• I think that when I was starting out I was eating maybe 4 or 5 times what you are! But that shouldn’t make any difference to you, because you it is good to listen to your own body, and eat what and when your body tells you to. You list just plain fr…

• Your body is busy healing itself whilst you’re asleep, I would think that over time as it finished up it’s cleaning out job you’ll find yourself needing less sleep. I know for me that it wasn’t until I got to the end of year 2 into the beginning of …

• Kandace and Ray are doing major updates so maybe that’s why things are a little weird? Try next week maybe it will have sorted itself out by then.

• I have a problem with cacao. It isn’t really raw IMHO. It can have a really harsh reaction in some people. And the goji’s, since they got popular there are some really low quality ones out there, maybe you got a bad batch. I was advised by those who…

• Whatever you eat, try not to beat yourself up over it. Whilst transitioning I yo yo’d and beat myself up over it at first, which made me eat more and more cooked coz I felt the need to comfort myself as I was telling myself I was being such an idiot…

• Yes she is brilliant and seems to be overlooked in the face of more current and glam raw gurus! I read her autobiography it was so interesting and inspirational.

• I would really recommend you get a dehydrator. It will prove it’s worth time and time again. It makes it cheaper to be raw, and easier. The dry foods like bread, crackers and wraps really help to fill in the gaps. If you can’t get hold of one then y…

• I want to walk barefoot in the red leaves. Loving the clarity of the air right now. And the farmers have stopped muck spreading so now I can breathe outdoors, and open the windows without gagging! Goodness I hope it isn’t human sewage they put on th…

  in I need more calories and protein!! Comment by Zoe
• Hi Angie, I got that information about protein from the DVD “Eating”, all the Doctors’ claims about protein are well referenced on their website. http://www.ravediet.com/

  in I need more calories and protein!! Comment by Zoe
• Maybe you could read the book The China Study, it sums up the protein myth. To sum up…There has never been a case of protein deficiency in medical history. Everything you eat has protein in it. The issue for most is too much protein not too little. …

• I was also remembering how I used to always have a pot belly. It just would not go away, and that is something I haven’t seen any sign of in the last few years!

• Hi Chicory! Yup I had the strange ‘chest size going up’ thing too. I expected them to totally disappear, especially as I am a few dress sizes smaller now. I am now buying bras to fit that are 2 sizes bigger than when I was SAD. Who knew??!! Yay for …

• isn’t it illegal to wrongly label food? Trading Standards Authority anyone???

  in Please read this article about raw nuts! Comment by Zoe
• It isn’t legal in the USA though is it? Maybe in California. I know Kate Wood was deported for amongst other things having raw chocs with hemp seeds in them! It is all legal here in the UK. You know, even though smoking weed is illegal people walk a…

  in Is this true???!!! Comment by Zoe
• ASDA do a glass jug blender for £19. We’ve got one. ASDA is owned by Walmart, maybe they sell the same type in the USA too?

  in Non-plastic blenders? Comment by Zoe
• I tried one that hadn’t gone soft yet. It was still hard not squishy. It was like sugar cane but with out the wood. I think it would be amazing juiced. They sell them hard and yellow in the Indian shops.

  in I don't think I like dates...am I out of the club? Comment by Zoe
• I use fresh dates as my sweetner, but I would not enjoy eating one on its own. It is true, the ones you see normally are gross. They have been steamed, boiled, blanched, dried, and often covered with gak (vegetable oil, glaze, etc) The fresh ones we…

• Yes if you are sick of everything a fast would be a good idea. I have fasted one day a week for a while to balance myself.

  in Why do I all of a sudden have a loss of interest in Veggies?? Comment by Zoe
• Your body naturally wants different things at different stages. I started off eating loads of recipes, nuts and fats. Then I ate just green salads, then I juiced a lot, then I ate loads of fruit. Then back to greens…. I have found that it is best to…

• I have never heard of the condition your girlfriend has, but I do know that eating raw will help her. When you stop eating the things that drain the body, and start eating more of the things that support it, the body gets to a new level of overall h…

• Don’t want to scare you, but a few months ago I got some pain in my back jaw, I have a wisdom tooth about 2/3 hidden back there. I thought it was just coming up so ignored it. The pain got really bad, I couldn’t swallow or move my jaw, and we ended …

• I just realised that I still eat coconut oil and that is a nut, even though I think of myself as nut free. I never ‘see’ it as a nut though! It doesn’t have a bad effect on me like other nuts can though, maybe because it is in oil form.

  in Being Raw without the Nuts Comment by Zoe
• Me and Chris don’t use nuts. We quit them about 3 months ago. Most nuts aren’t raw, and we have found that the recipes we always make and Love taste better when we leave the nuts out, or substitute them. We use coconut butter/oil, sprouted sunflower…

• my husband just uses lemon rinds and a squeeze of washing up liquid in his laundry. We do our laundry separate because I don’t like to get lemon bits all over my clothes ;) I like the soap nuts + Lavender essential oil for the nice smell.

• u know u are a raw vegan when.... you dance all night and then when you get home you sniff your clothes just for the amazement at dancing all night with no deodorant and not smelling !!

  in You know you're a raw foodist when... Comment by Zoe
• you can make pate, cheese, soups, ‘stews’, any recipe that ‘chews’ up your food for you in the food processor or blended. So that means just about any raw recipe! But I guess you need to ease into salads and take your time with those as they’f be ha…
