• Has anyone else found that when it’s your regular time, you crave certain foods, and as soon as you eat them, you BOOM get your period??? I am just fascnated by the fast that, althought I get my periods about once every 45-60 days, I never CRAVE avo…

• I’ve done it! I’ve gone a whole week without coffee! And I realized that I am good enough in my barista skills that I do fine without tasting things, and can actually judge things by smell. My skin is clearer, my eyes brighter, and my energy even hi…

• So I’ve been limiting myself to just one 4 oz serving a day, combined with a daily green drink, and it is working miracles!!! I have everyone who replied to my woes at the beginning of this posting to thank, and today, I had only a sip or two of cof…

  in coffee withdrawl! Comment by BeTheChange
• Hey everyone, so I just came back from work, and maybe it’s partly a mental thing as well as a physical one, but I had a green smoothie first thing (before I had been having a green drink about halfway through the morning, ususally after a few sips …

• And yes, coffee is definately harder to get off of than nonraw food. It’s so crazy!

  in coffee withdrawl! Comment by BeTheChange
• Thanks everyone! You all have basically brought up a great point about joy in moderation. After writing this post earlier, while I was at work today I had the equivalent of about 4 oz of coffee drinks. I poured a bit of what I was making into a litt…

• mmmmmm I was a sucker for pineapple shakes in Thailand hardcore. pineapple has never tasted the same—or bananas for that matter—ever since I enjoyed them in Thailand!

• Also, kudos for making sure your daughter travels as much as possible. I grew up the daughter of a lawyer involved with the UN, and trust me, I have been around. I credit absolutely everything of who I am and what I know (and don’t know) to my exper…

• Alix1962, you should watch the documentary called “The Business of Being Born”. It is about how doctors treat childbirth and pregnancy and babies like objects and not real beings of our Planet. Very interesting, very shameful, VERY disturbing. “whor…

  in Soy Controversy Comment by BeTheChange
• Yeah, the onslaught of soy in our culture is really frightening… When I was making my original transition to raw, I was having this craving for protein (I was one of the vegans that was eating soy for half of my daily protein, at least). I had a blo…

• today IS a brand new day! Thanks for reminding me! Anyways, ditto that on what everyone else is suggesting about eating more greens. Also, be sure you are staying hydrated! I live a pretty simple life in terms of raw food because I have VERY little …

  in Dr. Bronners Comment by BeTheChange
• I find that if I eat some avocado after my heart rate is back to resting after working out, I get a sudden burst of energy all over again, because everything in it is going to use! The protein, while not an immense amount, starts building in your mu…

• SophiaRose, I hate to sound like a nag, but are you getting aerobic exercise? I read on your profile that you are teaching yoga, but what else are you doing to stay active? The basics are this: if you do not work off more than you consume, you will …

  in Weight Loss Comment by BeTheChange
• I find that 1-2 TB of the stuff midday, a little after lunch, helps my food digest very well and it gives you a perk of energy that is quite delightful

• ACV is absolutely incredible when it comes to battling illness. In the winter, I was fighting a sore throat for a few days, and I ate cantaloupe and ACV for just 36 hours and it completely cleared up. I started giving ito to all of my friends, and e…

• I find that avocados and cashews and olives, really any healthy fats, give me that glow, as long as I don’t overdo it! They make my body feel so alive! Also, when I’m pre-period, I find that my whole body feels exuberant and glowing :)

  in Any tips for overcoming habit of eating late and/or overeating?? Comment by BeTheChange
• One of the reasons I realized I was overeating during my transition to raw foods was because of a lack of direct sunlight. I live in St. Louis, and in the winter, it SUCKS! I am a warm-weather addict by heart, and only live here because of school…I …

• OH MY GOODNESS YOU ALL ARE LIFESAVERS! I was 100% raw for two months this past summer, and then succumbed and have been about 75% raw since September, but way overeating and trying to find the balance, etc. But with spring here again and abundant su…

• What are everyone’s feeling about raw bars? like rawpower, larabars, etc? I’ve found that while these are wasteful in packaging, they are a great last resort for dayhikes and short weekend trips that I can pick up at the store on the way out.
