• that woman is a moron. she's obviously never done a master cleanse either. Fasting isn't really about weight loss- its about toxin removal. even if you gain the weight back, you'll still reap tons of rewards from fasting. I've met some 'part-time ve…

• I also recommend maca. I have to watch how much i take b/c while i feel great taking it, i will want to make friends with the doorknob. Also try adding in green juices (green fruit or green veggie juices). You may even want to do a full or short ter…

• i agree about the cotton. find some wicking material. If you live in a colder area and you run in cotton, the sweat will stay on your skin so you will get overheated and once you stop your temp will drop too quickly, giving you immediate chills whic…

• yes. i've read that if you're very overweight it is healthy to lose up to 4lbs a day if you go to a healthy raw lifestyle. Your body is getting all it needs and letting go of all it doesn't. congrats!

• I agree with Iwwkevin- before i ever read about monomealing or 811 or anything like that, I would eat a dinner of just apples or grapes when they were in season. I'd get them from the farmers market and it would be all i'd want of a meal. I figured …

• I like carob much more than cacao. Cacao gets me kind of jittery and i think its kind of addictive. Carob has that chocolatey taste, is cheaper and lower in fat too. Get it raw off of sunfoods- its pretty darn awesome. Makes spectacular brownies too…
