• i pack my 32 oz smoothies, blended salads, and smoothie in 1 Liter mason jars. I order them from Amazon.com – i use the leifheiz ones. They are awesome, they last forever, don’t leak, can go in dishwasher but are easy to wash by hand, and there’s no…

• I shop at a little market in San Francisco where most of the (amazingly overpriced) produce is organic. A lot of people who shop there know their stuff, but my cart still gets comments every single time. Generally, people want to know what I”m doing…

• Joyce, my boyfriend finally made it to bikram with me for the first time last night. Like you, i was really surprised and proud of him! he’s an athletic guy – but it’s mostly windsurfing, which is a pretty stiff sport. he didn’t do everything – i sa…

• mazel tov on the full camel, Joyce! ;) and wow, lalala, that sounds like a lot. but i think we’re all usually the best judge of what we can handle. i’ve done a couple of bikram ‘doubles’ the past week – which my boyfriend thinks is way too much, but…

• Raw Chocoholic – In my experience, you will see results very quickly doing it 5 days a week. By the end of next week, you might see some real changes. Of course, it all depends on what your body looks like now and how quickly your body tends to make…

• Mandy, I just got totally lost in reading your blog. Sadly, I need to get some work done. ;) It’s funny reading someone else’s tale of going raw in San Francisco. I had quite a few lunches from the Alive farmers’ market cart myself! I decided after …

• Joyce, do you have favorite postures? I love standing bow pose – I feel such a ridiculous sense of accomplisment when I get my leg up higher than before and when I can stay in the posture the entire time. I’m also always amazed at how camel makes me…

• you have a sauna at home? can i come over?? i think it would definitely work to do what you say. also, bikram has a book showing all of the postures that you can buy and do at home. the postures are relatively simple, though i think you’d benefit fr…

• I do Bikram in San Francisco, and I love it beyond words. I used to practice about a year and a half ago, but I stopped for quite a while. I just started again two weeks ago and have been going almost every day (I missed this weekend and tonight). I…

• Damn! Guess i need to stop popping them open, dipping them in olive oil and s&p, and eating the entire can in one sitting… on a healthier front, i’ve also been craving and indulging in watercress salads (usually watercress, some lemon, olive oil…

• Ok – I just went from headache to nausea, and I threw up in my office. I can’t work like this – am probably going to go get a salad. this might just be too much for my system with the ulcerative colitis.

• Thanks for the tips, Kristy! Day 3 is feeling ok so far – last night I was craving kale so badly that I vowed to get a kale salad for lunch today, but now I’m feeling a little stronger. I have not been doing the salt water flush because I just can’t…

• Great, Dain! I read some stuff this morning that freaked me out a bit. People said the detox can cause cold sores. I’ve only had one cold sore in my life and really really do not want another one. Do you know anything about this? I’m suddenly feelin…

• You ready, girl? ;) I had a bunch of leftover celery, cucumber, and apples, so I have two liters of juice made from those three ingredients, plus 6 cups of the lemonade mixture for tomorrow. It made more sense to segue into the lemonade that way rat…

• Is there an effective raw alternative to the maple syrup? Or do a lot of raw foodies find the maple to be acceptable for this purpose?

• Yes, Evil Dark Virus! I will join you! I’ve been doing primarily green smoothies and fresh juices since being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a couple of weeks ago. Someone else on the forum just recommended that I do the master cleanse. I always …

• thanks, Shortcake! (I can smell your strawberry hair from here :) I am an Ayn Rand fan. Good catch on the name. I didn’t know they take out children’s gallbladders so freely! That sounds awfully drastic.

• I’m a big fan of my Blendtec, though I have never used the VitaMix. I make 4 liters of green smoothies a day, and it works great. It is a bit tempting to learn, however, that I would not have to chop up apples and things with Vita. Has anyone purcha…

• It sounds like your body/mind has made an association between your trip home from work and danger – and the shorter the trip, the greater the danger. I don’t know how superstitious you are, or how much of a ‘mind of matter’ person you are, so it’s h…

• I think you should grab the deal and save your money for the move, JKD. You need to control your on/off switch for working – maybe when you leave work, make it a point to go for a walk to the store or run some other light errand before returning hom…

• Nuttgirl – I was ready to throw in the towel the day i woke up with a rash all over my forehead. it took about 4 or 5 days to go away, and that’s the last skin sign of detox i’ve had. Try to embrace the crap that is happening to you as a sign that y…
