• I also have found that my weight is not going down. I agree with BeTheChange – regarding consumption vs work. For me, I’m fairly sure that I need to up the exercise. I work a desk job so although I eat mostly raw and try to be somewhat conscious of …

• I would be very interested also. I have 2 apple trees. Last year (first summer in new house) I didn’t do anything and the beasties had a nice time. This year, I would like to make an effort and see what happens. I have heard that spraying the trees …

• I also believe that slow is fine. There are a number of factors that are transitioning…..what you eat, how you prepare it, social eating, budget, detoxing side effects, etc, etc…. I think that it is being kinder to yourself to go a little bit slow. …

• Thanks for all of the great feedback. Humanimal, I would love some more information about the herbal decoction teas. If you don’t mind, would you be able to email me (karuna.424@gmail.com) – or if you’re not comfortable with that, could you post the…

• Thanks everyone. I will persevere. I think that dehydrator needs to come sooner rather than later. :)

• Welcome to the great white north. I’m in Southern Ontario – so by Canadian standards, we’re practically neighbours. :) Good luck finding your resources.

• You need to grind the chia seeds before adding liquid?

• Day 2 – same as Day 1 without the peanut butter and crackers. So far, so good – it’s nearly 7:00 so I think I might make it. I am all prepared with the avocado, tomatoes and bananas if things get tense later on. :)

• Had to give in to some peanut butter and crackers – just couldn’t say no. Other than that, had a fairly successful day. Day 2 – plan is similar to yesterday. I am going to try a smoothie, a banana and an avocado for dinner when I get home – see if t…

• Day one – so far, so good. I was up early – worked out – had a green smoothie (spinach, banana, cacao nibs, black sesame seeds, maca powder and dates)- went to work. I am a grazer throughout the day so all together while at work I had an orange, an …

• I will take that challenge. I do really well throughout the day but tend to fall off the wagon when I get home after work. So, my percentage is going up to 100% if I can manage the evenings. Two weeks? I can do it. Thanks for the invite. My plan is …

• Roman – that foot gear is perfect. I prefer men’s shoes. Women’s shoes are too narrow and not deep enough. I am going to get these tomorrow. They will be perfect for hiking and the price is right too. Thanks.

• I would go to your doctor. It’s important to know exactly what’s going on from a professional. Obviously, a naturopathic or holistic doctor would be best – they will better understand what you are working to accomplish with the raw lifestyle. Good l…

• I would say “pick your battles”. You will be thankful for a decent blender – you just can’t make a good smoothie without it. The Vitamix is the superstar but my Cuisinart does the job and cost 1/3 of the price. I purchased a medium grade juicer and …

• This lifestyle is definitely more work than a SAD lifestyle. I believe that you need to give it a bit of time to see if it’s worth it. I was very excited about it at the beginning so completely motivated to put in the extra time and effort. Then I b…

• I picked up a stainless steel water bottle from the health food store with a screw on lid. I love it – pack it with a couple of mini ice packs and a straw and I have a perfect cold smoothie for lunchtime. I also don’t worry about it breaking.

• I have purchased 2. The first one was about $30 from Walmart and the springs broke within a couple of months. Msrawdiva, don’t worry, Walmart will replace it for you, I’m sure. The second one I bought from a sports store, brand name Weider, no handl…

• For those who follow the raw diet it is not uncommon to miss one or several periods. A common belief is that a period is the bodies way of getting rid of toxins. Following that logic, the less toxins you have in your body, the less you would need a …

• Lots of greens (especially spinach), lots of fruits (especially bananas), some seeds and nuts, a bit of oil and vinegar for the salads, dates, figs and yacon syrup for sweet. Occasionally a raw snack bar from the health food store but they’re expens…

• Alright, alright – I will try them again. It sounds like a bit of lemon and salt and maybe a few tomatoes will go well. I don’t go crazy for them – they are ok but I find them a bit bland. Now, I did make some avocado mayo that was fantastic. Also, …
