• I think people who want to gain weight do a lot of weight training. At least the men I have heard of do. It makes sense, the improved muscle tone will make you look less skinny, but I guess you’d have to make sure you were eating enough to keep your…

• ask a shop assisstant when they reduce things, normally it is the same time every day, then you can get some real bargains. Don’t get hung up on wanting just one thing…grapes are expensive, but bananas are cheap and lovely dehydrated. As are apples.

• Hi, nice to meet you here! I found that at the beginning I was worried about people’s reaction to my rawness, but as I got more confident with it, my worries went away, and my being raw isn’t an issue for me and so it isn’t an issue for anyone else.…

• I mash up the bone by first cutting the meat off it, then I put it in a plastic bag (sorry environment!) and hammer it to pieces with a hammer! But chicken bones are very soft you could just cut them up with a pair of kitchen scissors.

• In general you can use avocado as a nut substitute in cakes and puddings, and banana in milks, dressings and creams. But you know, nuts taste a lot different when they are soaked. Check out The Dead Food List to make sure the nuts you eat really are…

• Another nice idea is to make stir fry, just chop the veggies you’d normally find in a stir fry and put it in the dehydrator to soften and warm. You can make stews this way too. I also love 1/2 way dehydrated pineapple and tomatoes, delish ;)
