrs- after that they start…

• i prefer carob to cacao. cacao has caffeine and a lot of fat in it naturally. it kinda jacks me up a bit. Its getting easier to find raw cacao in a lot of health markets, where raw carob is trickier to find. Sunfood sells raw carob cheaply if that h…

• thats a normal effect of coming off the depo. sorry to say. I was on it for 5 years and when i went off i bled like a stuck hog (tmi, but now you know). Its not really a period per se, but its your body cleaning out, more or less. Depo shots pump yo…

• Im on day 64 of my second juice feast. I can tell you that you will lose weight. If you are already low in weight a 92-day feast is not optimal for you. I would recommend a 30-day feast. Do lots of green fruit juices to help keep your body from drop…

• I fridge my shoyu. I think its fine on the counter for a while, but i dont go through a bottle very fast so i want to keep it fresher longer.

• rotton mushroom juice + green algae = what's not to like? Seriously, i love the multi-green. Its my addiction. I think it has almost a cheesy taste to it... i drink at least 2-3 bottles per week.

• i think you can still soak them and use the millet that way. they wont be 'live' but they will be 'raw'. also im sure the birdies wouldn't mind a share.

• your brain and organs do need some fat. If your skin is dry or you feel spacey its a sign of too low fat intake. Fat is like sodium- you need it- but a little goes a long way. kudos on the edit- superfood- you're right- sodium not salt.

• You probably want something with a bit more fat in it. Totally normal. Make yourself a raw alfredo (yum) or some yummy nut pate (theres tons of mock tuna salads on here) Or try backing off a bit and add some cooked vegan foods. Maybe a tofu or tempe…

• Hey Hey today is day 59 of my juice feast! Juicefeasting.com has a lot of the info you need. Make sure you do at least one bunch of celery a day to get your sodium (more if you sweat a lot). There are really no recipes for juice, honestly its whatev…

• what are you eating exactly? 811? Higher fat? Are you getting enough greens? You may want to try a master cleanse or a juice feast to help get your BP down to a safer level.

• I disagree with 811 if youre constipated. It made me horribly constipated and i used to have IBS so thats a deal breaker for me. Here's what has helped me: Do lemon with water and a pinch of cayenne in the morning. That helps to wake up the belly. T…

• Keep the culture in a warm place. the colder it gets the more dormant the culture gets. When you harvest your tea, keep that in the fridge so it wont keep culturing. Wash all your utensils in vinegar- don't use soap- the residue can contaminate your…

• you will get cold doing juicing (trust me i have my space heater on right now and im on day 53 of my juice feast) I attribute it to thinner blood due to lack of fat in the diet. But on the plus side, lower body temp means we will live longer.

• i have had the exact same problem when juicing- if i buy store bought juice ill gain weight. I think its the salt/higher sugar content due to pasteurizing. Make yourself some of the MC lemonade- that seems to flush out the excess water weight.

• I agree with spinach too! I hated it cooked- so icky! Greens are one of those things you gotta have raw. I prefer beets cooked- not sure why. The only way i like them raw is when i juice them. mmm beet juice.
