• you know, if you just keep going eating and drinking as much raw food and greens as you can your addictions will fall away in time. Your body will wake up and start to crave the raw foods and the addictions won’t seem as appetizing and it will be ea…

• bananas are really good in sauces instead of nuts. You really can’t taste any banana it is just thick and creamy and lovely.

• The dentist told me that when you don’t keep your mouth clean, you get a build up of bacteria which create toxins that you swallow all day, and that this can be a contributing factor in heart disease!

• I use “Good Oil” brand hemp oil. I rang them and they told me/promised me that it had never been heated. It is £5.99 for 500 ml from Tescos. I get coconut butter from my local health food shop. There are many brands that are raw that are sold in mos…

• I hope those guys who hand shell them for Sunfood Nutrition wear gloves! Kevyn, the oil from Sainsbury’s is raw, coconut butter is usually raw if you are buying good quality. I don’t put them in the fridge. The pine nuts, hazelnuts and walnuts aren’…

• They’re not raw, so that is why you are having problems with them. Most nuts aren’t raw. Check out our Dead Food List for more on what is raw and what is not. I always feel like a porty pooper when I recommend out Dead Food List, but hey, knowledge …

• try a big green smoothie every day before you drink your coffee. Green smoothies are usually 60% greens (spinach is good) and 40% fruit (all juice in bottles is not raw, use fresh whole fruit or home juiced fruit) . They are great because they balan…

• I love hearing about people who jump on and off the wagon over a few years because everyone always seems to find their way back to raw. Once you ‘get it’ and try it, I really don’t think there is any going back, even if you yo-yo for years. Good Luc…

• have you tried the wholesale fruit and veg market? I live in the UK s it is probably different, but ask any fruit and veg shop/stall where they go to buy their stock. There is one in every big town here and the savings are amazing. You don’t have to…

• make sure carob is raw and says it is on the package. Most carob is cooked and tastes awful. Really raw carob is a totally different thing, it tastes lovely. If you like me have always hated the taste of carob, just try it really raw, you’ll be amaz…

• I use sprouted sunflower seeds with coconut oil/butter and /or hemp oil instead of nuts in recipes that call for nuts. I think it is a lovely mix for making things heavy and creamy.

• On the website I run with my husband we have a list of what is not raw because we were so frustrated when we first went raw and slowly realised that most raw recipe books aren’t really that raw at all! Check it out here: The Dead Food List

• Have lots of green smoothies, eating greens, especially when they’re in liquid form really helps you to balance and feel OK. You will feel better raw than you did when cooked, honest! Just keep going :)

• Vitamins become unusable when they are heated, so when you eat raw you are getting all of your vitamins and you shouldn’t need to supplement. The only possible exceptiona are B12 which is a hotly debated topic in the raw community, and Vitamin D whi…

• To make your own just soak some nuts or seeds, blend in your blender with water, a couple of dates and a pinch of salt and a couple of drops of lemon juice. If you like you can squeeze it through an old pair of tights or a nut milk bag, but I never …

• I don’t worry about food combining and I haven’t ever done it on purpose. Just going raw alone is a big deal, and for me it was/is important that it is pleasurable for me. If I transitioned without eating raw pizza, raw cakes etc then I wouldn’t hav…
