• I think there’s a bit of a misconception about the whole “good cholesterol bad cholesterol”, from what I gather. What I learned in biology in school was: HDL and LDL aren’t actual fatty acids but actually enzymes (I believe that’s what they are) and…

• You can always counterbalance something very high glycemic with something like greens or fat to slow down the absorption of sugar, if it’s a problem. I used to choose mostly fat but it’s a poor combination, I prefer to use greens. Bananas are really…

• Watch out what you tone down there, heh, if you cut back on fats AND sugars, you’ll be left very hungry… First thing first, remember what Zoe said? You don’t know what you cholesterol used to be, so you don’t know if it went up or down! You just nee…

• Whoa your blood pressure is low. Is it actually normal? I’m not too sure… And if you consume a “good amount” of oils (which for all I know isn’t much at all), it may be a culprit. You might want to take it down a notch, just to be on the safe side.

• Your cholesterol isn’t raised from eating cholesterol. It doesn’t matter if you actually eat cholesterol or not. And from what I gathered, excess fat of any kind will eventually raise your overall cholesterol. I’m not saying eat as little fat as pos…

  in Extremely High Cholesterol :( Comment by Morning_theft
• Everything Tripoli just said, plus- do you monitor your fat levels? If you’re eating too much fat, even good fat, it would raise both kinds of cholesterol (though HDL moreso with raw unsaturated fat) even if it’s genetic, there’s still hope, so worr…

• Hehe, I get that problem with my pathetic little blender many times… When you’re blending dates, you’re better off to either: a. blend them dry, on their own, until their chopped up nicely and then add the water or b. soak them in the water for a li…

• Did you mean me or Zoe? I haven’t tried this recipe yet because just seeing it, it didn’t look raw to me and I didn’t wanna even try. BUT the batter will probably be pretty runny, they say to pour it on the sheets, and use a spoon to make circles or…

• Thank you Zoe, I’ll try doing that, and use flax instead of psyllium (it’s what I have at the moment anyway).

• They also said that it doesn’t taste right unless you use frozen corn, which is why I would like to challenge it.

• I like what Zoe said, “We are what we think”... It’s actually a really good point you have there. I have been trying to gain some of the weight I lost back for a while now, and haven’t been able to go over 102lbs at any point… But… Did I really want…

  in Maintaining a healthy weight Comment by Morning_theft
• Are you positive you’re eating enough? You may not be getting enough calories. Also, are you getting any exercise? Make sure you’re still maintaining your muscle and even building more. I guess that would go more for your boyfriend- since he’s been …

  in Maintaining a healthy weight Comment by Morning_theft
• Hey, for all you know, you lost some weight and gained it back, you lost some water and retained some, you lost some fat and built some new muscle. The actual number doesn’t mean much. Do you feel better? Do you feel like you look better? Does anyth…

• I agree with Chris, but make sure that you’re not mindlessly starving yourself! If you don’t always make sure that your body gets whatever it asks for (within reason, chips aren’t an acceptable request, heh) and that you feel ok and not deprived. I …

  in Skinny but losing weight after going raw Comment by Morning_theft
• I have been losing a little weight since going raw as well, even though I wanted to possibly gain a little bit… But I think trying to gain it by eating a lot of fat can’t be very good for you. I’ve been trying to eat more calories and it just makes …

• So maybe consider mono-eating as a cleanse? That can be very good as well. You can try juice fasting on orange juice for a week or so. No irritants like cayenne and no cooked maple syrup.

  in I'm confused - what's raw? Comment by Morning_theft
• But isn’t the reason maple syrup is chosen for the Master Cleanser (specifically, grade B) is because it has more minerals in it? Dates are relatively low in minerals… Also, cayenne pepper would be most likely unraw as well, no? I think Master clean…

• I’ve only been raw for little over a month as well… I’m terrified of what will happen in the winter! I can barely keep warm as is, considering I’m not originally from around here (I’m from the middle east… definitely not this cold) I think I’d have …

• Avocados are sooo good for smoothies! Sometimes I will blend up: 1 date, 2 bananas (frozen if I can, it is summer now after all…) and 1/2 an avocado with a handful of spinach or whatever I have, and sometimes a scoop of cacao (but if you’re not into…

  in Raw Diet in a Temperate Climate Comment by Morning_theft
• I don’t think those things used to be raw… It wouldn’t make sense, the reason cooked food like that (pies, noodles) became popular is because grains became common with agriculture. They were cheap and filling, good for the peasants. I don’t know if …
