  • and coffeeooooohhhhhhhhh coffeeI am in a rush, but I will be back to share some experiences! I am a full time barista! There are a few good forums on this topic, too.
  • Hm, since when you give in to non-raw foods, you give in to cake and chocolate and such, I would suggest perhaps going vegan completely and then raw? That way, you will first fend off the cravings for a lot of SAD things, and then you will have a mu…
  • Thailand. Raw. Easy. Done. Perfect. You will be fine! I lived there for a school for a while, and I was basically a raw foodie without even realizing it…and about the not eating raw food in other countries? Just use your common sense! If there are f…
  • food with a cowboy hat on top or a lasso around it!
  • Ya, I agree with what everyone else is saying. Fresh fruits are definately better. Also, because dried fruits are so concentrated in size, I forget just how many grapes that, say, 2 handfulls of raisins actually is! Or that a handful of dried aprico…

  • I don’t have time to look at these articles right now, but I completely agree that our food is far less nutritious. I mean, we did not use chemical pesticides until about 60 years ago! And, while they cooked everything, portion sizes were MUCH small…
  • That’s an interesting point about the olive oil as a “soap”. I had forgotten that the Greeks did just this for their whole bodies! It’s funny how easy it is for the good, traditional, tried-and-true remedies to be lost due to the need for a better m…
  • can you fill me in about phosphorous? I don’t know anything about it…

  • RawK! I just learned how to make kimchee last week! I don’t have the recipe with me on hand right now, but a fantastic book to invest in if you want to get into fermenting foods is this: http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Fermentation-Flavor-...=sr_1_5?ie=U…

  • I know what you mean, Khaas! FOr as long as I can remember, I’ve been going through a jar a week of peanut butter (especially when I was dirtpoor in the first two years of college and it was the basis of my diet…) But when I eat raw, I hardly crave …

  • ok. Honestly, it sounds like you know what you want to do, but that you’re dealing with the mental transition to a raw lifestyle, which can be kind of hard. It CAN be frustrating, because every trip to the supermarket after living raw for a bit can …
  • sweet! This is all very helpful, I will pass the info along, thanks as always guys. Do you ever wonder who the first person was to decide and try putting grape seed extract onto their nails to see if it makes their fungus disappear? hehe, sometimes …
  • Buy David Wolfe’s Sunfood Diet Success System, if you haven’t already. It includes a really informative chapter on balancing one’s diet for both weight gain and weight loss.
  • do you find the coconut’s an aphrodisiac? I have a friend that swares by it!

  • As soon as I went raw, I realized how conventional and NOT NORMAL it is to only have one BM a day! I go at least twice a day, as my body is constantly using and refusing exactly what is needs and does not need. When I was eating only apples for thre…
  • ugh, I know how this feels. My colon hydrotherapist, with whom I have a great relationship, does sooo not approve of eating raw vegan, she just doesn’t believe in it and won’t give it a chance. I don’t even try to convince her! She is of the populat…
  • dude, so I went to the grocery store today and munched on a handful of mixed nuts for the first time in a couple weeks, and IMMEDIATELY my nose started running! crazy! It’s amazing how our bodies react, just like gorawmom’s son to those cashews. I w…
  • I have a couple discussion questions for everyone. I have my own input and my own experiences, but I’d rather hear some answers to these. I think it’s healthy to discuss these issues on an objective, inquisitive level as well as a personal one, you …
  • Sharkbite—where are you studying? what school?
    in Thailand Comment by BeTheChange
  • ohhhh MAN rawkidchef! EVERYTHING! pineapple, mangos, mangosteens, durians, lychee, pears, coconuts, the best non-hybrid true-to-size and full of glorious seeds BANANAS (i lived on bananas for 3 whole days once when I was low on money!), the sweetest…
    in Thailand Comment by BeTheChange
  • Ya, I lived in Thailand for a while, but south in HuaHin where I went to school, not way up north there in Chiang Mai. However, wherever you go, you will have an abundance of access to fresh fruit in various forms. Unfortunately it is all more expen…

  • thanks, i will pass the info along!
  • gazpacho is a good one, spring rolls (if you cheat and use rice paper, they are really impressive but super easy, if not use romaine leaves, but SADs are skeptical of this…), olive tapenades, fruit parfaits (I would have to find a raw pudding websit…
  • That raw ratatouille posted on this site could be a great side dish…now you’ve got me thinking, I’ll get back to you. You raise a good idea for me, too! My carnivorous sister and her sodapizzahusband are getting married in September, and since movin…
  • kevin—I buy leafy greens on basically a daily basis! I learned the hard way very quickly that they just do not last long!
    in Grocery Bill!! Comment by BeTheChange
  • I often get made fun of for this, but…I don’t use a fridge. It has cut my energy bill to virtually nothing because I have an old one that came with my old-ass apartment, but it also helps me live more simply, and I love it! We put so many things in …

  • ok! So, I completed a 6-day cleanse with mono on the mind! I started out eating apples for two days, and then felt too imbalanced, so I had a lettuceleaf salad for one sitting and apples for the other. I feel pretty amazing and it really kickstarted…
  • hm, good idea! I’ll check right now….
  • Oh, and you should consider getting a colonic at the beginning of it to help kickstart things. They’re well worth the money, and if you have never done one, do it with this cleanse and you will reap amazing benefits!
