• I set a goal of 90% Raw, just meaning “mostly.” I still have coffee, tea or both everyday, but I’m so happy with the changes I’ve seen, I can’t kick myself for those things. Weirdly enough, that 10% I’ve held out for cooked food makes me able to tur…

• Good luck on your 30 day challenge! Sites like this one can really provide inspiration on the days when Raw eating seems tough. Most of all—Enjoy the journey!

• Most of my family lives in Virginia, not too Deep South geographically, but definitely so when it comes to food. I now live in So Cal, where Raw is pretty well supported, but going home can be tough. The 1st restaurant we went to on my last trip hom…

• I think it’s hard to give an average. A lot depends on how much you need to lose to be at optimal weight, how much exercise you get, and how balanced your Raw Diet is for your particular needs. The 1st time I went raw I lost about a pound a day for …

• Oat groats are sold raw. I bought some “Really Raw Oats” from The Raw Bakery, but I haven’t used them yet. I’ve been enjoying summer produce too much!

• I’m seriously thinking of going to this, so hopefully I’ll see you there! My boyfriend thinks I need a get-away. (I’m afraid to ask what that means.) I’m thinking it’ll be a great chance to relax, learn and meet some cool people.

• So cool that you’ve taken the initiative to get rid of bad habits. That’s a long way to come in a year! I too used to do the calorie counting thing. One of the joys of Raw Food is putting my calorie calculator deep in the junk drawer. As you read bo…

• Brava, Aleta! So many of my relatives suffer from chronic conditions which would be greatly improved by simply eating better, much less trying Raw. I have family members with high blood pressure and diabetes who don’t think twice about store-bought …

• jenery – There’s nothing selfish about wanting to enjoy your life to the fullest for as long as possible. As for convincing others of the importance of eating well, I can only say play to their particular tastes. Create the healthiest versions you c…

• That does look great! The more recipe options, the easier it is for me to go more and more Raw.

• I used to have 1-2 not so small glasses of wine each night. In the middle of June I decided to give it up completely because it seemed to make me tired in the evening and to make it difficult for me to rise and shine in the morning. I didn’t have an…

• This time around, I’ve been Raw for about 3 weeks (not completely Raw, but almost) and I’ve lost about 10 pounds. I’ve seen a dramatic reduction in the appearance of cellulite. It can happen! I work out daily as well.

• That’s a very cool service. I live about an hour away from that restaurant, but I’ve never been there. I’m going to plan to go there the next time I’m in the area, maybe order the box of food and pick it up.

• We have One Lucky Duck products all the way out here on the West Coast, mostly cookies, crackers, cereals, and other dry goods. I saw them in Mother’s Market.

• I think the truth is that most Americans don’t even give much thought to the nutritional value of what they eat. Most people I know go for a combination of what’s easiest and what they’re craving. Regardless of how Raw we choose to be, we’re making …

  in Why go 100% raw? Comment by Candice
• Rawspring, I can’t argue with anyone’s experience of 100% Raw. I’m impressed by Zoe and others who’re able to do it! My concern is just for those who aren’t ready for 100%, and may never be. I don’t want anyone to think it’s all or nothing, and go b…

• I think you have experiment and do what works for you and your lifestyle. I did a month at 100% once before. I was quite overweight at the time, and the weight came off more quickly than it is this time. Right now I don’t have the money or energy to…

• I finally found some in my local market, along with the sea vegetables. I’m going to try the noodles with some raw pasta sauce and in pad thai. Not sure what I’ll do with the veggies yet.

• Hey VeganBear. My blog is rediscoverrawfood.blogspot.com. My favorite photo from your blog is you with the 2 HP books. I went to a midnight party as well. I’ve been to all of them with!

• That is such a bummer! Maybe RIC is ready, but she wasn’t marketed enough for people to get over there and support her. Maybe I’ll look into some of her delivery stuff when I’m in town. It would be cool to sneak some truly healthy stuff in on my par…

• I love the salt scrub idea! My hair is soooo curly, I have to use product in it or it’s a big frizz ball. (I use a Carol’s Daughter styling product: expensive, but it’s made of natural ingredients). Maybe the salt scrub will be better at getting the…

• I haven’t really been keeping track, but I guess I’ve been no-poo for about 8-10 weeks. As a generalization, African-American hair is dry, and we often have to add oil to our hair. No poo has actually meant needing less oil, though I still add some.…

• Great idea with the fine-tooth comb! I’ve been no-poo for about a month. My hair is quite curly and a bit dry, such that I actually have to add oil to it. I never thought of using a finer comb to distribute the oil. Question: I need to go to my old …

• I lost about 20 pounds in the first 3 months of going back to High Raw. I’d guess I need to drop about 10 lbs more to be at my ideal body size, though I’m pretty happy right where I am. I’m just sticking to High Raw…eating mostly on the lighter side…
