• mango woman i agree about the driving! i meant travelling in a car for a long distance when somebody elese is driving LOL! (i don’t drive yet, but i imagine driving a car for a long period of time on an empty stomach isn’t safe)

• When I travel by plane, train, car etc., especially when i’m sitting for an extended period of time, i don’t eat anything, but simply buy a BIG (1.5 litre or so) bottle of water on the plane and drink it. i figure my body is under enough stress bein…

  in cashews...urrgh Comment by elizabethh
• thanks all, this makes sense, especially what 123 said about cashews containing a skin irritant, because i broke out in a light rash on my arms soon after eating. the concept of inadvertently creating a combination or eating something that just isn…

• I’ve actually cut my kitchen time at least in half by going raw, since most of my meals are very simple, and on a daily basis the most complicated thing I’ll do is throw stuff into a blender or food processor. my biggest challenge must have been th…

• Weird story actually…I remember I just started reading about it and then went 100% raw overnight. The weird thing is most people remember very clearly their transition, but I honestly don’t have any memory of the day I actually decided to go 100% ra…

• chop up a bunch of cauliflower into popcorn sized pieces, and put in a tablespoon of olive oil and a teaspooon or so of nutritional yeast. DELICIOUS!!! btw make sure you wash your cauliflower well!

• The best way to keep warm in the winter is to get your circulation going: exercise. Its a known fact that people who exercise more generally feel warmer and are more temperature resistant than those who don’t, because being fit increases your metabo…

  in raw home remedies Comment by elizabethh
• heyyy all those interested, i made mine with parsnip and a few teaspoons of pine nuts. it was actually very nice, but a tad bitter, so i think that it would be even better mixed with cauliflower.

• NEVER exercise right after you eat. The capillary beds around your digestive system are open when you eat, and your body needs to concentrate its blood and energy there to properly assimilate everything you’ve taken in. If you exercise you force you…

  in Do any of you feed your dogs 100% raw food? Comment by elizabethh
• I don’t mean this in a judgemental way, but dogs evolved from wolves, and though their appearance has changed, their digestive system hasn’t. Dogs are natural carnivores, so I would think it necessary to feed a dog animal products. It would be good …

• generally the rules are as follows: eat acidic foods like oranges and lemons on their own. don’t eat fruit after a meal, becase fruit digests very quickly in comparison to other foods and will literally “sit on top” of your previous meal and go ra…

  in 25% Cooked! Comment by elizabethh
• I think it depends on who you are, what your lifestyle is, etc. I’m a maximalist with my health so its 100% or 2% with me, hence I choose the 100% route, besides the VERY occasional trip to the raw restaurant which usually entails some form of non-r…

• I’d like to see some conclusive research on this topic. 123- thats a good point, I wonder how toxic these things are to humans, as opposed to bugs. Cooking foods forms toxins and carcinogens, so what would be the most toxic? Cooked or raw sprouts? …

• hey, try not to get yourself too worked up about it. i’m all for 100% raw if you can do it, but if you indluge (as i do) in cashews, oat groats, nama shoyu, and nori on occasion, you’re doing like a thousand percent better than most people out there…
