• i eat very lightly in the morning (green smoothie and fruit), but i work hard for it doing intense yoga first thing. i think its fine as long as you sweat for it.

• on a nutritional level, id look over what you’re eating and make sure you cover all your essential amino acids in substantial proportions, iron, B12, and your omega 3s and 6s are in the proper ratio.

• intense sugar cravings could be a symptom of candida, i would ceck that out if i were you. i would not recommend juicing, unless you do green juices…because sweet fruit juices are juice sugar without the fiber, and the fiber is equally as important…

• As well as what morning_theft just said, the modern lifestyle is far different form the tree climbing, constantly moving, running, etc. lifestyle of our ancestors (at least for most people). On top of that, we’d be eating some little bugs and so on …

• My comments on fruitarianism are pretty much the same as above. I know a former fruitarian, now regular raw foodie, who said that for two months he felt like he was on a cloud but then started experiencing dental health problems, sugar crashes, anxi…

• simple yam chips make fantastic party food. thinly slice yams with a mandoline or food processor, and season with olive oil, salt, and whatever other seasoning you like (i use an italian seasoning mix). dehydrate at 105 for 6-7 hours, or until crisp…

• Extra virgin cold pressed oils are raw, although I get mine from a farmer I know who presses his olivesat extra cold temperatures, just to be sure. Cocoa powder is not raw, unless it is marked so, i.e. “Raw Chocolate Powder” (which you can get on th…

• The birth control pills and accutane play a part in messing up your hormones and liver respectively, and are likely culprits in unexplained weight gain. Good for you for getting off of them.

• i’d start out 1/3 greens 1/3 fat 1/3 fruit, and then find a balance that works for you. a green smoothie is a fabulous way to start the day, especially with a tablespoon of hemp seeds or bee pollen in it (if you’re ok with bee products). try a rea…

• 30 minutes moderate yoga (mostly stretching) first thing in the morning, 30 minutes cardio later in the day. yoga everyday, cardio about 5-6 days a week. if i know i’m going out clubbing or something i won’t do the cardio, figure i make up for it in…

• I do both. Yoga in the morning for about 30-45 min, then I run about 10k four or five times a week around the afternoon after school. They kind of work hand in hand, because the flexibility I get from yoga helps me get the most out of my runs, and t…

• i eat a moderate amount of nuts, maybe a handful or two (usually the max) per day. nuts are very nutritious in relatively small quantities, although i must say i’ve gone through periods where i ate almost exclusively nuts and didnt gain a pound.
