• I’m taking history at Queen’s, and I work for the school newspaper. I had an interview with the VP of research today and one tomorrow with an engineering prof- I went in today having almost NO idea what his job even was, so it was a rough interview …

• I had no idea you were doing an MC! 40 days is intense! I’m only on day 2 and I’m so hungry I want to drink my can of maple syrup!!! I think the freshness of the cayenne really matters- the cayenne I have at school is HOT, but the cayenne I use at h…

• Just drink more lemonade! Try some tea if you’re still hungry. Try having a hot bath… Just do sometime to keep your mind off food! I totally know where you’re coming from- I was just in class and the people beside me were sharing a bag of candy… I d…

• Hey sgmom2! I’ve actually been posting on the other MC thread, but I’ll make sure to let you know how I’m doing, too. Yesterday was good… the hunger pangs weren’t too bad. I really don’t care for the maple flavour though, so I may switch to agave. D…

• Good morning everyone! This is day 1 of 14 for me. I just had my first lemonade! I drank it cold, but I think I’ll try my next one hot. I know what you mean about having to watch what you read kminty3! I’ve been reading raw blogs all morning and the…

• I made Ray’s Buckwheat Pizza Crust last night, and it turned out great. I kept it in overnight (about 7 hours), and cut it into squares this morning (personal pan pizzas =P). Then I put the squares in for 20 mins longer. A few days ago I made carrot…

• Some ovens go as low as 115F… Mine does not lol So, what I do is set it as low as it will go (145F) and kind of keep the door propped open by sticking oven mits at the nop near the handle. It seems to work pretty well. Hope this helps!

• pundee- you usually won’t find whole leaf tea in a grocery store. i get mine either from the natural food store or this place called “the tea store” (i’m in ontario). it all depends where you are… but you’ll usually have to go to a specialty shop to…

  in Who still drinks tea??? Comment by kathrynintheraw
• Does anyone know what’s supposed to be “wrong” with tea (other than the obvious non-raw thing)... All I’ve ever heard about are the health benefits of tea. The caffeine in yerba mate is even supposed to be different than the caffeine from Coke or co…

  in Who still drinks tea??? Comment by kathrynintheraw
• I LOVE tea, and I really don’t see how it can be bad… My favs are yerba mate, herbals (apple or ginger), and senna tea (really helps when the pipes get…er, clogged)! If you’re buying bags, make sure to read the ingredients; some companies put in soy…

• Try goji berries, hemp seeds and/or spirulina. I don’t really like the taste of spirulina, but if you mix it into a smoothie, it’ barely noticeable. As for the other two… I love hemp seeds on my salad and I’m always snacking on the berries. Both are…

• I’ve pretty much accepted that almost everyone had a disordered relationship with food to some degree. (And if you don’t then I sincerely applaud you.) I think its part of SAD culture. People are eating things they KNOW are horrible for them, so I t…

• While we’re on the subject of “failing”/”cheating”, I had a bit of a cheat meal for dinner… and 30 minute later it’s gone right through me! My digestive system Never used to work this fast! I’m actually pretty bloated and feeling reallllly uncomfort…

  in do you have raw food staples Comment by kathrynintheraw
• No no… i didn’t mean you, rawrach lol Alix1962 just hit a soft spot by asking me what I expected to hear. It seems like (at least where I live) that it’s ok to be proud of eating meat, but absolutely not OK to be proud of being vegan.

  in Why I am vegan... Comment by kathrynintheraw
• Who said I was being condescending about it? Alix1962, you don’t even know the context… I was studying with a group of people (obv. not doing all THAT much studying if I was websurfing), and they wanted to know why I had such a shocked look on my fa…

• I sent the link to a few people who flat out refused to watch it because they didn’t want to feel bad about loving meat. Another watched it and said, “Well I guess they might want to start using painkillers ahahahahahhaha.” I was less than impressed…

• There’s a great recipe on this site for bruschetta on mushroom tops. I’m sure you could alter the bruschetta recipe to seem more like a pizza sauce.

• truly raw cashews are pretty hard to come by. they have to be opened by hand by the manufacturers (instead of using heat). i’ve come across some “raw” cashews before, and after asking a few questions, found out they were far from it. the purple dots…

• My advice is: Don’t eat it if you don’t love it! There’s no point in forcefeeding yourself a food if you don’t enjoy it 100%! As long as the alternative is healthy and raw, just set the zucchini aside and grab something YOU think is yummy. Just this…

• suvine- were you 100% fruit? or a small amount of greens and nuts as well? did you mono-eat? no protein, B12 deficiency??? sorry for all the questions… i’m just very interested in learning about successful fruitarians.

  in FRUITARIAN!!!! Comment by kathrynintheraw
• Does anyone know of a kind of fruit chart that lists sugar, protein, fiber and vitamin contents of common fruit? I can’t find one that lists all of them. I started making one, but I’d really rather not have to take all that time lol

  in FRUITARIAN!!!! Comment by kathrynintheraw
• Basically, I try to eat as much fruit as possible (including fruit-like vegetables, like cucumbers, tomatoes and bell peppers). I try to keep my food as simple as possible. Last night, for the first time, I felt overloaded on sugar, so I had a few o…

  in FRUITARIAN!!!! Comment by kathrynintheraw
• I’m actually trying fruitarianism right now. I’m finding mono-eating really hard, so to ease in, I make alot of green smoothies for mid-day boosts. While I was on a SAD, I had an insatiable sweet-tooth, so this diet really satisfies me. Although, to…
